Burger Classic Wine and Food: A Journey through La Rioja

Sites in La Rioja

As I said in the previous post, this bridge we went to La Rioja. The We had a great time and we ate and drank all expectations ... or more. This is not a travel blog, but this trip has focused on the food and that's what I want to share with you all.

On Friday we stayed in a village called Ezcaray, on the recommendation of some friends went to "Hotel Echaurren" porder and now I want to be me who recommends it. A wonderful hotel, a three star not so much for the room but for everything that goes with it. A friendly atmosphere with a living room with fireplace and blankets for guests (imagine taking a glass of wine by the fireplace and covered with a blanket treatment ...), so nice of the staff who greeted us with a sweet wine of welcome and three fantastic restaurants. The "Echaurren Tradition was the one who chose to dine. We ordered a Jamoncito of seconds an incoming and Braised Beef Tenderloin with Roasted juice, pan fries and applesauce that removed the chops sense and a lamb with baked potatoes and oil to shoot I recommend!

Hotel Echaurren - Ezcaray

The next day we to Logroño, but not before a visit to Haro. Where we visited, among others, the new winery "Martinez-Lacuesta" , Luis, a member of the third generation of Martinez-Lacuesta, was the one who taught us and encouraged us to try different wines and vermouth, accompanying with a bit of ham, sausage and morcillita of villages ... A marvel! We

Logroño, we stayed at the "Hotel Condes de Haro" , another three star hotel with an impressive room right next to the famous Laurel Street. Where we set our night operations center. Foster and cover for 2.50 €! I recommend these sites, which were our choice, and their usual tapas, some very simple, but we have proof:

• Pata Negra: Specialty bocatitas ham, the delicious ham and cheese baked nipple.
• La Gota de Vino: Zorropitos Spectacular! Flea with ham, cheese, bacon / pork loin and aioli sauce suavitas, suavitas.
• The Broken: Bocatines with super soft bread stuffed with scrambled eggs with whatever you want ... Notice, are to go to sleep later!
• Angel and Soriano (two): A champis with prawns and a sauce ... mmmm!!
• Torrecilla: This time pastor had crumbs huevito quail ... but peppers stuffed with cod ... Death! Mesón
• Grandfather: Yes, it Logroño, but sepia!

Here I put a picture of only two spikes to which I had time to take a picture, they were sooo rich, who could not wait!

Sepia and Champis

the last day and after visiting San Millán de la Cogolla and monasteries Suso and Yuso. We went to eat at another restaurant that we had recommended and a craving since we had said in a letter trotters! The "Restaurante los Caballeros" , we loved, exquisite and delicious food. Jamoncito ate sausage and scrambled eggs (Burgos) first and chops again (they are so good) and pig's feet to the Rioja, second. Wonderful! Delicious!! All this, of course, washed down with a good Rioja and a cheesecake with honey and nuts to finish ... Death!

A great big kiss!

NASA PREPARES THE GREAT STORM SHIELD

believes that NASA can take steps to protect solar storms . This type of event, during which a shower of high energy particles hit our planet causing outages and all kinds of electrical disturbances could be provided with sufficient time to take steps to minimize their effects. A warning system consisting of the SOHO spacecraft and NASA's twin STEREO allow us to make a 3D model the phenomenon and off-critical systems before they are affected.

Statistics show that occurs every hundred years a solar storm powerful enough to stain the skies of Earth with stunning blood-red auroras. Unfortunately, this type of phenomenon is not limited to producing scary visual spectacles, but affects the operation of compasses and satellite outage occurs, it interferes with telecommunications networks, affecting nearly all electronic equipment that our civilization uses every day.

Fortunately, most solar storms are not large enough to cause effects "to Hollywood," but some of them could really get us into trouble.

A report issued by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States in 2008 warned that if a solar storm " important "were to occur in the present, we would experience widespread power outages, and even be damaged many of the main transformers used in power distribution networks supply. To avoid this, NASA is working on a project called "Sun Shield" ("Solar Shield"), to alert the electricity distribution companies about the possibility of such an event in time to perform preventive disconnection of their systems.

According Antti Pulkkinen, a researcher at the Catholic University of America who work at Goddard Space Flight Center of NASA, "Solar Shield is a security system, new and experimental applied to the distribution network North American Electric. We believe it can be useful for specific processors time off from predicting which of them could be affected by solar storms. "

The cause of the malfunction of electrical networks during these events has its origin in a effect known as GIC (Geomagnetically Induced Current "or" geomagnetically induced current). When the cloud of solar particles generated during a storm hits the Earth's magnetic field makes it begins to "tremble." These vibrations induce magnetic currents in all regions of the atmosphere, overloading circuits, switches and, in extreme cases, melting the coils of the transformers.

Pulkkinen says that "Sun Shield" is now an experimental system that has never been tested during a geomagnetic storm real. Several distribution companies have installed monitors at key locations of their networks to support the NASA team in their predictions. As in recent years solar activity has been small and only a few storms have been relatively slightly over the past year, the system has not been thoroughly tested. "We wish more energy-related companies from joining our research team," says Pulkkinen. "The more data we get, the quicker we can try and improve Solar Shield." The next peak of solar storms, which have a periodicity of approximately 11 years is expected sometime in 2012 or 2013 , so that implementation of this project may be crucial.
