galician summer (IV)

Monday turned out to be another great sunny day, perhaps even better than the previous 48 hours. We unilaterally decided to extend our weekend mind frame, and one more time we ended up hanging around the pool and the marble table under the centenary oak tree.

I guess this was our quintessential summer diet: pimientos de Padron, jamon and chorizo iberico de bellota, anchoas del Cantabrico, tomato and lettuce salad, Arzua and Cebreiro cheeses, Cea bread, plus a great albarino. 

Also coming from Meano, this wine is becoming our summer greatest hit, together with all the Pedralongas and their Vendetta in particular. The 2008 Leirana, together with the barrica one have been majestically maximizing our fantastic summer mood.

Generally speaking I adore anchovies, especially the ones coming from the Cantabric sea, like the heavenly ones we had the privilege to digest on Monday.
