My family has been spending every summer in Andalucía since I
was born. We even lived here for a year when I was a kid. To add to that, my
sister married a Spanish man and they have four little munchkins, so needless
to say I feel right at home when I come to Marbella.
Our schedule has been typically Spanish. Waking up late, bathing
in the sun, then a late lunch and a lovely siesta (nap) under a beautiful
breeze. Dinner is always ridiculously late but incredibly good. It's truly a
holiday, and I have been enjoying doing absolutely nothing productive at all.
I am particularly enjoying this summer with Phares as
he was just a baby last summer when we were here. My little man is eagerly discovering the world so I cannot begin to tell you
how much fun that is. I'm taking him to places I went to when I
was his age, and that really puts life in perspective for me - time flies, so
it's crucial to appreciate every single moment no matter how cliché that
sounds.

Of course food has as always been sumptuous in Spain. From the
most gorgeous braised octopus we had last night, to phenomenal Carabineros
(large, red prawns typical to Spain), sardines in the best olive oil on the
planet (truly) and so much more... I truly have been enjoying every bite since I have landed in
Spain.
I was getting ready to make a tortilla, one of my comfort foods.
So I thought it would be fitting to share the "Spanish Tortilla" which
was on the blog some time ago but is also now a recipe from the book with a beautiful image from fabulous Sukaina from Sips and Spoonfuls. It's
perfect at any time of day, something you can quickly whip up so it makes it
ideal for busy bees like us. It's quite versatile too, so you can add pretty
much anything you like to it (think peas or yummy spinach for
example).
Hope you enjoy this one. Much love from sunny Andalucía ;)
