Business Class

Dinner Tuna and fresh vegetables salad, "pimientos del piquillo", a slice of Manchego cheese and a chocolate-hazelnut flan style pastry as dessert. (Menu Card)

Cava (white Spanish sparkling wine), Red "Beronia" Rioja wine and sparkling water out of a selection of soft cold/hot drinks and wines.

Another gourmet experience on this flight, leaving at 19.35, so we were served a full hot light dinner. After the nice welcome drink - pity it didn't come with the usual accompanying canapès - the pretty stewardesses offered a choice of two mains ("solomillo" steak with vegetables or "piquillos" stuffed red peppers, a Spanish specialty) with an offering of three salads (assortment of olives, tuna salad with fresh vegetables or cheese salad). Shortly after that a cheese board with an assortment of typical Spanish cheese wedges was brought around, followed by the offering of three desserts (fresh fruit salad, dried fruits or chocolate/hazelnut flan cake). Everything was very fresh and tasty and as usual it was presented on china. Top notch service and full marks to Air Nostrum for their great inflight product (just hope they will not cut in this area as - almost! - everybody else has done).
