From early 1990s: Mi Primera Rumba, by La India aka La Princesa de la Salsa and Eddie Palmieri. Not the best quality video; absolutely fantastic performance.

Restaurante Le Provençal
Calle Isaac Peral, 61, Corralejo, Fuerteventura
Who goes to Spain to eat in a Provençal restaurant? As it happens, I do.
One sunny day July last year, I was walking along Calle Isaac Peral in Corralejo. I saw an unpretentious tapas bar which I thought could be worth exploring at some point. At that precise moment, however, I was looking for a peluquería so I walked by.
Some four months later, I found myself at the very same corner. The tapas bar was apparently shut down.
Last week, to my surprise, I found the place re-open and re-named. (By now you should have guessed that I hang in Corralejo a lot.) I saw a group of French-speaking people already sitting there, so I decided to give it a try.
I was greeted by its charming and attentive owner. (She speaks fluent English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. How is that?) Here's what I had:

- Starter: gazpacho Andaluz. I have to admit this was the best gazpacho I've had so far.
- Main: fish of the day was moray eel, pan-fried with herb sauce. I never tasted this fish before. It was delicious. However, it has many fine bones, so be extra careful, especially if you like to chat during your meal!
- Dessert: Tarte Tatin with cream. Yummy, but next time I will have it with ice cream. Must be even yummier, n'est-ce pas?

La canción de la semana #256
After attending couple of sevillana classes in Corralejo (which were good fun; shame I have to go tomorrow!) I just can't get this one out of my head: Pasa la vida by Albahaca.
Pasa la vida, pasa la vida |
