  • Galicia - A Successful Marriage between the Old and the New
    Northern Spain and Galicia particularly has long been an undiscovered jewel in the whole of the Spanish tourism industry. All over Northern Spain the climate is much more moderate than the rest of the Iberian Peninsula and the autonomous regions that make up this area of the country have exactly what it takes to help visiting tourists have a good time.

    With regards to Galicia you have a region where you have a rugged coastline with extremely attractive sandy beaches whilst inland the mountainous regions provide a completely different experience for the visitor.

  • Hitachi 26LD200 - 10 out of 10 For Value for Money
    Purchasing a new TV today is an important decision. When you are spending the equivalent of what you used to spend taking the entire family on holiday several years ago it would be wise to ensure any decision made is a wise one.

    Given the way technology changes it is essential to try and make sure that your purchase is relatively future-proof.
  • A Taste of Galicia - Ensalada Marinada de Lubina, Sea Bass, Marinated
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as Chinese Food, Thai Food etc but to be honest it could be argued that with regards to Spain there is no such thing as “Spanish” food as with the make up and historical heritage of Spain it is not quite that simple.

    The Political and historical make up of Spain with the unification of its particular regions and collective cultural identities make it perfectly reasonable and logical to argue that there is no such thing really as overall Spanish cooking. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
  • A Taste of Galicia - Gazpacho de Esparragos con Huevo Pochado
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country.

  • A Taste of Galicia - Caldo Gallego, Vegetable Soup
    Somehow when you do a little research on the cuisine of an individual country it is quite easy to come up almost with a common theme, a common name for the food for that country. Such as French food, Italian food etc but with the regards to Spanish food or more accurately described as recipes that originate from the country of Spain it could be argued that it is not quite that simple.

    The Political and historical make up of Spain with the unification of its particular regions and collective cultural identities make it perfectly reasonable and logical to argue that there is no such thing really as overall Spanish cooking. There has been a slow and steady amalgamation of the autonomous regions that collectively make up modern day Spain and all have kept their own individual identities in such a way that potentially preclude any “culinary amalgamation” between them.
  • High Blood Pressure - More of an epidemic than you think?
    A staggering one in every four adults in the United Kingdom and certainly in the United States have been diagnosed as suffering from high blood pressure. The medical name for high blood pressure is Hypertension.
  • Roasted Pepper and Leek Salad with King Prawns and Quails Eggs
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as Indian Food, Chinese Food but when you refer to Spain or to put it possibly more accurately food and recipes that originate from the Country of Spain it is not that straightforward.

    The reason for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. The various autonomous regions that comprise Spain have been slowly pulled together through a variety of different processes some by force, some by choice but they all have one thing in common and that is they have kept their own individual features.
  • The Lure of Santiago de Compostela
    Spain, is a country that as has been mentioned on numerous occasions before is more than perhaps the sum of its constituent parts.

    As you travel around the country you can see glimpses of a past wealthy in the legacy of former conquerors be they the Moors, medieval Spaniards themselves or parts of the country that have Jewish and other international flavours.
  • Grilled Pilgrim Scallops
    It is quite common when you take a look at the native cuisine from any one particular country to come up with a particular theme or common approach / name for the catering or cuisine from that country. Such as Chinese Food, Thai Food etc but to be honest it could be argued that with regards to Spain there is no such thing as “Spanish” food as with the make up and historical heritage of Spain it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
  • Galician Broth – A Taste of Rural Galician Cuisine
    Quite often when you research information into the various cultures and cuisines that make up countries it is quite possible to find a common theme common name for the food of that country. Such as French food, Italian food etc but with the regards to Spanish food or more accurately described as recipes that originate from the country of Spain it could be argued that it is not quite that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. The various autonomous regions that comprise Spain have been slowly pulled together through a variety of different processes some by force, some by choice but they all have one thing in common and that is they have kept their own individual features.
  • Fresh Mussels – Galician Style
    Somehow when you do a little research on the cuisine of an individual country it is quite easy to come up almost with a common theme, a common name for the food for that country. Such as English food, German food but when you consider Spanish food or if you wish to be a bit more accurate about how you look at it, food and recipes that originate from Spain there is a very convincing argument that would say it's not that simple.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
  • Octopus “a la mugardesa” - a Seafood Dish from Galicia
    A huge octopus, a giant squid. Guaranteed to put the fear of god into most deep sea travellers and fishermen (and those of us who aren’t also), but funnily enough they are also quite a delicacy when prepared properly and that is the purpose of this article about a dish from North Western Spain or more specifically Galicia.

