  • Marinated Sea Bass with Dill.
    It is quite common when you take a look at the native cuisine from any one particular country to come up with a particular theme or common approach / name for the catering or cuisine from that country. Such as Chinese Food, Thai Food etc but to be honest it could be argued that with regards to Spain there is no such thing as “Spanish” food as with the make up and historical heritage of Spain it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.

  • Discovering Undiscovered Spain and Galicia
    Northern Spain and Galicia particularly has long been an undiscovered jewel in the whole of the Spanish tourism industry. Whereas elsewhere in the Iberian Peninsula the climate can be quite continental and extreme, in the northwest and on the coast the climate is as you would expect much milder and more of a maritime nature.

    With regards to Galicia you have a region where you have a rugged coastline with extremely attractive sandy beaches whilst inland the mountainous regions provide a completely different experience for the visitor.
  • A Taste of Galicia - Octopus a Feira
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as French food, Italian food etc but with the regards to Spanish food or more accurately described as recipes that originate from the country of Spain it could be argued that it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. The various autonomous regions that comprise Spain have been slowly pulled together through a variety of different processes some by force, some by choice but they all have one thing in common and that is they have kept their own individual features.

  • Welcome to Historic London
    London is a great place. Contrary to popular belief this is not some feeble attempt at plagiarising advertising copy from other major cities in the world.

    Bad times and good, I have lived and worked in London through them all.
  • Galicia within the Spain of Today

  • Galicia and its Connections to the Greater Celtic Community Worldwide.
    They say there is nothing worse than a homesick Celt a long way from home or a bunch of Celts on a mission if they feel that culture is under threat.

    I can talk about those issues above with a degree of the impunity being a fully paid up “Celt” myself being half welsh and half Scottish.
  • A whistle-stop Guide to the Way of St James
    The patron saint of Spain, St James, is one of the most revered figures in Spain. Probably the most revered male figure, coming in second behind Mary and if truth be known probably a good way ahead of Christ.

    For those amongst us who are possibly not biblical scholars then St. James was the son of Zebedee. St James was also a disciple and a fisherman who gave up his fishing nets to follow Christ. His mother was Salome and his brother was the Apostle John. With me so far?

  • Galicia, A Geological and Historical Introduction

  • Top places to see in Tuscany
    The Tuscany region of west northwest Italy or “Chianti shire” as it is sometimes described is one of those in areas where it is extremely hard to put together a top 10 of any form of tourism highlights.

    Where on earth would you start? Possibly, Florence I suppose.

    here are very few countries that offer the variety of attractions and culture that Spain has to offer.As a country that still has great inter regional “differences of opinion” - euphemism here for cultural differences and in some cases acts of terrorism, Spain still has a tremendous amount to offer.

    The countryside is rich in the heritage of a great many influences from both international and internal sources
  • Reasons to Fall in love with Paris.
    Paris is one of those places you never forget. From having spent some time there as a young student on holiday the memories are quite vivid and long-lasting.

    From being a typical student and partying too hard with the resultant monumental hangover and trying to recover on the steps of Sacre-Coeur. Spending time in quiet reflection at such locations as the “Jeu de Paume.” Trying to get your head around the weirdness and wackiness of the likes of Dali, Magritte and Picasso after having savoured the serenity And peace of the likes of Monet and Camille Pissarro.
  • Travel in Galicia - Following the Camino de Santiago

  • Combining Travelling and Working at the same Time. Good Idea or just plain Dumb?
    The Associated Press have recently reported that 20% of us take our laptop computers with us when we go on holiday.Add to this the other four in five people who said they brought along their mobile phones and you get the impression that some of us can’t bare to be out of touch with the office.
  • We Need to Remain in Touch while we Travel?
    According to a recent survey apparently one in five of us take our Laptop Computers with us when we go on holiday. The umbilical chord that some of us feel with the Office nowadays is so much that the stress drives the remaining four in five people out there to take their mobile phones with them when they go on holiday indicating that extensive periods away from the office and not in touch are a little bit much for some people.
  • Madrid, Capital of Spain Explored.
    Spain's capital, a city of over 3 million people, is situated close to the geographical centre of the country.

    Madrid is fascinating, highly intriguing with wonderfully interesting people. There are those who sarcastically referred to Madrid as Spain's second city after Barcelona by and large those are the people that have never really got to know Madrid. Now I know Barcelona has the Cathedral, the Nou Camp Stadium and was the venue for the most recent Olympic Games to be held in Spain but to write Madrid off as Spain’s second city seems to miss the point completely.

    It is said by some that we live in a global equivalent of a goldfish bowl and international travel has made getting from one city to another easier almost by the hour. The downside of this type of lifestyle is how we look after ourselves and where we stay whilst constantly indulging in this constant never ending round of globetrotting.
  • Eeks! Beware Attack of the Low Cost Carriers
    OK folks, sit up in the back row and pay attention. Hands up those who reckon they can name more than four Low Cost Carriers or (as we more commonly refer to them as) Budget Airlines in Europe?

  • Come To London – A Great Place To Visit!
