Ah Marco Polo the Croatian from Korcula,I worked for a short time in 1979 looking for shepherds in NW Sardinia.I used to stay at the hotel Sintra Estoril when I liked watching car racing. Have you ever been to Hvar ? my wife's family are fishermen and they and the restaurant owners love the Italians because they pay through their noses for Scorfano and Pulpo.I did a lot of business in Mussolente so I am happier in the north.I can see that you are quite a Globe Trotter with wings and wheels ...
Thanks for the message. Yes, I have work projects in Barcelona and Girona, and the Costa Brava towns in journalism sector.
I enjoy Mallorca, however, I truly do prefer Italia, Sardegna and The Adriatic Coast. My paternal family were natives of Milano.
I had come over to Madrid due to a professional offer I could not turn down several years ago, however, I fly over to Italia every chance I can, as it is my home and my cuisine.
Cintrano: My surname hails from SINATRA AND SINTRA, PORTUGAL; thus during the navigators; Vasco di Gama and Marco Polo spice routes and exploration of the East Indies, my name was formed. However, when my paternal Grandmom Margherite relocated over to NYC, the Immigration Officer spelt it with a C instead of a S ( Sintrano ). So, this is the history.
Have a nice day.
Kind regards.
Margi Cintrano
Nice talking to you.