    It is usually possible whenever you stopped to research information about different countries cultures queasiness and general background for you to come off with a common theme or a common name that would relate to that country's cuisine. Such as English food, German food but when you consider Spanish food or if you wish to be a bit more accurate about how you look at it, food and recipes that originate from Spain there is a very convincing argument that would say it's not that simple.
  • Beef Recipes - Galician Beef Sirloin
    Today we are going to look at a very traditional dish from the North Western corner of Spain, Galician Beef Sirloin.

    Most authorities tend to take the view point that as life in Galicia is heavily influenced by the sea that the only recipes worth taking note about are the seafood dishes so this recipe is at least part of the argument that proves that to be just yet another travel myth.
  • Fried Milk Fritters for Galicia
    Spanish food has always been heavily regionally based and the reason for this lies with the history of the country and the make up of the regions themselves. This has lead on several occasions to the belief that there is no such thing technically as pure “Spanish cooking”.

    The reason for this is that you could quite easily argue that technically there is no such thing as Spanish food and the reason being for this is that Spain is an amalgam of its constituent parts that is to say it could be described as a political construct which is made up of disparate groups with their own languages, cultures, cuisines etc. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
  • Try some Galician Bread with Raisins
    Somehow when you do a little research on the cuisine of an individual country it is quite easy to come up almost with a common theme, a common name for the food for that country. Such as English food, German food but when you consider Spanish food or if you wish to be a bit more accurate about how you look at it, food and recipes that originate from Spain there is a very convincing argument that would say it's not that simple.

    The relatively recent unification of Spain as a single political entity is really the main driving force that lies behind this theory as the country is an amalgamation of the various autonomous regions that lie within it. These autonomous regions have been slowly amalgamated through a number of different processes throughout history but have all kept their own distinctive features.
  • Try a Glorious Empanada with a Tuna Filling
    Today we are going to take a look at an Empanada, a Galician Flat Pie but in this case we are going to add a Tuna filling to it.

    The thing about an empanada is that once you have got the concept just right and you've managed to get the texture and the flour correct for the crust then you can add almost anything to it that you like. It really is one of the most versatile things going and is as it was originally designed, a meal in itself.
  • Taste an Empanada with Pork Filling
    I have written several articles on the empanada. Basically these articles all said the same thing about how it is really a meal in itself and you can add a multitude of filling. Well today the filling we are going to look at is a fairly basic pork recipe that actually is delicious.

    So the ingredients we would need would be as follows:

  • Discovering Undiscovered Spain and Galicia
    Northern Spain and Galicia particularly has long been an undiscovered jewel in the whole of the Spanish tourism industry. Whereas elsewhere in the Iberian Peninsula the climate can be quite continental and extreme, in the northwest and on the coast the climate is as you would expect much milder and more of a maritime nature.

    With regards to Galicia you have a region where you have a rugged coastline with extremely attractive sandy beaches whilst inland the mountainous regions provide a completely different experience for the visitor.

  • Why buy a property in Spain?
    Well to paraphrase a very well known British comedienne in a spoof chat show “as you stood up and huddled in the bus shelter in the cold wind with the rain lashing down across the road what exactly was it about the sun drenched landscapes and climate of Spain that first appealed to you?”

    We've all had this dream off buying a retirement or an investment property in the sun. Somewhere where we would be able to take out our savings that we've managed to salt away and invest them in a little property somewhere where the sun never fails to shine and we all live happily ever after.
  • Deportivo La Corunna – Let’s hear it for the little guys!
    When you consider the multi-billion-dollar world that International Soccer has become in the last five to 10 years there is something rather refreshing about a small regional club gaining success on a national basis especially when you gain this success at the expense of some of the much larger supposedly more glamorous and probably more indebted competition.

    Such is the case in Spain with the recent emergence within the last five to 10 years of Deportivo la Corunna as a team to be reckoned with within La Liga. Especially when this success is gained at the expense of La Liga’s (and Europe’s) most glamorous twosome, Barcelona FC and Real Madrid FC.
  • Galicia within the Spain of Today
    The Spain of today is very much an amalgam of the unification of a whole series of autonomous regions whose inheritance is quite wealthy and varied.

