This weekend 13 years ago, spontaneously I walked into Vinodiario to dine on my first night in Salamanca. I return to celebrate that anniversary every year (and multiple times in between), and this cool w**e and small plates bar has become as much a second home as Salamanca itself. Thank you Álvaro (pictured), Ricardo, Monica, Pablo for all the years of service and friendship, and here’s to many more years of happy feasting with unique w**es 🍷🍛

Whenever I pass through San Martín del Castañar in the Sierra de Salamanca w**e region, I also pass through this gap in the wall of Spain’s second oldest bull ring to check my waistline management is under control… 🤫🥩🍷⚖️ **etravel **ecountry

An eye-opening and mouth-watering night of natural w**e and creative tapas at Malauva (bad grape) in Vigo—the cool vinoteca of Josiño Martínez, former champion sommelier of Galicia—with delicacies from his especially impressive cellar of Burgundy reds and whites 🇪🇸 🍷 🇫🇷 ✨💪 Malauva W**e Bar
