The good weather arrives in Tarifa and brought us last 9th of May, the last ”ronqueo” of the season in BiBo Tarifa.
Our chef, Dani García, together with Gadira, gave us the opportunity to enjoy the most representative tradition of the almardraba season.
This evening, not only offered a session on the cutting of the tuna, but we could also enjoy a menu designed for the occasion.
Chef Dani García, explained to the audience his unique vision of how to transform tuna cuts into exquisite dishes that delight the senses.
Gadira, for his part, brought his knowledge of the exceptional quality of bluefin tuna. An iconic product that is prized for its incomparable flavour and texture.
Those attending the event not only enjoyed a delicious dinner, but also came away with a new appreciation for the art of ronqueo and a deep respect for the fishermen and chefs who work tirelessly to offer the best of Spanish gastronomy.
BiBo Tarifa provided the perfect setting for this unique experience. With its casual style and focus on haute cuisine, the restaurant served as the ideal setting for this event.

February, known as the month of love, awakens excitement and anticipation in many hearts as they prepare to celebrate Valentine’s Day. This month, marked by the color red and the symbolism of hearts, is a special time for people to express their sincerest feelings towards those they love.
Valentine’s Day, on February 14th, is a celebration with roots in history and tradition. It is said that St. Valentine was a martyr who defied the orders of the Roman emperor Claudius II, who prohibited the marriages of young soldiers to maintain their loyalty in war. Valentine, in an act of courage and love, continued performing marriages in secret, leading to his imprisonment and execution. His sacrifice and dedication to true love made him the patron saint of lovers.
In modern times, February transforms into a canvas of romanticism. Couples exchange cards with heartfelt messages, and flowers and chocolates are given as symbols of affection. Streets are filled with shades of red and pink, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere that envelops everyone.
Valentine’s Day is not limited to romantic couples only; it’s an opportunity to express love and gratitude towards friends and family. Genuine friendships and family ties are also celebrated in this month dedicated to affection. Many choose to organize special dinners, share meaningful moments, or simply remember those who hold a special place in their lives.
February, the month of love, is not just about material gestures but also about cultivating deeper emotional connections. It’s a time to reflect on the meaning of love in all its forms and to remember that empathy and mutual appreciation are essential for building lasting relationships.
As the calendar progresses towards Valentine’s Day, February becomes a tangible reminder that love, in its various manifestations, is a precious gift that deserves to be celebrated and nurtured throughout the year.

The return to normality after the summer holidays marks the beginning of a gradual transition from relaxation and rest to daily routine and responsibilities. After enjoying moments of leisure, travel and disconnection, it is natural to experience a sense of adjustment as you return to everyday life.
This stage can generate mixed feelings. On the one hand, there is nostalgia for holiday days, where time seemed to stretch out and worries were put on the back burner. On the other hand, the return to routine brings with it a renewed sense of purpose and structure. The feeling of resuming regular activities can be comforting, providing a sense of order and normality in the midst of a constantly changing world.
It is important to approach the return to normality with a balanced mindset. Reflecting on the positive moments of the holidays and taking that revitalising energy with you can help you face the challenges that come with returning to work, school and daily obligations. Drawing on holiday experiences and learnings can enrich the way you approach your daily life.
Planning ahead is also essential. Organising schedules, setting goals and managing tasks efficiently can make it easier to adapt to the routine. In addition, maintaining a balance between work and personal time is essential to avoid burnout and allow for moments of relaxation even in the midst of routine.
The return to normality can be an opportunity to establish new healthy routines. Incorporating exercise habits, a balanced diet and time for self-care can help maintain a consistent sense of wellbeing, regardless of the time of year.
Ultimately, returning to normality after the summer holidays is a process of adjustment that involves combining the positive aspects of summer relaxation with everyday responsibilities. Maintaining a positive attitude, planning ahead and finding ways to balance routine with moments of enjoyment are key to successfully navigating this period and maintaining a sense of wellbeing throughout the year.
