We couldn’t be in better company!

No one wanted to miss the spectacular speech from Eduardo Ojeda - co-founder at and one of the most respected winemakers, whose speech on terroir was splendid and filled with historical data and scientific arguments, while we sampled 11 very old sherries from the 30’s to the 50’s, a couple from the 70’, all EXTRAORDINARY!

Moments that will stay forever in our memories 🙏🏻

☀️ Lovely Cadiz, a hidden treasure in the South western Andalusia, remains a well-kept secret, a true paradise that captured our hearts a decade ago.

This enchanting region, with its sun-drenched beaches, vibrant culture, and rich history, offers an idyllic retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

As we explore its diverse landscapes, from the rolling vineyards of Jerez to the pristine shores of Tarifa - just 9 miles from Morocco - we discover a place where time seems to stand still, where the soul finds peace amidst the rhythmic lapping of the waves and the warm, golden light of the setting sun.

Here, in this serene haven, we made our home, embracing the slow, joyful cadence of Cadiz, a decision that has filled our lives with immeasurable beauty and contentment. 💕

Zoom in, finally all the letters are set for FUNDADOR!

El Gallo Azul was inaugurated in 1928. It was commissioned by the Domecq family, who played a significant role in the sherry industry of Jerez de la Frontera. This architectural gem, designed by Aníbal González, with its striking blue tiles and elegant design, captures the essence of Andalusian charm.

On top, the large illuminated letters of Fundador dominate the skyline, symbolizing the legacy of one of Spain’s most renowned sherry brands. Together, El Gallo Azul and the Fundador letters create a picturesque scene in the heart of Jerez. ❤️

Loved seeing Sierra Nevada on Condé Nast Traveler today!

Sunny days, north-facing slopes, and tapas stops make Sierra Nevada one of Spain’s popular resorts, often overshadowed by the Alps.

Flying south to Andalucia might seem counterintuitive, but this southerly resort in the Penibetic range boasts excellent snow-making technology.

Weary ski legs can indulge in a Mediterranean soak after a brisk morning on Sierra Nevada's 110km of pistes. The high altitude offers stunning views and soft, pillowy snow through late April. Modern lifts, well-groomed pistes, and a vibrant village make for a delightful ski holiday, easily paired with a night or two in nearby Granada, known for its architecture and lively tapas scene.

Did you know Spain is the second most mountainous country in Europe behind Switzerland?

The top alternatives where the skiing is top notch.

Step into the past with a sip of Fino Camborio from Bodegas Terry -an extint winery - bottled in 1972!🍷 This gem is a taste of history, a wine that’s been bottled gracefully for over 5 decades!

But what truly sets this 1972 Fino apart is its rarity. Like a hidden treasure chest, it’s a collector’s dream come true. Each bottle is a testament to the art of winemaking, a legacy of the past that you can experience today.

The origins of pintxos, a cherished Basque culinary tradition, can be traced to two iconic creations

① In San Sebastián, the birthplace of pintxos, the "Gilda" is often credited as the inaugural pintxo. Named after the sultry Rita Hayworth character in the film "Gilda," this pintxo combines green olives, anchovy fillets, and pickled guindilla peppers, skewered on a toothpick. Its perfect blend of salty, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors exemplifies the Basque passion for culinary innovation. 🫒

② Meanwhile, in Bilbao, the "Grillo" is another pioneering . This simple yet delightful creation consists of a piece of boiled potato, pickled onion, and a crunchy lettuce leaf, traditionally dressed with olive oil, cider, or white vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt. The Grillo's humble ingredients reflect the resourceful nature of Basque cuisine, where even the most basic elements can result in mouthwatering combinations.

Together, the Gilda in San Sebastián and the Grillo in Bilbao symbolize the rich heritage and inventive spirit of Basque pintxos, which have since evolved into a global culinary sensation.
