Vincci Albayzin Hotel, Granada, Spain

I am a day or two slow at talking about this beautiful hotel in Granada, but let’s be honest here. The weather has been unusually HOT and when you are travelling, it can take it’s toll on the old body of mine.

The lobby, as with any hotel that Insight has put us in, has been top-notch. The bathrooms are all different, but with a little patience and a sense of humor, it all works out.

The breakfasts in this hotel was wonderful and we had a fabulous dinner in the hotel dining room one evening. We had musicians there for a few moments (they had two other restaurants to go to (for Insight), but you are guaranteed great meals.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating and you have nothing to worry about.

If you travel to Spain and Portugal and wish to find wonderful, clean and welcoming hotels, this should be one of them.

jojo’s cafe, Osoyoos

 

Yesterday we drove down to Osoyoos to visit our favourite Bakery and, on the way home, decided to drop in to jojo’s cafe for some lunch.

What a pleasant surprise this little gem is. The menu is on a huge blackboard on the wall – sandwiches, salads, soups, coffee, cold drinks. All fresh made when you order.

Don ordered a BLT sandwich on focaccia bread and I ordered, after a small pout, a shrimp sandwich on focaccia. (I say pout because I really wanted an egg salad sandwich but, like every restaurant in the country, it had onions in it)

The sandwiches are huge and we split our sandwiches so we each had a blt and shrimp. They were super great. Besides, we know our Bakery and they use Lake Village Bakery focaccia.

I had a coffee and I wish I had asked what kind they use. It was THE BEST coffee I have had in any etablishment in a very, very long time. I can still taste the wonderful brew (in my mind, of course).

This is a small cafe, but clean with friendly staff and a steady following. We will definitely make this a favourite spot for us.

** Note to establishments, how hard is it to set aside a couple of hard-boiled eggs so people like me can have an egg salad sandwich WITHOUT the hateful onions? Just askin’…..
