Spanish tortilla

Today we had our first tortilla of this trip. It’s what we had for breakfast in a bar between Portugalete and La Arena. A Spanish tortilla is not like a US/Mexico/New Mexico tortilla. A Spanish tortilla is sometimes described as an omelette. It’s made from eggs and potatoes and onions. A bit firmer/thicker than an omelette. The one we had this morning also had ham and cheese. Quite yummy with the good bread you get here. Holly, I know how much you liked these when you did the Camino. Thought of you.

  1. I still fondly remember having tortilla espanola many years ago. Going back to Spain is on my to do list.

    1. It took me a while to warm up to Spanish tortillas, and asking them to warm them up was one of things that helped. They have lots of variations now, like this one with cheese and ham. We like to order fried eggs and toast but small or busy places don’t like to do that. But they often have a sandwich of a fried egg and ham on toast.