    The inheritance left behind by previous invaders and conquerors such as the Moors, medieval Spaniards themselves or Jewish and other international communities is wealthy and varied.
  • Galicia and its Connections to the Greater Celtic Community Worldwide.
    They say there is nothing worse than a homesick Celt a long way from home or a bunch of Celts on a mission if they feel that culture is under threat.

    I can talk about those issues above with a degree of the impunity being a fully paid up “Celt” myself being half welsh and half Scottish.
  • A whistle-stop Guide to the Way of St James
    The patron saint of Spain, St James, is one of the most revered figures in Spain. Probably the most revered male figure, coming in second behind Mary and if truth be known probably a good way ahead of Christ.

    For those amongst us who are possibly not biblical scholars then St. James was the son of Zebedee. St James was also a disciple and a fisherman who gave up his fishing nets to follow Christ. His mother was Salome and his brother was the Apostle John. With me so far?
  • A Historical Look at Corunna
    It was once said that if you have ever visited Galicia to go to Santiago de Compostela and thought of leaving without seeing Corunna you were making a massive mistake.
  • Try Something Different - Try Galicia
    Northern Spain and Galicia particularly has long been an undiscovered jewel in the whole of the Spanish tourism industry. Whereas elsewhere in the Iberian Peninsula the climate can be quite continental and extreme, in the northwest and on the coast the climate is as you would expect much milder and more of a maritime nature.

  • Visit Galicia - Explore Some of the Treasures of Southern Galicia
    Ask most people what they actually know about Galicia and the majority will probably look at you slightly quizzically and then move on to another topic. Those that do know anything about Galicia will probably have a knowledge particularly based around the goings-on or happenings at Santiago de Compostela.

  • Top places to see in Tuscany
    The Tuscany region of west northwest Italy or “Chianti shire” as it is sometimes described is one of those in areas where it is extremely hard to put together a top 10 of any form of tourism highlights.

    Where on earth would you start? Possibly, Florence I suppose.
  • Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela
    here are very few countries that offer the variety of attractions and culture that Spain has to offer.As a country that still has great inter regional “differences of opinion” - euphemism here for cultural differences and in some cases acts of terrorism, Spain still has a tremendous amount to offer.

    The countryside is rich in the heritage of a great many influences from both international and internal sources
  • Reasons to Fall in love with Paris.
    Paris is one of those places you never forget. From having spent some time there as a young student on holiday the memories are quite vivid and long-lasting.

    From being a typical student and partying too hard with the resultant monumental hangover and trying to recover on the steps of Sacre-Coeur. Spending time in quiet reflection at such locations as the “Jeu de Paume.” Trying to get your head around the weirdness and wackiness of the likes of Dali, Magritte and Picasso after having savoured the serenity And peace of the likes of Monet and Camille Pissarro.
  • High Blood Pressure - Understanding the Basics.
    The Phrase High Blood Pressure conjures up a variety of things to all people.In medical terms, hypertension refers to high blood pressure, regardless of the cause.

  • Travel in Galicia - Following the Camino de Santiago
    Few Countries offer more choice to the visitor than Spain, an enigmatic country, a hybrid of many regions. Spain has so many strong competing regional identities that come together to provide such a vibrant country.

    As you travel around the country you see glimpses over past rich in the heritage of former conquerors be they the Moors, medieval Spaniards themselves or parts of the country that have Jewish and other international flavours.
  • A Guide to Using Stock Photos Correctly
    OK, hands up those of us who have not at any one time in your career as a Web Master or designer not used the odd pinched photo or image ripped off from someone else’s website.?
  • Visit glorious Madrid.
    Madrid as a capital city of a rapidly emerging and highly influential partner within the European Community deserves respect.
  • Journeying along El Camino de Santiago

  • Crossing Spain on Historic Pilgrimage Route’s, The Way of St James
    Spain, is a country that as has been mentioned on numerous occasions before is more than perhaps the sum of its constituent parts.
  • Eeks! Beware Attack of the Low Cost Carriers
    OK folks, sit up in the back row and pay attention. Hands up those who reckon they can name more than four Low Cost Carriers or (as we more commonly refer to them as) Budget Airlines in Europe?

