…and Barclay and I made a little video to tell you all about it! ?
This is actually our first-ever video that we’ve made together with people in it (not food, ha), so bear with us as we’re learning the ropes here. But we’ve actually been thinking that it would be fun to film some little monthly update videos while we’re living in Spain. As well as — who knows — maybe some random videos here and there just bringing you around our neighborhood with us, or going for adventures around Europe, or sharing what we’re discovering about everyday life and culture here. We’re just kind of excited to try documenting life in a new way. And this move seems like the perfect excuse to sharpen our video skillz.
So if you’re interested in following along with us, stay tuned! We’re hoping to start sharing some videos on the Life section of the blog here once or twice a month. But definitely subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you don’t miss a video. And of course, I’ll still be Instagram story-ing regularly at @gimmesomeoven (all things food) and @gimmesomeali (all things life), so you can always find me there.
More than anything, though, I just wanted to pop in and say thank you so much for all of your amazing love and encouragement during this mega transition! It’s been a roller coaster of a month getting ready for this move, but we’re feeling really ready and excited to see what this new chapter will be like. So we’re excited to bring you along with us, and send you all lots of love today from our new home in España!
HAVE TO ADMIT I HAVE ONLY HAPHAZARDLY BEEN MAKING SOME OF YOUR RECIPES..BUT NOW THAT YOU’RE IN BARCELONA–I’LL BE CHECKING THINGS OUT MORE OFTEN !!! HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO VISIT SPAIN….
Ali, I’m so excited for your big adventure! One of my sisters, that reads your blog, sent me this post/video. My husband and three kids did the same thing almost three years ago. We sold our Georgia farm and came to live in the very center of Barcelona! I too share your husbands passion for walking everywhere and he will have plenty of opportunity to do so! I would be glad to share any knowledge I have for favourite restaurants, sourcing ingredients, ect. We just moved out of Barcelona two months ago. We are now living in a small mountain town just north of Barcelona. My husband still works in Barcelona though. You don’t have to publish this…just wanted to contact you and let you know you can email me if you need to know where to find canned pumpkin and things like that!
My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Barcelona and we loved it. Although there were protests going on while we were there, they didn’t affect us at all. What you see on the news, generally, is where the problem is occurring, not the rest of the city carrying on as normal. That being said, hopefully the situation will be resolved soon, as I think it is not doing the Catalans any good tourism wise or financially. When we were there, we went to a restaurant called Abanik. It is rated number one by Trip Advisor for a reason, and I would highly recommend it. (Make a reservation, though, it’s small.) Have a wonderful time, and keep all of your readers posted on your adventures.
