Viajes con Los Padres: Food and Flamenco

Definitely took the opportunity to explore more food options in Sevilla on Mom and Dad's budget. They found a favorite restaurant here called Restaurante San Marcos, which we've already been to twice. Last night I got Cordero (lamb) with plums and honey and Dad got Confit de Pato (duck confit) en salsa de naranja. Their first night here we went to Rio Grande, a nice restaurant right on the river. We got pulpo (octopus) to start, I wasn't a fan. I also took them for a bite of flamenco at La Carbonaria, they enjoyed the dancing and guitar, but like me, though the singing is bizarre.

Pulpo!

Sea Bass and Quail Egg

Flamenco

Over the course of their stay, we learned how to order whiskey so that our waiters would understand. Johnny Walker Black Label is the same, but it has to be pronounced with a Spanish accent to be understood. We learned that Rioja is not always red wine, it's a region in Spain that produces reds, whites, and roses, but is most famous for its red. Dad learned that there isn't any dark beer in Andalucia and resorted to drinking Cruzcampos. I mostly sampled the sangria or the vino tinto in our explorations.
