This is about spending a few winter days in the Hague tasting cheese. My two grown up kids live in The Hague where they are both studying Fine Arts.
The Hague reminds me of Copenhagen in Denmark, where I lived for many years.
If you travel to The Netherlands, you must go visit The Hague, which is quite different from Amsterdam. The Hague is calm and beautiful, and there are only a few tourists especially during the winter.
There are nice food shopping options. Visit the organic supermarkets called Ekoplaza, and best of all; the cheese shop called Ed Boele in Fahrenheitstraat!! For many years this shop won a price of being the best cheese shop in the Netherlands.
See picture from the shop.
Like many summers before I also spent this summer in Frigiliana in my Andalusian home situated in the old part of this small white village. Maybe you visited Frigiliana once? You would know then that the old part of the town is from the time the Moors were there. The final battle between the Christians and the Moors took place exactly in Frigiliana. Today the city is a cultural centre for Andalusia, and it’s proud of it’s heritage. Everywhere in the old town one sees art and symbols that let crosses, david stars and crescents merge as a picture of the multicultural background.
Just a few words about deep frying fish and veggies while working in an outdoor kitchen. When we’re in Andalusia we’re preparing most of our meals outside using the barbecue and the deep-fryer.
