Friday Night Dinner: Camino Victoria
Camino Victoria is a fairly newly opened tapas place in one of the various new developments on, or near, Victoria Street. It was a nice warm evening, and lots of people were outside enjoying some food and drinks. If you're not near Victoria, they also have four other branches in London.
We sat inside in the comfortable seating room, and started ordering our dishes.
We went for the traditional tapas: Padron Peppers, some were hot and spicy, and some were sweet and mellow; Tortilla de Patatas, which had a lovely gooey centre; Patatas Bravas, with a pleasant spicy ketchup sauce; Croquetas, with its cheesy centre; Arroz Negro, a cuttlefish black rice, with squid ink; and Talos De Chorizo, soft mini tortillas, with minced chorizo, butternut squash, and some yoghurt.
There were three talos in the serving, but you can upgrade to have a fourth one — excellent when you're sharing with two, and frankly something that should be available for every sharing dish, when the number provided do not divide between the size of the party.
With our dinner, we also enjoyed a bottle of a really lovely cava, because we felt like it and it was Friday.
We were in the mood for some dessert, and shared a couple of chocolate truffles to finish our meal.
All the tapas were tasty and well presented, but not absolutely outstanding. For that, you'll probably have to head to Spain, and visit a really good tapas place — we've had bad tapas in Spain too! But if you'd like a taste of Spain in London, then Camino Victoria will do just fine.

I saw a Kingfisher fishing yesterday!
It's not a great photo, but it was great seeing it using the branch as a perch for fishing.

@beasts Is your ns1 doing OK? I am getting warning from monitoring that it is timing out and having different results than ns2.

I consider myself a decent photographer, but then you find out about the likes of Angel Fux (https://www.angelfux.com/portfolio), and I would like to crawl into a hole.

After two busy days doing elections stuff, I spent yesterday looking at birds, in a nature reserve to relax and recharge.
I saw some cracking birds, with these being my favourite shots.
