Las Cuevas de Luis Canelas, a traditional restaurant near the
     Plaza Mayor:

     Tapas of mushrooms and crab croquettes.

     [DJB: The house wine was excellent, too.]
 

     CARMONA (outside Sevilla)

     Restaurante y Meson Molino de la Romera:
    
     Tapas of espinacas (spinach) with chickpeas, and squash with
     cheese and toasted bread.
 

     [DJB: Carmona was an optional side trip that I did not choose.
     I missed some great food!]

     Traditional white gazpacho, made with almonds and garlic.
 

     Casa Pilates, a restaurant dedicated to the bullfight, with
     posters of  bullfights and actual bulls' heads on the walls:

     Plates of fried fish with espinacas in the background.

 

     Eggplant stuffed with quince, battered, and lightly fried.

     [DJB: I love eggplant and this dish, with the additional of fruit, was superb.]
 

     [DJB: My favorite desserts, pastries, were elsewhere, but this was
     certainly the most elaborate and refreshing.]

     Restaurant La Espuela at Plaza de Toros (a bull ring.):

     Huge, tasty paella with chicken and fish only.

     [DJB:  I went back for thirds!]

 

     La Cruz Blanco

     Scallops in the shell.

     La Mimbre, a patio restaurant outside the walls of the Alhambra:

     Mixed salad of cut lettuce and vegetables, similar to the salads we had
     at almost every meal in Spain, except prettier.

 

     [DJB: Indeed, I was struck by the absence of leafy lettuce throughout our journey.]

     Lovely spinach salad and tapas of marinated asparagus, mushrooms,
     squares of tortilla (egg omelet), cheeses and meats, and tiny cups of
     tomato gazpacho.

DJB:  I do not know about others on our journey, but I gained weight. Traveling allows us, even obliges us, to taste new, or at least indigenously prepared, foods. These dishes are only a small sampling of our meals. We hope that you enjoyed the viewing. Did we whet your appetite?
