Spain is my favourite country to visit, and I’ve seen a few different parts of it now, from the green mountains of Galicia and dramatic coastline of the Basque Country to the heat of Madrid and beautiful beaches of the Balearics. However this was my first trip to Andalucia, and it certainly won’t be my last.

The Tastiest Tapas in Bristol
*Updated July 2017*
I like to believe that I love all food the same. I struggle to think of a national cuisine I haven’t enjoyed.
