Murcia

Murcia has some great places to eat and is pretty good value for money if you hunt around. We ate loads! Spanish chefs acknowledge that Murica is home to Spain's best tapas.

Taberna La Parranda Pequeña. Timbal goats cheese with blueberry jam.

'Matrimonio' – a salted anchovy partnered up with a soft pickled one. It works really well!

Asparagus and jamon with cabrales cheese sauce.

Brocheta.

Empanadas in Pepico del tio Ginés.

Grilled cheese.

We paid a visit to Mi Mejico twice during our stay. This is meal number 1. Chicken tacos.

Enchiladas Poblanas (con salsa mole).

Menu del dia at La Sociedad. Complimentary vegetarian sushi appetizer.

Berenjenas crema (Aubergine in cream sauce)

Migas (Sauteed breadcrumbs with pork)

Arroz y habichuelas (Rice and beans)

Lomo empanado (breaded pork steak)

Crema catalana (Catalan version of creme brulee)

This was our second visit to Mi Mejico to join in the celebrations for Grito de Dolores (Mexican Independence Day). Cue mariachi band and Corona drinks promotion. We started dinner with Ceviche de Pescado.

Mixed starters, empanadas, tacos and tamales.

Enchiladas.

Molcajete dish (Mexican mortar and pestle made from volcanic rock)

Chocolate crepes and tequilas (out of shot) to finish. Salud!
