Antonio’s Spanish Croquetas Recipe – The perfect guilty pleasure tapa
When you think of Spanish food, the first thing that generally comes to mind is paella or potato tortilla. However croquetas (especially in Andalucía) are a staple on the tapas menu, and a delicacy I was lucky to learn how to make. My adopted Spanish family invited me...
48 hours in Toledo
For anyone looking to visit a city close to Madrid, Toledo is a beautiful and ancient city that simply can’t be missed. Beautiful castles, rich history and medieval knights, Toledo deserves more than just a day trip. Here’s how you can spend 48hrs in Toledo! As I had...

Spain Time

Osuna – Searching for Khaleesi
I admit I can get a little obsessive at times. I am a creature of habit and once I find something I like, I stick to it loyally. The TV series Game of Thrones (and book series A Song of Ice and Fire) is one of those things that I happily admit to being a “Friki”...
Packing: The dilemma of a Shoe Addict
The Shoe Addict, the Fashionista and Princess Tim Tam had a tough time in this necessary step towards a new and temporary (for now) life in Spain. So what does one pack for 9 months, and practically all seasons abroad, whilst limiting it to only 23kgs? And more...
