Spanish Wedding Sample

Montegrosso / Andria


Go Puglia, albeit for business, it is always nice. Either because the highway is smooth and comfortable which seem, to want the serenity of the landscape it crosses. Driving relaxes me exceedingly, and the fact that it only allows me to drive chasing my thoughts without interruption. From time to time I like the background of my favorite CDs or radio. Today I'm listening to Annie Lennox in an old collection, I love especially Why is sublime. The replay over and over again is the right motto quiet of my observations.
I am meeting with my co-worker at the exit of Canosa, straight from the customer and after three hours of negotiations, fruitful luckily, I salute you. Are 13.00 and start the provincial 231, which connects with the city of Canosa Federico II; direction Borgo Montegrosso .
E 'survives a hill where a small rural village, we will live a hundred people. P.zza S. Isidoro is the fulcrum and side is the restaurant Antichi Sapori , toward which we move, which has become a cult place. Chef Peter Zito has made it a jewel of the restaurant without a reservation is difficult pugliese.Praticamente find a place on any day of the week.
The friendliness of the staff and family of people you find here is really typical of the south.
The kitchen is fantastic, simple and sophisticated at the same time, what about the fantastic caramelized onions or celery, that accompany the cheese, an unusual variant of the classic jams, but all the appetizers are fantastic. Here the reinterpretation of old plates added value without first stravolgere.Tra personally my favorite is the cream of beans topped with braised chicory from the fantastic extra virgin olive oil, or its variant upside down, eh already broad beans with chicory cream.
The fragrance and taste of these vegetables can be explained well ... take a walk a few meters from the restaurant .... there is a splendid garden, full of all the vegetables and herbs that enrich the cuisine of Puglia. A Zen garden with produce.
A dinner for two appetizers and first course, dessert, coffee and digestive € 50.00.

Basketball Opening Prayer

July 2, 2010 Santa Maria diLeuca - July 1 Lucugnano







8:30 am
just time difare breakfast, my partner is down waiting area. We are moving towards
S. Maria di Leuca , through the sunny countryside of Salento, a little hot and humid. Sky blue, slightly cloudy by its a just sopportabile.La road winds along stretches of olive groves, majestic hours, now twisted. To 13.030 after the last visit to a customer take the road to S. Maria di Leuca.
parked in the square before the cathedral, picturesque scenery that presents itself to me ... I do not know where to turn our gaze to my right ... the meeting between the two seas with the extreme heel of the boot in front of me ... the proud lighthouse, I turn and look at the plaza outside the cathedral enchanted. The glare of the sun on the stones is blinding. Fantastic.
After taking the usual photos we put ourselves in the car to go to Lucugnano lunch.
few miles and there we are. Village of about 2000 inhabitants with a small square on overlooked by a medieval Castellotto fairly well maintained. I imagine that a restoration restores splendor and majesty to a structure that requires. We are moving to the left of the square and find that the restaurant is closed for lunch .. ohohooh .... here and take over that bit of luck helped by the curiosity to discover new things ... we see a return to the streets and medieval cloth on a balcony of Castellotto with Trattoria written clearly, and we get surprise ..... .. opened a new eating place. We go and wonder. a room with a vaulted ceiling, fresh, with plastered walls of ocher, a cabinet full of belief in Kentish style wine bottles on the shelf. We find that the restaurant is called
Castle Momo, recently opened and offers simple kitchen area with homemade pasta.
We decided to try the sliced \u200b\u200btomatoes with fresh basil and ricotta salata and advises us as second owner of a fried Mediterranean fish, praising its freshness. Ok convinced us. I must admit I was right, the noodles soft and fragrant and lightly fried, tender and definitely fresh. We allow ourselves a glass of local wine, a Negramaro bulk without aristocratic pretensions, a winery in the area that gives us more than we expected. A smooth taste, fresh and sweet, that makes you immediately want to try again. An honest and without wine superstructures. The fact of drinking it in earthenware cups was fun and very suitable to the place, ahhaha, for a moment I felt the castle of an imaginary kingdom ...
I let myself be convinced to even try the cake and opt for a cheese and jam tart berries, almost Italian-style cheesecake, good, delicate and harmonious flavors.
The cost of everything? 58 euro in two. Well spent.
are the 16.00 I have to start. I have 550 km to go back home. Two days
wonderful, fulfilling job is that I was given a further store of knowledge.

How To Deodorize Ski Gloves

Gallipoli




The hotel where I stayed is the Bellavista Club, Gallipoli seafront. The photos I've taken from my room on the eleventh floor. I would say that here time has stopped at the time of its construction, style 70 years, both as architecture and as furniture. Antiquated, but spacious, clean room and 113 on the eleventh floor with stunning sea views and the old town. Price € 80.00 including breakfast. Its strong point is that almost six in the center of nightlife Gallipoli.


around last night after returning from work, shower and then off to walk along the coast. Dinner to Marechiaro , near the Coast Guard. For those who love the raw here is fresh, the owners have vessels so ... .. friendly staff, fast. Starter and the first two glasses of rosé Mjere Calò wineries (80% and 20% Malvasia Nera Negramaro vinified alone), coffee and dessert 35.00 €.


sweets I suggest you take those home, the cookies are fantastic vaguely reminiscent of the Rococo in Naples, but kind of soft.


After dinner stroll and find yourself in the magical atmosphere of the old town. Charming, well-lit shops that open offer local crafts and souvenir shopping. Tourist restaurants, bars and lots of noisy and cheerful youth that fills the lanes and you turn piazzette.Ovunque views are fantastic with warm, mysterious shadows, created by lighting recall ever invadente.Stradine winding wing mind without a shadow of denial the typical Islamic architecture and charming, the rest of the Saracens have dominated for decades ....
