February 2024: Monthly update. France, melancholy and the food I ate.

February 2024: Monthly update. France, melancholy and the food I ate.

Hey there! How was your January? I bring you the playlist first because I feel like we already have our own little ritual of listening to the tunes while writing/reading my blog posts. My January has been full of joy for the most part, then it became melancholic again. One can’t always be positive, I guess it’s the ebb and flow of life. Emotions are changing constantly. I don’t force happiness because I love melancholy as much as I do…

Logroño – What I ate – January 2020 (Day 2)

Logroño – What I ate – January 2020 (Day 2)

We started 2020 working. Logroño was our first stop on the map this year.     We played at Actual Music Festival (January, the 4th) Right before the Epiphany. For those of you who don’t know, the Epiphany in Spain is a greater deal for many than Christmas Day. They usually exchange presents that day instead of December 25th.      The day started with the buffet breakfast at the Hotel. We stayed at Husa Gran Vía, where the breakfast…

A year after the car crash: Fear, Gratitude and What We Ate.

A year after the car crash: Fear, Gratitude and What We Ate.

A year ago I was involved in a car accident. It was very scary mainly for three reasons: 1) It happened in France and I was supposed to arrive in London for our tour the next day. 2) Carlos tried to avoid the car from crashing four times, but the ice made it impossible to stay on the road. 3) The car got out of the road and turned on one side, making it incredibly difficult to get out of…

What I pack in my carry on: Travel Essentials. Packing tips for two weeks.

What I pack in my carry on: Travel Essentials. Packing tips for two weeks.

On Tuesday I’m taking a plane to Barcelona. I made a video so you can sort of come with me through the process of packing my things. I’m going to stay there almost two weeks and I am going to do a lot of different things: running, yoga, doctor’s appointment, meeting, hanging out with friends, food shopping… so I have to carry many different things. If you want to watch the video, here it is: So, what are your packing…

Lugo Tapas Contest

Lugo Tapas Contest

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…

Asian Food in Coruña’s new restaurant Koh Lanta

Asian Food in Coruña’s new restaurant Koh Lanta

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 Coruña. 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…

Murcia: CaféLab, KEKI, and other things on my mind.

Murcia: CaféLab, KEKI, and other things on my mind.

I remember the first time I went to Murcia was after a gig in Cabo Roig with Paddy Casey. We went there for one night and stayed a whole week. I’d like to blame Paddy’s charm. I don’t know how he does it but we keep postponing life whenever we’re near him. Of course, I’d like to make clear i’m saying this in a very good way. I had some friends there, in Murcia, and I remember one of them…

Buffet breakfast

Buffet breakfast

Although I’ve never been a fan of all-you-can-eat restaurants, I’ve always found a great comfort in buffet breakfast at hotels. I think it reminds me about my childhood when I used to travel to exotic countries with my parents. That moment of the day was my favourite part, no matter where in the world.   I remember a hotel in Tunisia, where I discovered the difference between soft and hard boiled eggs could be a matter of minutes. They labeled…

Christmas in Dublin: Travel diaries and some recipes.

Christmas in Dublin: Travel diaries and some recipes.

Ireland. The land of Guinness, rain, butter, potatoes and music. Probably the best description one can ever give. I already said I’ve been spending Christmas in Ireland for a long time now. Well, except for the Guinness, my Christmas are pretty much those things: rain, butter, potatoes and music. And as far as music is concerned, I couldn’t be happier. This year was a bit different from others. We always take part in a benefic event on Christmas eve to raise…

Tours

Tours

I’ve been travelling to Ireland by car for half a decade now, and I still love it. I think it has something to do with being a musician. I’ve always loved being on the road, staying awake for hours driving, stopping at cities you can’t remember the name of and, of course, eating regional food. Two days ago, one of those cities was Tours, in France. I’ve always wanted to stop there, but never actually did because we were to…
