And so begins our last week in Barcelona. It’s amazing how time flies when you’re on vacation! We’re still enjoying ourselves very much and especially enjoying the delicious food we grew up eating.

We took another trip to our dad’s garden and again, we brought back tons of sweet, ripe tomatoes. And since a trip to Spain would not be complete without a good gazpacho, we used them to make a huge batch, enough to feed the entire family.

The authentic Spanish Gazpacho is a cold soup made from tomatoes, cucumbers, red bell peppers and garlic and seasoned with olive oil, vinegar and salt. As far as we’re concerned, this is the only cold soup that can be labeled “gazpacho”.

Hope you enjoy it!

    Utterly gorgeous and I bet those home-grown tomatoes make it taste even more special. I love sieved gazpacho (as opposed to chunky), though my wrists my not agree 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

      Thank you!!! Fresh tomatoes definitely make a huge difference! This recipe takes a little time to make so we usually make big batches. The problem is, it never lasts, because everyone loves it so much!! Hope you enjoy it 🙂
