Shirley... And All... May I introduce the Chef?

On my first day there I had a fantastic:
suckling pig supreme with honey & spice sauce served with a shot of its own broth (Cochinillo)...

Furthermore, the Ronda gastronomy was delicious! It has been so easy to travel and follow my GF & DF diet... All the Restaurants collaborated with my requests... Yes, it has been a special, different and wonderful birthday vacation.

I am looking forward to travel again to Ronda and to overnight there.

It is worth a longer visit.

Love,
Tessa

Wanted to taste it?

Here is the picture of the "Cochinillo"

Desserts were not DF but my husband could enjoy the following:

Miura: delicious puff pastry stuffed with almond cream, white chocolate and cherries in Miura liquor
(Miura is cherry flavoured liquor ) with vanilla ice cream

It was all delicious my friends

Love,
Tessa

P.S.: Tex, I apologize. I do not know how to post this image smaller, do you know the code?

Hi Tessa,

No need to apologize. It appears that the image you are using is stored on a server at, (or leased by), the hotel. The image address is

http://www.hotelbandolero.com/foodimages/miura.jpg

If you wanted to show it in your post as a thumbnail, that can be enlarged by clicking on it, you would have to either download that image to your own computer, and then browse to it to select it, in one of the image posting windows below the message composing window, (either imageshack, or the other one), or else enter that URL from the remote computer, directly into the image hosting window, and they will automatically provide a thumbnail. (Of course, with imageshack, you have to copy the correct URL for a thumbnail from their site, and enter that URL into your message).

Or, you could download the image, and then resize it, using an image processor, before adding the image to your post.

That looks like a very nice place to visit, with an excellent menu, and a very helpful chef. I got hungry, just looking at the pictures of food. I notice that they have to chain the large wooden wagon or cart wheel to a post, to keep it from being stolen, just like here in this country. LOL. Some people will steal anything that's collectible.

Love,
Tex

And Tessa---I will have to add----a double yum----the food looked heavenly----

All the pictures were lovely-----and the chef wasnt too bad either---

It certainly is good for the *mind&soul* to take a little vacation---and hopefully leave all worries @ home---

Enjoy your another new year of your life----
