Sleepsong in a steady summer night

 

 

Dreams are floating in the dreary darkness of the night...

Someone, some lips, a smile, and her eyes...

You aren´t undone.

The path keeps open, the endless seek. Look for her.

Just swim in the beauty of her eyes - the darkness- til you find that light spot you ve been always looking for.


You go to sleep on your own.

You wake with your thoughts.

 

 

 

And it scares you being alone.

"5th Ruta de la tapa en Móstoles" gastronomic fair

Weather forecast: Max 19ºC, Min 5º, cloudy.

Hi to all! Today I am going to tell us a tasty event happened last weekend from 18th to 21st April, "5th Ruta de la tapa en Móstoles".

It is a gastronomic fair which crowded bars and restaurants in Móstoles -the second city in Madrid region after the capital of Spain.

Hold on, what´s it a tapa? A "tapa" is a snack served with your beverage. Actually, It used to be a custom to provide a tapa with your drink in almost all Spain.  Today, you have to know very well the place to discover one bar or restaurant which have free tapas as before.

 

What was "La ruta de la tapa en Móstoles"?  It was an idea so as to activate local tourism in these hard times. With only 2€ you could drink a beer plus a designed tapa. Each one of the 53 locals had a specific one. 

 

How to start?

Firstly, begin with one of the bars and get the full map of bars adhered to the fair with its creations.

 

 

 

 

Then,  draw your specific route of tapas which you are interested in and have a good meal!

After that, when you asked for one tapa, the local would stamp that you tasted it in your initial map.

 

What is the purpose?

If you tasted 5 or more different tapas with your qualification, a 100€ meal would be given by draw of participants. Besites, the tapa with more points would be elected as the best tapa in Móstoles.   

 

My personal advice

In my opinion, I recommend you to choose delicacies along the rest and look for a place where you can find a sit at least.

 

In my case I ate 6 tapas between 2 days.

-One of kitchen -very usual because my friends wanted to dinner. It was a piece of kitchen breast with tomato sauce, nothing special.

-Anchovies with quail egg- only a bit for nibbling...

-Tortilla de patata with Jamón Serrano

 

 

-A salmon toast

And the turn for the delicatessen.

-Sirloin toast with a shot of Gazpacho  (a traditional Spanish liquid meal with flavors of salad) and mushrooms as garnish

 

-Sirloin toast a la crème roquefort with peppers and quail egg as garnish.

 

 

 

 

Desire of darkness

Weather forescast: 25ºC Max, 7ºC Min, windy, bright day



Night, night, a warm darkness shattered into the odd and unknown feelings.

If you could write them down, how will you do it?

Withouth a simple or complicated reason.
Without nothing clear around your mind, your throat.

So, suddenly, you appear there dreaming of her- one you have not meet yet.

You can feel her, you can even touch her but...

Unfortunately, it´s only darkness.

Desire.

You wonder how she will be in front of you when the time come.

My dream´s shadow

Weather forecast: Max 25ºC, Min 7ºC, Bright , windy



This night I have a dream, a dark one.

Lovely, I would say if I could remember her taste. Nor her eyes, nor her tender touch, nor her body, but her soul was enough to make me move inside- and so sweet...

Their heels sounded like a heaven´s bell. Her red lips, her all sight, stopped my heart.

And...

Suddenly...

Just the night. I found my arms around the pillow, hoping that such dream will turn into reality, a woman who will complete my soul.

I have a dream, a so so dark one - because it only happened in my mind.

Before to sleep

Before to sleep

I wanna be drunk to feel a little love because there´s only love when I ´am asleep, when the Moon holds the night sky between the silent whispers of these feelings deepen inside. Dreams where her touch is the warm Sun over my skin.

 

 

The strange days by Vetusta Morla

The life goes on. It continues even if you don´t want to.

Sometimes, sometimes, you have so many doubts about your life that you can´t know what is happening.

The life is enough hard to do it harder.

Anyway, there´re points that I understand at all. Why can´t the world be a better place? Why when you are giving to best yourself to change it in a nicer placer is there someone to avoid it?

Too many questions, too few answers.

It´s just a Sunday morning and the cycle begins again.

December 22nd in Spain, a recent tradition

Weather forecast: Min 8ºC, Max 14ºC, mist

The background is: December 22nd, Spain, international reporters in Madrid. Why this? Because they are expecting a recent Spanish custom. The lotto day- people say.

Everybody holds their breath at 8 a.m. when the rit did start. Some children called "San Ildefonso´s children" started their process: catching balls with numbers and crying them with the prizes. Thus, until all the prizes would be given.

Their public was a bit weird. They were freaks with odd fancy dress with number balls and the lotto tickets. A Japanese reporter said it was his first time.

The balls keep going and children´ voices. Nearly the half of Spain was awake to listen who was the affortunated of that big amount of money.

And then. Then, the luckiest people began to jump, bounce, laugh and open Cava bottles. All the same in all the country, the news were only about that. The lotto, the lot.

But wait. You said it is a kind of tradition, didn´t you?


Thanks, little reader. I did say it. 

Most of Spaniards are waiting for this day during all the year. It´s possible to buy the lotto tickets til the December 21st. However, it´s the gift of them wich makes the tradition. Friends, relatives, class and work mates gift participations of that lotto tickets.

The most curious data is that the prize of each ticket worth €20. Even though, the hope of having some more money breaks the money obstacle. Money makes money.

So, you know why I switched off the TV - to avoid watching one and another one the same news.

Have a nice weekend!
