What Are Tapas?
The Spanish small plates are ideal for getting lots of little bites into a meal.
Telluride Sleighs & Wagons
This dinner-and-sleigh ride experience includes transportation to and from the town of Telluride to the historic Aldasoro family ranch. Guests are chauffeured into the heart of the ranch and treated to a Basque sheepherder's meal with dishes from the Pyrenees Mountains in Spain. The Txuleta, a Colorado beef sirloin with chimichurri sauce and roasted garlic, is one dish not to miss. You are welcome to BYOB, but no need to bring the hot cocoa, as it is part of the spread. All desserts are homemade, including the flan, the owners’ family recipe.
Solera Restaurant
Ever since opening Solera in 2001, chef-owner Goose Sorensen has regaled admirers of his Spanish-accented cuisine with dishes like the celebrated paella — ambrosial mouthfuls of fresh seafood and spheres of Spanish chorizo mingling with saffron-studded rice and fresh herbs. Bonus: On Sunday evenings, Sorensen sweetens the deal, offering a pan of paella, a meat and cheese plate, dessert and a bottle of wine for just $60 for two.
