Cooking Class at Travel Bar Port






The place I work is part of a company called Travel Bound. One of the activities they have on offer is a Spanish cooking class. So as Kiki's mum was in town we decided to participate in the class.
First we get to learn about the traditional Tapa's whilst enjoying sangria. Then the wonderful Fernando shows us how to cook Paella.
While the Paella was simmering away Robin taught us how to make Sangria. I have taught the class myself a few times, its always fun, as people get to group up and make their own.
It was a fun evening.

Day Tripping - Sitges

Sitges is a small little town just south of Barcelona. It was a great day when we went to visit, as it was raining in Barcelona but not in Sitges. Kiki's mother Dawn came to visit in Barcelona for a few days and as Wednesday is usually Family day out for my friends so on Wednesday the 8th of June the Family Day Out was a trip to Sitges. It was nice just walking around enjoying the beautiful architectural, the little cafes then some cava strawberry sangria and paella. Thanks girls for a wonderful family day out.

The Parc De La Ciutadella is the most central park in Barcelona, I took these photos when i first got to Barcelona but am only just getting around to putting them up on my blog, i'm sorry.
Some friends from work do a Sunday picnic in the park, which is always fun to join, so if i'm not working or finish work at 5 then i join them for a nice afternoon with other people enjoying the great weather and just relax on some lawn and do nothing.
