WE STAYED AT the Hotel Blanco y Verde (White and Green Hotel) in Conil de la Frontera. I suppose it's got that name because Conil is a Pueblo Blanco (white village) and the hotel wraps around a surprisingly paradise-like interior garden (green). It's a funky, comfortable hotel with, according to Tere, the best restaurant in all of Conil. After our lunch there, I wouldn't argue. I had a revuelto (sort of a Spanish scramble) with cod (bacalao) that was without a doubt the best revuelto I've ever had. And I love revueltos. We would have had dinner there Monday night, but the restaurant is closed on Mondays. Just as well, though. We would have missed out on Bar Juan Maria (yesterday's post).
NOS ALOJAMOS EN el Hotel Blanco y Verde en Conil de la Frontera. Supongo que tiene ese nombre porque Conil es un Pueblo Blanco y el hotel se extiende alrededor de un jardín interior sorprendentemente paradisíaco (verde). Es un hotel confortable y con según Tere, el mejor restaurante de Conil. Después de nuestro almuerzo allí, no discutiría. Tuve un revuelto con bacalao que fue sin duda el mejor revuelto que he probado. Y me encantan los revueltos. Hubiéramos cenado allí el lunes por la noche, pero el restaurante está cerrado los lunes. Pero igual de bien. Nos hubiéramos perdido el Bar Juan Maria (publicación de ayer).

ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteExcellent cheesecake, too!
Everything looks de-lish!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteIt was. And then two hours later we went out for coffee and more dessert!
Nora sure looks a lot like Tere, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteIf Nora turns out anything like Tere when she grows up, the world will be a better place. Tere is one of those very special, very rare individuals.
Cheesecake! I always go straight for the dessert
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteI always try for a healthy meal... then mess it all up with a really decadent dessert.
This post makes me hungry...and I just ate!
ReplyDeleteKirk:
DeleteMy meal posts tend to make my mouth water all over again.
Growl goes my stomach....and I just ate!!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful!
Jim:
DeleteSo good and such a charming spot.
Mentioning hotels, I don't think I'll ever stay at one again. I really liked our AirBnB when we stayed in DC. I also enjoyed how you don't have a hive of people all over the place.
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteUnless it's a very long stay, I prefer hotels. No cooking. They make the beds and clean the room every day. The restaurant did get busier that day but never mobbed. It was a Tuesday afternoon. I imagine July and August will be jam packed!
revuelto! A new word - and dish - for me! I want to try this.
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteAlthough it looks sort of like scrambled eggs, it tastes nothing like it (and the texture is very different, too). I LOVE them and Jerry has made them.
Why do I always feel heavier when I leave this blog?
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteI eat the stuff and then, by sharing magic photos, YOU put on all the weight.

You do know how to live.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteIf only I could remember ALWAYS to appreciate it.
Oh, how I do enjoy your posts :)
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteAnd oh, how I enjoy your comments.
Nom nom nom! Just send me those desserts right now!
ReplyDeleteKnatolee:
