A Via Crucis, or 'stations of the cross' is happening on Sunday, February 17th. This doesn´t happen every year so there will be a lot of people attending.
You can see 14 of the important fraternities that are represented in Holy Week portraying a specific scene of Jesus Christ´s life, from the moment of condemnation to crucifixion. If you are interested in participating, you can find the schedule here:

Tapas bar recommendation: Robles
Location:Calle Conteros, 12
Enjoy nices tapas in one of the most popular bar in the city
Recipe:
Today I want to recommend you an easy recipe to try since there are some students who really want to make something that doesn´t require too much experience or tools ;)
Ingredients:
•3 tbsp extra virgin Spanish olive oil
•2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
•8 eggs
•1/2 tsp. sweet Spanish paprika
•salt to taste
Preparation:
This scrambled egg recipe makes 4-6 servings.
- Rinse asparagus and cut off the woody ends. Pour enough water into a large stock pot to cover asparagus. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, place asparagus in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and drain immediately. Allow to cool a few minutes. When cool enough to touch, cut stalks into pieces.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch frying pan and sauté the garlic. Add the asparagus and salt to taste and brown.
- Beat the eggs with the paprika and pour into frying pan with garlic and asparagus. Turn heat on low. Stir the mixture until the eggs begin to cook. Allow the eggs to cook. When done, slide the “revuelto” out of the pan onto a plate to serve.
- Mushrooms and/or shrimp are popular variation to this basic “revuelto.” If you use mushrooms, halve the amount of asparagus and use about 8 oz. of mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms with garlic and asparagus.
If you want to use shrimp, halve the amount of asparagus and add about 6 oz. of cooked shrimp (41-50 count per pound).
I wish you all a wonderful Valantine's day ! ♥
