Thanks to the eruption of an Icelandic volcano, a brief visit to my old friend Edurne Pérez de Pipaón in the Basque capital of Vitoria became a lengthy and very enjoyable stay. Not only was I subjected to the finest cuisine and beautiful sites of Vitoria, but fantastic sidetrips were made to the nearby countryside and to neighboring Rioja province. Thanks Eyjafjallajökull!
