Tortilla with a view of the Strait
Our tortilla de patatas story starts on board YEMAYA. It is one of the homemade tapas we serve on the Tarifa sailing trip: a familiar Spanish dish in a rather different setting.
This is a story about food on our boat. For places to eat ashore and the rest of your day, start with our Tarifa visitor guide.
With onion, please
The great tortilla debate — with onion or without, runny or set — divides households and bar counters across Spain. Our choice is with onion and a soft centre. Simple ingredients, a little patience and a cook who cares about the result.
Food is part of the welcome on board. Ask us before booking about ingredients, allergens or any dietary requirements so we can confirm what is possible.
The tortilla you remember
In the Basque Country, tortilla can be almost a religion. But for many of us the one to beat will always be our mother's: even if it was without onion, even if it was cooked quite differently from the one we make ourselves.
That is the idea behind our little Madeleine de Proust at sea. A humble slice of tortilla can bring back a kitchen, a family lunch or a place you have not visited for years. We like sharing that food alongside the sailing.
Tortilla “Boatmade” on YEMAYA
Homemade tapas and cold drinks are included in our three-hour sailing trip from Tarifa. The skipper chooses the route and anchorage according to the conditions. The boat offers the setting; the weather decides the view on the day.
If you would like the boat for your own group, compare the private charter for up to six guests. Tell us about any food requirements when you enquire, before we confirm your trip.
Come share the sea and a slice of tortilla. ¡Viva la tortilla!
