Baked cod with muscat grapes
Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but I remember that it was right on the edge of the Santa Cruz neighborhood in Sevilla (maybe along La Avenida de Menéndez Pelayo, but I'm not sure anymore). Anyway, my sister and I stopped in this bright bistro-like restaurant for an amazing tapas lunch.
Spinach with chickpeas and garlic
Tomato and mozzarella "napoleon"
Fritto misto - including calalmari, sardines, and cod
And then we took a stroll before the day got too hot (we ducked indoors everyday in Seville at 2 or 3 in the afternoon). The residents of the Barrio Santa Cruz say it's always 10°F cooler there because of the whitewashed, thick walls and narrow streets. I wouldn't say it was cool, but the little streets were definitely a welcome relief from the sun-baked thoroughfares near the cathedral. And they make a lovely labyrinth to wander through...
with niches for mini-altars,
small plazas with citron trees and tinkling fountains,
past old doors, hiding cool, dark secrets.
Here's to a mellow, breezy summer weekend!
