Little dishes, big tastes, best enjoyed with wine, what’s not to love? When Nicole and I decided the best way for us to get to Morocco was through Madrid, I couldn’t wait! First we made a little stop at La Casa del Abuelo, named for the sweet wine from Alicante and known for their shrimp. Then we went for more variety at Casa Alhambra, which serves larger plates. Now that I’ve gotten a little taste, I might need a real trip to Spain next year!

Our feast also included fried calamari rings. We definitely over-ordered, but it was fun to have a variety. Can’t wait to go back!
