No. 40 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in 𝗲𝗿í𝗮: MILANESERÍA

Preparing food in a Milanese style (from Milan, Italy) involves pan-frying thin slices of meat that have been dipped in a light batter and breadcrumbs. In Spanish, "milanesa" refers to this style and also means "cutlet", so a "milanesería" is a restaurant specializing in serving cutlets and Milanese style food.

In this restaurant in the Roma Norte colonia of Mexico City, their "mascots" were Mila the chicken, and Nesa, the cow. Quite clever! The food was delish.

My first #footpathfriday post.

Hiking down from L’Observatori Fabra on Tibidabo in Barcelona. The trail down from the observatory winds its way through a nice mix of vegetation and great views of the city.

I highly recommend visiting the historic Fabra Observatory and doing the tour next time you're in Barcelona!

No. 38 in my photo collection of signs of unique Spanish-language business names ending in 𝗲𝗿í𝗮: CUPCAKERÍA

In Spanish, the 𝗲𝗿í𝗮 suffix can be added to just about any word to indicate what's made or sold at a business, and that includes tacking 𝗲𝗿í𝗮 onto what is clearly a non-Spanish word like "cupcake." It still works!

"6 Times Horizon" by Antony Gormley embedded in the ground at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh.

This is by the same artist who created the sculpture in Rotterdam shown in my previous post. It wasn't until just a few days ago that I realized I had photographed two works of art from the same artist in two different cities and three years apart.
