I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE that one of our favorite places for dinner here in Los Boliches in Fuengirola is Restaurante Primavera. Primavera means spring in both Italian and Spanish, and that's what it is, a breath of spring. Great food. All products are fresh and organic and all dishes, including desserts are made in-house. Always a warm welcome and wonderful service. Another of those very special and rare places where we're treated like family. The staff have become our friends.
And if you''re lucky, Fran will "grate your parmesan."

Fran could "grate my parmesan" all night long.
ReplyDeleteBob took the words right out of my mouth!
DeleteBob and Jennifer:
DeleteI'll bet he could, too!
pa pa parmesan oh yes!
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteI'll have to tell Fran he's got a new nickname.
You find the best places and people.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteWe've been very fortunate. And when we find them, we stay with them... unless we move.
I agree with Bob and Jennifer. Fran can grate my parmesan anytime, any place! I don't even like parmesan all that much, but for Fran I can fake it. I want to yank his hair, is that so wrong? Wait, was this a food post?
ReplyDeleteDeedles:
DeleteOhhhh, stream of consciousness. A hilarious peak inside your head. And, no, this wasn't REALLY a food post. I mean, did you look at Fran? Oh, yeah, you did. (Did I mention he's a part-time fireman?)
Ooh, a fireman! Balder Half is a Deputy Fire Marshal. He's in prevention not suppression but he is oh so sexy in his dress uniform! He knows a lot of firemen and takes pictures. Life is good!
DeleteLook at that smile.
ReplyDeleteKirk:
DeleteCharming, too. The smile is sincere.
I figured Spanish and Italian share a lot of words. Probably makes it easier to be bilingual in Europe when one language isn't drastically different.
ReplyDeleteEnglish is the weird one. Germanic in foundation (Anglo-Saxons to thank there) and Latin roots in advanced vocab (thanks William the Conqueror and his Old Norman French)
Adam:
DeleteI first studied Spanish when I was a kid. Then in college I started Italian. I would get really confused because I wasn't never quite sure if the word was supposed to be the same or if I was just mixing up the languages. Some words are identical. Some words have nothing in common.
Fran can grate more than my parmesan!!!
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteOh, he could for certain. As I mentioned to Deedles previously, he's also a part-time fireman. He could MELT your parmesan.
Or light my wick.
DeleteNice! Flan can grate my parmesan and eat it too!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Mitchell. Be well.
Robyn:
DeleteHe's definitely a cutie.
all of us want fran to "grate our parm cheese"! he IS a little hottie!
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteAnd... a fireman. So, yes, a hottie.
There is never too much Parmesan, or Fran
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteSo true. And he's not alone at Primavera in his abilities to grate one's parmesan. He's just the only one always willing to be photographed.
Yumm yumm!
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteAnd the food looks good, too, doesn't it?
There was food???
DeleteI can't be witty without being naughty, so I'll just enjoy the photos. :)
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteYou don't have to say a thing. You can just watch everyone else be naughty.
