First Meal in Miami Was a Mistake (Best One Though)

We landed safely in Miami from Newark, with a few hiccups but mostly smooth sailing! ✈️ 🚗 Our Welcome Pickups driver made the airport transfer effortless. 💰 Uber was a total win — reliable and nearly 10x cheaper than a taxi. 🍷 But the true highlight? Our dinner at Xixón, a beautiful Spanish restaurant in Miami, where we enjoyed a Mediterranean-style, heart-conscious feast: ✅ Crema de Calabaza — roasted pumpkin + truffle soup, warm and velvety ✅ Escalivada — roasted eggplant, peppers, and onions with EVOO and vinegar ✅ Setas Silvestres — wild mushrooms sautéed in olive oil ✅ Espinacas Salteadas — garlicky sautéed spinach ✅ Ensalada Mixta — a fresh, balanced Spanish salad ✅ Callos y Patitas de Cerdo a la Madrileña — tripe and pig’s feet, classic and deeply flavorful We customized this meal to keep it cholesterol-conscious but still authentic — the perfect start to our 11-day vacation. #MiamiTravel #XixonMiami #SpanishFood #MediterraneanEats #HeartHealthyMeals #TravelVlog2025 #WelcomePickups #UberVsTaxi #HealthyTravel #SpanishCuisine #CallosMadridStyle If you want to recreate the same experience as we did, you can check out our guide here. https://plannin.com/en/guide/36496835-363f-464e-ae91-770f0c972ff6
