This is the official website of the basilica: santantonio.org.
To see all the photos I took in the city of the Saint click here:
The altar stands on a platform placed above seven steps. It is the work of Tiziano Aspetti (1607), and is crowned by three statues made in 1593-94: that of Saint Anthony in the center, flanked by that of Saint Bonaventure and Saint Louis of Toulouse, who were Franciscan bishops. On the parapet you can see two pairs of candle-bearing angels. The tabernacle dates back to 1742, as do the two embossed silver plate altar cards, the work of the Venetian goldsmith Andrea Fulici, which depict in bas-relief, starting from the left, the Miracle of the Severed Foot, the Apparition of Baby Jesus, the Miracle of the Mule, the Dressing of Saint Anthony and the Miracle of the Fish.

Galician scallops, the recipe. Some time ago I went to lunch in the covered market of Tenerife (first time in my life) and I tasted this dish for the first time. They are scallops au gratin and, online, I discovered that there is a Galician recipe, which I will now describe to you.
Ingredients:
– 1 clove garlic; – 1 large onion; – 1/2 cup white wine; – 1 tablespoon chopped parsley; – 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs; – 1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika – 5 tablespoons olive oil; – Salt and pepper.
Preparation:
First make sure the scallops are clean and free of any debris. If the scallops are still attached to the shell, gently separate them. Remove any membranes or inedible parts. Then sauté with oil, garlic and chopped onions; when it starts to wilt add the paprika and white wine. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for a minute. Pour the sauce over the scallops (directly in the shells) and sprinkle them with plenty of breadcrumbs; now put them in the oven, turning on only the grill. When you see that the surface begins to brown, they are ready; you can remove them from the oven and add a drizzle of dolia oil and parsley (which I don't like so I don't add it).
