  • Exquisite and Inspired Fusion at Fismuler,Restaurante Lúa
    Espacio Cervecero, Mini Mahou Brewery in Madrid Mentally bookmarked for more than a couple months, we finally stepped into Espacio Cervecero Mahou in Alonso Martínez and were not let down. Having no expectations allowed us to be surprised at every turn in this small but compact venue. It’s a little bit brewery and tasting space, a little bit restaurant, a bit gift shop and a bit urban art showroom. It’s perfect if you’ve got family or friends visiting or no plans on any given evening. You’ll certainly be surprised by this unusual center of Madrid find. Did you know Mahou is a family-run business? Or that they made a Stout? And an APA (American Pale Ale)? . At Espacio Cervecero each is served on an individually descriptive coaster for each beer but your “beersommelier” will tell you all about it anyway. These little details are what makes this place unique. It feels small in square meters but packs a lot. There are few beers on tap but this allows for more information to be revealed regarding each one. Before you leave, you’ll be asked to evaluate what you’ve tried on one of a few iPads set opposite the bar. If you go through the graffiti and mirror covered hallway, you’ll reach the restaurant. Like myself, you may be distracted by the exposed industrial decor but don’t forget to grab a board game to play at your table on your way in if you like. You’ll find that the menu is limited but gourmet and ideal for tasting a few different plates.

  • Discover Vigo on a Food Tour, Tasting the Best Galician Cuisine by Eatour Specialist Discover Vigo: Food of Vigo in a Small Group
    Visit us Discover Vigo on a Food Tour, tasting the Best Galician Cuisine by EATour Specialist Discover Vigo: Food of Vigo in a small group We’re in the city of Vigo about to start one of the best culinary tours of the city a food and wine tour but lots of walking is involved around too. Vigo is the gateway to the Rías Baixas and the Galician estuaries and is called the City of the Sea, one of the most popular food destinations in the industry of Spain´s food tourism. It’s the world´s biggest fishing port and has the largest fishing companies, Pescanova. Vigo ( which derives from vicus in roman which means hamlet) has a population of 300,000, the largest city in Galicia but did not become a village until the 15th Century. We meet next to a giant statue called El Salto (The Jump) which is a bronze sculpture from the local artist, Francisco Leiro. We head with our local guide to another bronze statue nearby from local artist José Molares of Jules Verne. He was a French writer who wrote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea devoting a chapter about the Bay of Vigo and the treasure under Rande Bridge. Captain Nemo in Nautilus salvaged gold from the Battle of Rande and used it to pay for his adventures. The writer is seated on a giant squid that attacked the Nautilus. Looking out to see across the Bay of Vigo we can see giant, mussel platforms. We then head for Plaza Compostela and Alameda Park and the attractive buildings around them.

  • Lepidorrhachis Mooreana (H
    Palm Conservation – Palm Specialist Group Lepidorrhachis mooreana (H. Wendl. & Drude) O. F. Cook Status: Not Evaluated in IUCN Red List. Vulnerable according to Dowe in Johnson (1996). Preliminary evaluation based on IUCN 2001 criteria: Endangered (EN B1a,bv) Common name Little Mountain Palm. Natural range Lepidorrhachis mooreana is restricted to the summits of Mt. Gower (875 m) and Mt. Lidgbird (777 m) on the remote Lord Howe Island. It occurs only above 750 m in dwarf mossy forest that dominates the summit plateau of Mt. Gower and the narrow summit ridge of Mt. Lidgbird. This forest is home to numerous remarkable endemic species including the pumpkin tree (Negria rhabdothamnoides), an arborescent member of the Gesneriaceae, and Dracophyllum fitzgeraldii (Ericaceae). It is also the primary nesting locality of the providence petrel (Pterodroma solandri) and is a stronghold for the woodhen (Tricholimnas sylvestris), an endemic member of the rail family that was recently rescued from the brink of extinction. However, less that 0.5 km2 of Lord Howe’s total surface area of 12 km2 is found above 750 m. The total area of suitable habitat available to Lepidorrhachis is thus extremely limited. Recognition characteristics Lepidorrhachis is very easily distinguished from the two other endemic palm genera on Lord Howe Island, Howea and Hedyscepe. It is a short solitary palm with a stem that rarely exceeds 2 m in height. It has stiff, arching leaves with short, deeply split leaf sheaths that do not form a distinct crownshaft. The sheaths are also covered with buff indumentum. Its bushy inflorescences are born below the leaves and are unisexual, both male and female inflorescences occurring on the same plant.

  • Gastronomy.Pdf
    Galician cuisine Gastronomy is one of Galicia’s main attractions: the quality and variety of local produce, the lasting traditions and evolution while respecting the past form the basis of Galician cuisine. Local products, whether crops or livestock or, especially, from the sea, have their own special characteristics and are cooked in ways that are traditional and thoughtful, home-made, unhurried, plentiful and varied, giving rise to a special, highly-renowned and much- appreciated cuisine. The importance of gastronomy for Galician’s can be seen in more than 300 food fairs that are held throughout the year all over the Autonomous Region. These celebrations of produce from the land, which generate so much interest among visitors, originated from local or regional celebrations commemorating typical traditions, friends’ meetings, or are held to coincide with harvests or religious festivals, like the pilgrimages, where fulfillment of a promise to the Saint is completed with a traditional meal. From the Sea" Traditionally, Galicia, with 1,300 kilometers of coastline and a huge number of fishing ports, has been a region that lived from the sea and from fishing, one of its inhabitants’ main activities. Accordingly, Vigo is now Europe’s main fishing port and Galicia’s rias are the world’s largest producers of mussels. The coastline’ exceptional conditions, alternating the highest cliffs in Europe with the calm waters of the rias, along with abundant nutrients from the Atlantic Ocean at these latitudes, have formed a unique ecosystem, which supplies the most exquisite culinary markets. Goose barnacles from the coasts battered by the Atlantic waves, Norway lobsters, clams, spider crabs, sea crabs, shrimps and lobsters from the rias, together with oysters, mussels and cockles, among other species, form part of the Galician coast’s treasure, alongside octopus, squid, turbot, red and white sea bream, sardine, wolf-fish and other many species that populate Galicia’s coasts.

Mark Edward Dickson Lord Howe Island, southwest Pacific 1 Abstract Lord Howe Island, situated 600 km east of Australia, provides a unique opportunity to study the development of rock coast landforms and the long-term planation of an oceanic island. The island is a remnant of a large shield volcano that was built by late-Miocene hotspot volcanism. Since this time, the island has gradually migrated northward into warmer seas, and marine planation, operating at a decreasing rate over time, has reduced the island to a vestige of the original volcano. Lord Howe Island currently lies at the southern limit to coral growth.
