Delicious pizza for the last night of my Spanish a Delicious pizza for the last night of my Spanish adventure @finoalcala - egg, mushroom, and truffle. I have never seen an egg pizza done like this, but it was incredibly tasty! The base was so light and easy to cut, and the toppings packed a huge punch of fabulous flavours. One more morning/a bit of the afternoon, and then it's to Madrid Airport and home. Just for a couple of nights - my final stop on my crazy October travel is @mklitfest which I cannot wait for! Happy Monday, folks! #fireball #pizza #finoalcala #egg #eggonpizza #spanishfood #dinner #foodies #thedelicatedinerabroad #samanthamattocks #mklitfest #october #crazytravel #mondayvibes

The BEST Spanish flan in Écija today! The caramel The BEST Spanish flan in Écija today! The caramel was incredible, taken right to the edge, so it had that wonderful, deep, rich flavour. I have a new goal to try and make it this good at home!
My favourite Spanish discovery so far - a plant th My favourite Spanish discovery so far - a plant that grows kittens ready to go! Such a sweet kitten here @cordobaecuestre_caballerizas as seen at @a.e.c.c.a Spanish Nationals. This one would make such a cute companion for @magicalmistermishkins - maybe he and his family can appearnin the next book! It is always so lovely to see cats and horses together.
Somewhere in Andalucia, on the road between Madrid Somewhere in Andalucia, on the road between Madrid and Spain. I am here for the Spanish National Arabian Horse Championships, but first, some sightseeing. I have always longed to go to Andalucia, and to be honest, I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a knight on a horse waiting to welcome me over the border...
