Seagulls in port seen from ship in Malaga

Gabbiani in porto visti dalla nave a Malaga

Seagulls in port seen from the ship in Malaga.
In all my life as a sailor, despite having docked there many times, I have never disembarked to visit the city of Malaga.
In fact, in the first years at sea, every time I was in port there, some unfortunate event always happened and I started not to go out and continued to do so over the years out of superstition.
Even though it is a beautiful city, I know, as a good sailor, not to go out.
However, from the top of the ship, I took several photos like this one which portrays a very long row of seagulls on a retaining wall of the port.

Do you know Malaga, the beautiful Spanish city?

Gulls (Larinae Rafinesque, 1815) are a subfamily of larid seabirds of the order Charadriiformes. The main genus of this subfamily is Larus. They usually live in colonies, nesting along the coasts or in wetlands and inland waters. They feed on: fish, eggs, small carrion, scraps and also waste produced by man, insects and worms.

Cheese Focaccia, not in Recco

Focaccia al formaggio

Cheese focaccia, not in Recco.
Obviously the best and most famous cheese focaccia is the one eaten in Recco (and surrounding areas) but in many parts of Liguria you can find excellent ones.
This one, for example, is the very good one from Due Gabbiani in Casarza Ligure.

Focaccia al formaggio

It is a DOP and there is even a consortium that defends its name: focacciadirecco.it. The one in the photo, very good for me (even if I don't think it is DOP) is the one from the pizzeria iduegabbiani.it in Sestri Levante.

Focaccia with cheese (sometimes but improperly focaccia al formaggio), in Genoese a fugassa cö formaggio, is a type of stuffed focaccia typical of Liguria and Oltregiogo. Focaccia with cheese exists in numerous versions, with surface fillings that include either just cheese (of various types, sometimes mixed together), or other ingredients (cheese and cooked ham, cheese and würstel, speck and fontina, etc.). The ingredients include flour, extra virgin olive oil, and obviously the chosen cheese, which is placed on top of the dough before putting it in the oven.
