almejas a la marinera

Tazones (Asturias), Spain

This is by far one of my favorite seafood dishes, almejas a la marinera: clams with a yummy sauce made with onions, garlic, flour, white wine, olive oil and parsley.  This little fishing village in Asturias is the perfect place to enjoy this wonderful dish.

Tazones (Asturias), Spain

One of my favorite places ever... anywhere in Asturias, but especially Tazones!

Tazones

Tazones, (Asturias) Spain

Tazones is a quaint village tucked away along the rocky northern coastline overlooking the Bay of Biscay.  With only a few more than 250 inhabitants it makes up one of 18 fishing ports in Asturias.

Boatloads of fresh seafood come in everyday, so if you're a fan, you'll love sitting at one of its wonderful restaurants to try the catch of the day accompanied by the local natural cider (sidra) and cheeses, specifically queso de Cabrales.  Time stands still when you visit this wonderful place!
