Ciao tutti. Sono ritornata da Bologna e mi e piaciuto moltisimo il viaggio :) E una citta molta bella :) Seriously worth the visit. It is a beautiful city filled with "porticos" (shaded sidewalks), churches, towers, plazas and canals. Oh, and let's not forget the food! I was in heaven! Bologna is the birth city of Bolognese sauce and bolognese lasagna and, as I quickly discovered, Tortellini and Tortelloni. AMAZING! Tortelloni are the big ones and tortellini the tiny ones. They are quite expensive as well; no wonder, they are hand made!
Here is a glimpse of the city:

| Back of the Cathedral San Petronio |

| One of the canals |
And now, the best part, some food:
 |
| Linguine con zucchini e frutti di mare |
 |
| Tortellini alla bolognese |
 |
| Melanzane alla parmigiana e polenta frita |
 |
| Pizza di verdure e patate |
and even better. Pure heaven:
 |
| Tortellini, tortelloni di zucca, di ricotta e spinaci, di speck... |
I brought back some pancetta (it's like the one we have in Canada!!!!!!), coppa, tortelloni di spinaci e ricotta, tortellini bolognese, pecorino romano, provolone... my suitcase was going to bust! David was laughing so hard at me when he actually picked it up lol. I love the no duty european travel :) You can bring back meat and cheeses :) Since Montreal is filled with Italian products and Spain is not, I was in heaven and stocked up on the stuff I can never bring back to Madrid. I really have to plan at least an Italian trip each year minimum.
Now, I seriously need to get those extra pounds off from all that wonderful food I had :)