    “Whaaat! There’s more than two?” I hear you scream.
  • Is Growth Hormone The First True Anti-Aging Medication?
    Whether we like it or not it is a fact that we are all going to old sometime? Whether you try to hide it with cosmetics, exercise whatever, you can't reverse time. Or can you?

    It is a fact with the current “baby boomer” generation approaching their mid 50s and early 60s that the numbers of elderly Westerners are substantially increasing. This is having a knock on effect in a number of social areas but none more so marked than in health.
  • A Background Look at Human Growth Hormone
    Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a protein Hormone secreted by the pituitary gland which stimulates growth and cell reproduction. Sometimes referred to as straight Growth Hormone (GH) the terms can be a little confusing for the uninitiated.
  • Long Live the Independence of the Blogosphere.
    It is often said that the best time to buy a computer is usually six months after you have bought it and are comfortable with its specifications and have now managed to grow into making the damn thing almost nigh on obsolete.
  • Linking Your Way to Success
    Build it and they will come. OK, great sounds terrific in a Hollywood Blockbuster but in the real world life is actually a little different.

    In other words, results have to be a bit more immediate, for example:
  • Menopause and High Blood Pressure
    It has often been said that High Blood Pressure is very much an equal opportunity disease and condition in that it is just as likely to affect women as it is men.

    The surprising nature of High Blood Pressure and it’s affect on women is that three out of very four women with high blood pressure are aware of the fact that they have it but research has shown that less than one out of every three women are making any attempt to control their high blood pressure.
  • High Blood Pressure and Salt, What is the Big Deal?
    Sodium Chloride (the chemical name for Salt, the culinary cooking condiment not the International Treaty on Weapons limitation) is an essential element in the life of human beings. Most people think of Salt purely in terms of that little white food seasoning found in shakers on virtually very food table the world over.Just how essential is it however?
  • Beware Bank Robbers on the horizon
    I have a client who at this time of year has financial problems. Christmas tends to encourage more expenditure than is good for you.. Christmas tends to leave all of us with bills at the end of the day that we would rather not have.

    It is usually at this moment in time when we are in need that the Banks make a killing trying to offer us even more money, offering us deals left right and centre to help us smooth our way out of debt into even more debt (if the truth and the small print be known).
  • High Blood Pressure Diet and Vitamins
    2005, the year the worlds fascination with taking Multivitamins died? Sounds controversial I know and may be a slight exaggeration but actually it is not too far from the truth. 2005 and latterly 2006 have not been good years if you happened to be in the Multivitamin Business as not one but a whole series of reports emerged from one Scientific Research Establishment after another about the apparent uselessness of taking mass amounts of Multivitamins as forms of dietary supplements to aid and support a poor dietary regime.

