We had lunch at this very small, casual restaurant on a Monday. The restaurant is very small, so do…read morecall and make a reservation especially if you come with a group. Even though they were out of a lot of their seafood we managed to get lots of dishes to share and had a wonderful meal. Jesus was our waiter and even though it took him a few minutes to warm up to us (he was kinda grouchy at first), he was ultimately very kind and attentive. The anchovies with baby artichokes were delicious. We also had a complimentary dish of cured tuna (mojama) with salted Marcona almonds, a super fresh tomato salad with lots of amazing olive oil, a fantastic piece of chuleton and some gambas among other dishes. Be very careful with the price of gambas, it's not what's listed on the menu (15 euros) as they charge you for 100gm which ends up being more expensive. Other people reportedly previously complained about this deceiving fact on the menu but for some reason this hasn't been corrected yet. Our server did let us know about the cost in advanced which we appreciated. They didn't really have any dessert to offer us, instead they brought out some complimentary cookies and shots (chupitos), a nice gesture to end our meal.

We visited the shop in early January 2018. It was a charming walk among stacks and stacks of bowls,…read moreplates and jugs. It was a cold day and there was a roaring fire. The gentleman that I assumed was the owner left us be so we could make a decision. I do not believe he speaks much English, and neither myself or my boyfriend speak much Spanish. But we made it work! We left with our purchases of a cross, fruit bowl, oil jug and vase. All at reasonable prices and wrapped up in bubble wrap and paper for the long journey home (nothing broke, phew!). The pottery pieces are beautiful, sturdy and so colorful! We wanted to buy larger pieces but with limited luggage space that would have been difficult. I do believe pieces can be shipped but we didn't have the time to inquire. I love that these are mostly traditional pieces, a craft handed down generation after generation. The shop is also a studio and we saw a gentleman carving vases in the back of shop. We went to one other shop that was much smaller, less variety, and honestly with pieces not nearly as beautiful as this one. Please note that in the town of Ubeda literally every shop owner takes a siesta between the hours of 2pm and 5pm. However this shop opened back up at 4pm. This shop is easy to find as it has several large windows with pottery on display. It's on the same street as Hotel Maria de Molina.

The room had a balcony to the courtyard that was so unique to any hotel I have ever stayed at. The wedding went perfect and the location was perfect. Ubeda is a beautiful town on a hill top with orchards surrounding for miles. The residents are so welcoming and the food is beyond anything we have in the US. I hope I can return.

We were in the absolute middle of nowhere on our way from Valencia to Córdoba, when the World Cup…read moregame time was quickly approaching. We were crossing our fingers in hopes we'd find somewhere to watch it and have a cerveza among the olive fields and nothingness. Luckily my yelp app led us here. The place was deserted when we arrived but we were promptly greeted by the server and a TV playing our game. We were in luck! The server was very kind and helpful in finding us something to eat that fit our dietary restrictions. We told him to surprise us with a little of everything. He brought out calamari, breaded chicken breast and delicious lamb with potatoes and salad. Everything was honestly delicious!! I live in Florida; land of fresh seafood, yet this calamari was some of the best I've ever had. The lamb was also melt in your mouth good. We were so pleasantly surprised with our visit here. If you ever find yourself in La Carolina, stop here!

You know the situation is dire when I check in at McDonalds. Seriously. I haven't been to one of…read morethese "restaurants" in more than a decade. It became pretty clear to me that there is good reason for that. Once upon a time I actually enjoyed a meal here. That stopped in the US long ago and while we've been in Europe I was surprised to see so many of the Golden Arches all over the place. Out of sheer desperation and hunger I decided to pop in here last night to grab a quick bite. Well, as it happens, that was not to be. My only sandwich choice once upon a time was the Filet o Fish. That is no longer on the menu. Oops, ok so it's been awhile. Just give me a large fries and a chocolate shake. Hmm, what? You no longer have chocolate shakes either? What good is this place? Seriously. The fries (the only thing left on the menu for me) were tasteless but at least they were hot. Enough salt and ketchup and they were even edible. Not so for the rest of the food on their menu based on looks alone. I certainly had no interest in sampling the remainder of their disgusting looking selections. The things they do to fries these days, eeek! No thanks. I suspect it will be much longer than a decade before I try this again, maybe never.
