Summer is almost here. The city where I live now, Lleida, hasn’t sea, but I come from a town of Valencia, very close to the Mediterranean Sea. I long for my country weather all the year, but when winter goes, I’m too much far from the sea. Nevertheless, I never liked to go to the beach to swim.

Last week I discovered frozen cockles at supermarket. They were “tellines”, the same type of cockles that we used to eat as appetizer when summer comes.

I love tellines. This is a good summer beginning.
