Andalucia last week of February 2020

It is spring and we are here in Andalucia for our 24th time during the last 11 years.

At the beach of a windy Mediterranean Sea. Some chilly waves reach the shore and the snow is still up in Sierra Nevasa,  but my wife is dressed for every climat

.

Our hotel´s management has given us a traditional bienvenido gift and the flag is up telling the other longstayers that we has arrived.



The wind has disapeared and harbor restaurant, with the best Chicken Curry in Fuengirola, also has a great large beer.



A selfie at the Sky Bar at Hotel Puerto is only a documentation that we are happy being together.




Then it is time for visiting Malaga City. Here the Christmas seems to last forever or at least till Easter.



In Malaga we always visit Meson Iberico and our great friends behind the tapas bar. Alvaro´s cured ham cutting if fantastic every time.



February 29th is El Dia de Andalucia and together with almost only Spanish people we had our first (but not last) lunch at La Farola. Our table was ready as expected.

Food and Beverage, January 2020

I often publish blogposts from our visits at restaurants and pubs during our long stays at Costa del Sol. But we are urban people and visiting food and beverage venues here in Norway are also some of our activities. Therefore this blogpost.



I start with an image from the Gastropub Amundsens Bryggery & Spisested ,where lots of people gather for pints, wine and good food. Recommended.



Another pub to be frequented is Fru Burums. This was our "local" in the years we lived at Frogner Oslo and it is still nice to be recognized by other guests when visiting by chance.



A new restaurant at Egertorvet is also recommended. Olivia Eger. Real Italian / Roman and you feel welcome for lunch, dinner or just a Vino Bianco.



The lounge at Grand Cafe is also a place where you can relax over a Valpolicello Ripasso or test the fantastic winelist in the basement bar. However  it is only at Grand Cafe you can look at Per Krogh´s wall painting og the Kristiania Bohemians



Without including an image from our new "local" Tekehtopa at St Olavs square would be an insult.  A great outdoor place at summer afternoons but also lovely during the dark months inside in Oslo. Highly recommended.



Just for the balance I choose to share a photo form a completely different food and beverage place: a family dinner at Tullen´s sister new home. We are not eating out every day in Norway.
