Had a #Menorca moment in @LidlGB today, with #ensaimadas & #QuesoMahon stacked up next to Jamón Ibérico & other delights.
Sadly, no #sobrasada or @XoriguerOficial gin, but plenty of tasty reminders of #Spain & the beautiful #BalearicIslands.

Virtuoso guitarists Ignacio 'Nacho' Correa & Andrés Rey of #BatimentoDuo explore the Rio de la Plata traditions of waltz, milonga, candombe & tango, which are deeply rooted in their native #Uruguay.

It may be small but #Uruguay produces incredibly fine #wine, especially its opulent & refreshing #tannat.
Thanks to Martina Lita of @UruguayWine I had a mini-masterclass on some world class wines.

@embaniclondon @letsknownic @visitnicaragua @VapuesTravel @wanderlustmag @CATA_AgenciaCA @InturNicaragua #Granada in #Nicaragua is famed for its #vigoron, a combo of creamy yuca, crunchy chicharron & curtido (vinagary slaw) served on a leaf.
In the market, Aura Morales (La Pelona) serves the best.
Doña Aura says she never takes photos with #chelitos (foreigners), but did for me.

[LatAmTravelist @LatAmTravelist]

You don't have to fly to #LatinAmerica to enjoy the amazing flavours of #Colombia or the #DominicanRepublic.
In Elephant and Castle, La Barra de Pito serves some of the best #friedchicken in London.

The third Friday in June is "Flip Flop Day". Many of you may have a pair or two of the Rolls Royce of flip-flops, Brazil’s Havaïanas. The most popular brand in the world with over 200 million pairs being sold every year.

Happy birthday Rio de Janeiro! 457 years young today, although people have been in the area for much longer. The date relates to 1565, when the Portuguese returned to Rio on March 1 of that year to drive out the French.

Good news from #Peru - food parcels continue to be distributed to 96 porter families, helping them get through the hardship of the pandemic. And further exciting news, the community hopes to plant the one millionth tree in the Sacred Valley this month! https://t.co/YCBLkotL0R

In #Panama today they raise the flag with pride for the #FiestasPatrias, to mark 118 years as a nation.
When I was last there I hiked up #VolcanBaru, an active stratovolcano & the country's tallest mountain at 3,475 metres.
More than a canal, Panama is adventure.

#VivaPanama!
