Manzanillas is an ode to the simple, delicious Spanish olive. One of my favorite things about Spain is the slower pace, and the value of connection with people over a coffee, Fanta, or cold beer in a local cafe. I can hear the metal chairs scraping on the ground as you settle into your spot. People watching, a breeze, good conversation, and a drink in hand: it doesn’t get any better. And when you get a non-coffee drink, you usually get a small bowl of olives or potato chips on the side for free to accompany your drink. Oily, buttery little olives are a delicious accompaniment to a cold drink and conversation on a hot summer day.
You can get these in the US, but nothing compares to the whole experience in Spain. But getting this painting and hanging it in a place where you can enjoy a cold drink and a small bowl of olives with a friend just might come close.