    When you look at it objectively, the daily vitamin pill is no substitute for a well structured and put together diet but as we all know, none of us are perfect when it comes to a healthy intake and sensible eating.
  • Abuse of Bank Charges, is this Legalised Robbery?
    I have a client who at this time of year has financial problems. There is nothing new in that, if the truth be told, the majority of us are all slightly short at this time of year. Christmas after all is the one time of the year where the majority of us are driven to heights of financial excess that very few of us can afford and the more than a few of us find difficult to get out of.
  • The Side Effects of taking ACE Inhibitors for High Blood Pressure
    All forms of medication have downsides if we are really being honest with ourselves. High Blood Pressure Medicine is no different. To be honest as I have covered in other articles with regards to medicine for High Blood Pressure it is very much a case of the lesser of two evils or “damned if you do, damned if you don’t.”
  • The Effects of High Blood Pressure and the side effects of High Blood Pressure Medicine.
    There is no disguising the fact and it is certainly one that should not be denied but there are considerable side effects of both having High Blood Pressure (and these can be lethal) and also considerable side effects of High Blood Pressure Medicine as well.
  • Erectile Dysfunction is it all in the mind or is it a symptom of something else?
    Erectile Dysfunction, a phrase guaranteed to strike fear into the vast majority of men (and women too if surveys are to be believed) is the one thing that nine times out of ten can cause deep long lasting psychological scars if not treated carefully and properly.
  • High Blood Pressure, it could be all in the eyes?
    Even if you think you have 20/20 vision (and especially if you work with Computer screens and Monitors on a daily basis). An eye examination can pick up treatable conditions and deal with them as well as providing an opportunity to spot subtle changes that can be the forerunners of much more dangerous conditions such as High Blood Pressure.
  • Money can’t always buy you Good Health. Taking a view on High Blood Pressure
    In the overall scheme of things you have to put being given a diagnosis of High Blood Pressure into perspective. On the scale of being told you have terminal and potentially fatal illness High Blood Pressure has to be looked at in the right way.
  • Dealing with Stress Related High Blood Pressure
    “Everyone needs some stress. It is what makes us get up in the morning and do the things we do. It makes us achieve things and get from A to B and in doing so our Blood Pressure has to rise – it is part of the normal way of things”.
  • High Blood Pressure an Equal Opportunity Condition
    At the risk of sounding sarcastic and being hounded by the feminist lobby – High Blood Pressure is what they call an “Equal Opportunity Disease” and by that I mean that it does exactly what the description says – it can hit anyone of any gender at any one time!
  • A Couple of Ways to Get the Best from Your Credit Cards This Christmas
    A couple of basic ways to help you stretch that already limited budget this Christmas without leaving you with financial indigestion after the Festive Season is over.
  • International Adoption and Guatemala
    Guatemala is one of the most controversial subjects in the world of International Adoption today. Not wishing to add further to the controversy, it is just that adopting a child from Guatemala today can be a little tricky unless you know what you are doing.
  • Beware Credit Card Thieves on the Horizon!
    No this is not a seasonal warning about thieves and pick-pockets (well certainly not the usual variety) but rather a heads up about the annual onslaught of direct mail from those glorious companies who have our welfare dearest to their hearts, the Worlds Credit Card Companies!
  • Want to lower your High Blood Pressure? Get yourself a dog!
    Pssst, want to positively do something about your High Blood Pressure? Get yourself a pooch and walk it!
  • Coffee, Good or Bad for the Blood Pressure?
    Caffeine, Good or Bad for the Blood Pressure? This is another one of those “is it or isn’t it” issues that probably by and large depends on a whole variety of associated issues but as it is one of the most regular of all of our queries I thought I would go ahead and try and provide some form of opinion.
  • The Real State of the Economy – Good or bad?
    There is something about the US Economy at the moment that I for one don’t get. Now it may be that being a brit, I am a little slow on the uptake; this has been known to happen every now and then but at the moment I cannot fathom several things out.
  • High Blood Pressure can be controlled
    It is very easy to come out of you Doctors Surgery (or Healthcare Practitioners Surgery) after you have been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure and admit defeat totally.

    It is the easiest option to take, to just sit back and say to yourself “OK, I’ll have to come to terms with the pills then” but why should you when with a little bit of effort you can control this condition that you have?
  • Stress is Not Just For Adults
    Stress is not just for adults. Stop everything you are doing and think upon this one fact if you read nothing else of this article.

    Let me repeat it. Stress is not just for Adults! Kids are getting it too and this is really worrying if you follow this concept through to its natural conclusion. The knock on effects of this and the side effects of this could damage generations to come.
  • Heart Attack – we all know the term, but what exactly is a Heart Attack?
    It has possibly been described as THE disease of the 20th Century and is certainly the one of the Century’s biggest killers but what exactly is Heart Disease and what exactly is a Heart Attack?

    As they say, what is in a name? Well in this case the most common terminology in use is as follows. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is (as the name suggests) the Disease of the Coronary Arteries. Ischaemic Heart Disease or IHD is a narrowing of the blood vessels resulting in Ischaemia, which is a lack of blood supply to the Heart Muscle.
  • Collecting Antiques – The Peoples Art Part 2
    In part one of this series of articles we discussed the growth in the marketability of antique brand images and how the apparent extinction of the brand itself can lead to the rapid rise of the marketability of the antique value of the packaging itself.

    Posters were very much in the vanguard of this market and it is quote ironic that when you look back from the experience of hindsight to see such names that have been involved in this type of commercial enterprise it would appear to be quite amusing.

    The use of medication as the primary form of treatment for High Blood Pressure has come on in leaps and bounds over the past fifty years and what was once a very inexact science has now become one where by and large it is very exact.
