Kero: Perú gets closer to Vigo

Kero: Perú gets closer to Vigo

Once upon a time, Sílvia met Juan Carlos Perret, head chef of Kero. She tried his food in a gastronomic event where she was performing. She told him how she’d love to go to his restaurant but never could because whenever she was in Vigo, it was closed (Sunday is a bitch) He then told her he loved her music too, so they talked for a couple of minutes and there started a very beautiful relationship. Well, actually…not quite that….

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…

Why I won’t be having gammon for Christmas and why I don’t mind.

Why I won’t be having gammon for Christmas and why I don’t mind.

Since 2012 I’ve been celebrating Christmas apart from my family and friends. Apart from what I considered tradition and apart from typical Spanish Christmas food (which by the way, I took with me every year since then, but you get the point, right?). This year, only a couple of weeks ago, I had a car crash. It has stopped the streak of years celebrating Christmas in Ireland, with all our friends and many more (You can read more here) I…

Another Tapas Contest: Tapas Picadillo in Coruña II

Hey there again! I’m on the road to Granada today. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Escuchando Elefantes (@escuchando_elefantes) That’s like a 10 hours journey. Although I’ve been driving already, blogging is like the perfect hobbie. Why? Because if I am bored I can talk to you for as long as I want…I don’t mind if you stop readin. I understand. I think I need to talk about the rest of the dishes I tried for the…

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…

Paprica: Nice restaurant in Lugo

Paprica: Nice restaurant in Lugo

On the 26th of May, I finished the first part of the tour. The last gig was in Lugo, and it was so amazing I still feel Like floating after more than a week. The audience was so great they asked us for three encores, and we couldn’t resist, of course 🙂 We ended the night having some drinks outside pubs, chatting with some of the people in the audience. It was nice. The next day we decided to try Paprica,…

Kausa Nikkei: Peruvian Japanese fusion restaurant in Gijón

Kausa Nikkei: Peruvian Japanese fusion restaurant in Gijón

Last month I was in Gijón because we were playing at Gijón Sound Festival. We arrived the day before the gig, so I had time to try a nice restaurant called Kausa Nikkei. I’m so glad I went to that place. Last time I tried something involving Japanese in Gijón, I remember I didn’t like it at all. I am a sushi addict, and not being able to like any of the pieces of sushi I ordered really made me…

Lomo Bajo (Barcelona)

I’m in Barcelona now and I’ll be staying for a couple of days working. I’m going to try and visit some new places and I’m pretty excited about it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Clara Orozco (@claror) A month ago, we were touring with Glen Hansard and one of the places we went to was Barcelona. I was so grateful, because it’s one of my favourite places to visit. I knew I wanted to visit Lomo…

Mijo Minibar (Vigo)

Mijo Minibar (Vigo)

The other day I told you about Ruxe Ruxe in Vigo. Today, I want to talk about another restaurant in the same city, Mijo Minibar. The night before an amazing gig in Vigo, I couldn’t sleep. You can blame it on stress if you want, but I have the nicest type of insomnia, the one that comes in the morning. Sometimes, I simply wake up because I hear a noise at 5am and I can’t sleep again. It doesn’t bother…
