Our weekend jaunt to Madrid this weekend was filled with gorgeous food and delicious drink and lots OF SUN! Mike and I may have a complete love affiar with each other, but we also have some room in the relationship for a continued love for Spain. We spent the weekend eating churros (like the ones we served at our wedding!), drinking sangria, and eating manchengo, iberian jamon, and croquetas and exploring the city from the Palace Hotel.
The spicy Spanish fare reminded me of some exciting news that I wanted to share - the saucy Latin restruarant chain Cuba Libreexpanding to DC! The new digs will be located in a U.S. Mint building on the corner of 9th & H streetsin the Penn quarter neighborhood near the Verizon Center and Washington D.C.’s new convention center, and offer open-air tropical ambiance, Latin rhythms and extensive selection of tropical cocktails and tantalizing fare.
So if I can't make it to Spain, or Cuba, then I'll definitely be looking to hit up this muy caliente restuarant chain back in the US of A.
