Spain 2026

A sailing and the coast either side of it. These are the dishes worth chasing down afterwards — written up from the table, then cooked again at home until they were right.

Aboard the Scarlet Lady

Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady runs proper restaurants rather than a buffet, and three of them were worth taking notes on.

On land

Off the ship — the ports along the way and the cities either side of the sailing. Market halls, counters and grills, and each recipe carries where it came from.
