...because the best gazpacho can be bought in a carton...


...just like milk, but better...and at ALL supermarkets!
(Of course, my spanish friends will say the best is home-made but this is quick, easy and tastes very good to me!)

...because just after Cadequés comes Cap de Creus...






















Cap de Creus, a bit further up the windy road from Cadequés. It is at the end of Spain and a magical place to watch the sunset at the end of the day.

...porque Cadequés ...






















Cadequés, a 1.5 hour drive north of Barcelona, on the Costa Brava.  Beautiful, secluded (meaning a long, narrow and very windy road) and where Dalí and Gala made their home (easy to spot by the eggs and heads on the building).  Coves, calitas (small beaches), and chiringuitos... it is a perfectly pictureque piece of paradise.

...because from Angry Birds come Angry Eggs...


or was it the other way around...










huevos cabreaos ...  French fries, fried egg and spicy tomato salsa all mashed togther and 'very angry'(cabreaos). Unfortunately, there is no way to make it appear as delicious as it is!

...because of another spectacular view from above ...











One of the great things about friends visiting is that I get to see the city from new places. This time, we took the góndola (teleférico) from Barceloneta to Mont Juic for this spectacular view. And yes, it was sunny one way and cloudy the other!
