From Valencia to Barcelona

My Featured Blogger this week is Keith of Over Hill and Dale. In 2022, Keith and his wife Erica pulled up stakes after two years of COVID cabin fever and moved to Spain! From their nuevo digs in Valencia on the Mediterranean, they explore near and far — Spain, Prague, Poland, Finland — wherever their wanderlust takes them. And via his photos and lyrical footnotes, Keith takes us along. Magnífico!

Bodega La Palma.

giant wooden casks of vino.

order up a smorgasbord of

catalan cuisine. croquettes,

anchovies, gildas,

tuna tomato salad

slathered in olive in oil.

full up, we wander the Barrí Gòtic,

snaking alleys of Barcelona

plaza life, Barcelona.

mock mojitos & a

pint of Estrella.

cool breeze up off

the Balearic Sea

wafting through Roman alleys,

here in the Barrí Gòtic
