Isn’t it ironic? A city where they offer you a free tapa with each drink anywhere holding a contest in which you have to pay for the tapas. Well, maybe not ironic, but your belly has to be ready for something like that. I’ve visited the city twice while this happened, they still offered you the free tapa even after ordering a paid one. I really wanted to try as many places as possible. It wasn’t possible to try more…
Ooops! I did it again! I went to Mijo Minibar and it was, as expected, delicious. Carlos and I decided to go do some busking in Vigo. We always love spending time there. After a morning playing in Ourense, we head towards Vigo in order to grab something to eat. Carlos suggested Mijo and I couldn’t say no. With our drinks came a glass of complementary olives and pickles, as well as some hummus. I was very glad about the…
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about one of my restaurant experiences. This is a good one for two reasons: I went twice and it’s Asian. It was my mum’s birthday a while ago and we all went to celebrate to Koh Lanta, a new restaurant in Coru帽a. I’ve taken a while to write about this because I’ve been busy with other stuff I had in mind, but I think it’s about time because their food is worth taking the…
On the 26th of May,聽I finished the first part of the tour. The last gig was in Lugo, and it was so amazing I still feel Like floating after more than a week. The audience was so great they asked us for three encores, and we couldn’t resist, of course 馃檪 We ended the night having some drinks outside pubs, chatting with some of the people in the audience. It was nice. The next day we decided to try Paprica,…
Last month I was in Gij贸n because we were playing at Gij贸n Sound Festival. We arrived the day before the gig, so I had time to try a nice restaurant called Kausa Nikkei. I’m so glad I went to that place. Last time I tried something involving Japanese in Gij贸n, I remember I didn’t like it at all. I am a sushi addict, and not being able to like any of the pieces of sushi I ordered really made me…
I’m in Barcelona now and I’ll be staying for a couple of days working. I’m going to try and visit some new places and I’m pretty excited about it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Clara Orozco (@claror) A month ago, we were touring with Glen Hansard and one of the places we went to was Barcelona. I was so grateful, because it’s one of my favourite places to visit. I knew I wanted to visit Lomo…
The other day I told you about Ruxe Ruxe in Vigo. Today, I want to talk about another restaurant in the same city, Mijo Minibar. The night before an amazing gig in Vigo, I couldn’t sleep. You can blame it on stress if you want, but I have the nicest type of insomnia, the one that comes in the morning. Sometimes, I simply wake up because I hear a noise at 5am and I can’t sleep again. It doesn’t bother…
On Friday we had a great gig at La F谩brica de Chocolate in Vigo. Well, I say great, but appart from that it was kind of mental. Two people fainted at the beginning, and it was kind of difficult to stay concentrated. After the gig I could talk to Ana, one of them, and she was feeling better. I hope Dani, the other guy, feels OK now because I couldn’t talk to him after the show. Some made jokes comparing…
Two years ago, I saw some adverts announcing Forum Gastron貌mic in Coru帽a. I had’t been there the previous month because I had to work, so when I saw the dates, my heart broke. I couldn’t go. So I waited for two long years hoping they bring it back to my city (with some thoughts of going to Girona or Barcelona where it is celebrated as well, but always work got in the middle). Finally it was February 2017 and I…
