Libro de Firmas del Hotel Sauce

noviembre 9th, 2010

Desde hace algún tiempo Hotel Sauce ha querido guardarse un pedacito de cada visitante. En 2009 nuestro deseo se hizo realidad gracias al “Libro de Firmas” situado en la recepción del hotel, donde nuestros huéspedes nos dejan su pequeño recuerdo estampando su firma, haciendo comentarios, dándonos su opinión, sugerencia o simplemente realizando una dedicatoria que permanecerá con nosotros para siempre.

Gracias a la tecnología digital os podemos ofrecer una pequeña selección de algunos de los comentarios y dibujos hechos por nuestros clientes y amigos llegados de todas partes de España y del mundo.

Muchas gracias a todos los que nos han dejado este bonito recuerdo!

Not all the brownies are made with chocolate: caramelized apple Blondies

mayo 8th, 2010

There are also brownies made with apple, cannel, nuts, white chocolate, mint, blueberries, sour cream…and in Saucépolis we all love this dessert. It was invented by a baker that forgot including the baking powder in the chocolate cake, and he decided to cut it in small squares and offer them to the customers.

We inaugurate this new serial in Saucépolis with the intention of sharing with you easy and tasty recipes of these special cakes. And to proof that not all the brownies are made with chocolate, we will start with the recipe of a blondie, that is the name of brownies without chocolate.

Our customers and friends will taste them tomorrow Sunday in the breakfast hotel.

Caramelized apple Blondies

Ingredients for 6-8 people:

Coverage of caramelized apple:

85g brown sugar
50g. unsalted butter
1 apple in slices

Brownies

120g. unsalted butter
150 g. brown sugar
2 beat eggs
200 g. flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons of ground spices (cinnamon and cardamom)
2 apples, peeled and grated
85 g. chopped hazelnuts

Start by preheating the oven to 180 ºC (356 ºF). Grease a rectangular mold.

Prepare the apple coverage. In a saucepan at medium heat, heat the butter and sugar together, stirring with a wooden spoon until melted. Then, pour over the pan covering the bottom. Place the apple with skin (it is nicer) into slices and set aside.

Make the dough in a large bowl mix sugar and butter until they form a smooth paste. Add the beaten eggs and continue mixing.

In other bowl mix the spices and flour. Add it to the egg mixture and mix sugar and butter well.

On the other hand cut the hazelnuts into large pieces, so it’s much better to do it with a knife. Peel and cut the apples, which can be grated or chopped in the food processor at low speed.

Add the hazelnuts and the apple to the dough, mix and put it into the mold on the top of the apples, spreading with spatula to get the same height.

Bake the blondie for about 35-40 minutes, or until set (by clicking with a skewer should come out clean). Chill it for 10 minutes. Cut into small squares and serve.

If you don’t eat it all, you can keep it in a hermetic container and store at room temperature, you can keep them for a week (blondies never last more time at our home)

Our fruit seller!

abril 1st, 2010

frutero Where does Pili get the tasty juice that she includes in the Hotel Sauce breakfasts? Or the delicious strawberries?

Here starts the figure of Joaquín!!

This kind, attentive and polite man provides us with the best fruits.

In 1903 the Central Market of Saragossa opened its doors, and at that time, his grandmother Mrs. Petra Pardo Boné, opened her stand with the numbers 89-91.

After that, Joaquín’s mother, Mrs. Dionisia Vidal Boné, ran the business. Years ago, she was in labor in the same central market just the day before the Epiphany’s Day. Thank God, she could finally gave birth at home. It’s funny to hear that her mom used to take him to the fruit shop, and he was normally in one of the fruit boxes!!

It’s almost a whole life in the Central Market, where some of the oldest customers still remember him with short trousers!!! Hehe. It’s almost a whole life serving people with his kindness and his smile.

Joaquín wakes up everyday at one in the morning to buy the products at Mercazaragoza and to have everything prepared at the beginning of the morning in his stand 89-91.

Article in the El País’ Newspaper

febrero 24th, 2010

Last January, El País’ newspaper published an article on their travels section, where the writer explains why Aragon is the best region to make a small trip.

Among them, there is the city of Saragossa, the capital of Aragon. It’s recommended to spend a couple of days with the whole family because of the wide offer of activities and the big amount of monuments that you can find in the centre or in the old quarter.

Besides, you can make a guided visit, where real actors will take you to the past, when Jews, Moors and Christians live all together in the city. Finally, Hotel Sauce is recommended for its wonderful location and its warm and friendly stays.

Hotel Sauce in Ryanair’s Magazine

enero 24th, 2010

Ryanair’s magazine has been recommending places to eat, sleep and have fun of some cities where they have presence. Last year, it was Saragossa’s turn, and specially, the Hotel Sauce was named as a “supercentral hotel with 40 smart rooms that simply ooze decorum”.

The Irish company that has a big presence here in Saragossa since 2001, has become the best way to travel cheap for lots of Aragon’s citizens and people from neighbour regions. Nowadays, if you don’t travel is because you don’t want to. The number of travellers that go to London, Brussels or Alicante has enhanced during the last months, and this is a good sign and shows that people love travelling with Ryanair.

Besides, this year 3 more routes have been added to the five that already existed. The first one announced, that is already active, is Paris, and the rest are Málaga and Düsseldorf. These routes will start on 22^nd of June and on 1^st of July respectively.

For all the customers that have arrived in Saragossa directly with Ryanair, the Hotel Sauce will give them as a present a glass of wine and a succulent “tapa” in the known “Casa Juanico” bar. See the offer

New Year’s Eve in Saragossa

diciembre 25th, 2009

This year our hotel appears in the New Year’s Eve Special Edition published last 24th December by the Heraldo de Aragón Journal (see the picture on the left).

noche-vieja-hotel-zaragoza-222x3003

The article makes reference to the wide offer of the hotels for this special night. A lot of people prefer to book a room in order to avoid the long time that the displacement requires. Spending one night outside is not only practical, but also a romantic and special alternative.

This night, people usually get dressed very elegant for the dinner and later, for the party, called “Cotillón” in Spain. It’s also very common to get breakfast before the sunrise. The most typical Spanish breakfast is the “chocolate con churros”. You will love it if you haven’t tasted it yet!!

It’s not easy to make from the usual and normal, something different and noble.

There’s nothing more common than the Spanish Omelet. However, the Spanish Omelet from the Hotel Sauce deserves the first place. The different elements, its texture and its right time of cooking join together to make it tempting and fantastic. Simply special.

Moreover, if you discover the Pili’s permanent smile, the artist, what else can we say!

You’re delighted when you start the day with this breakfast, omelette included, and the feeling of a close and open smile. Congratulations Pili!

Alfonso and Don Jaime streets in the old quarter of Saragossa

julio 29th, 2009

Last 19th July the Heraldo de Aragón Newspaper, in its Sunday edition, made reference to two of the main streets that are in Saucepolis territory and become part of Saragossa: Alfonso I and Don Jaime I.

These streets are two of the most known, with a long history, a privileged localization and lots of shops that, mainly in Don Jaime, resist to the standardization and clonation of tastes and products that are common of different commercial zones.

Both streets are located in the old quarter of the city of Saragossa, where our Sabinas Apartaments and Hotel Sauce are located, but each one has its own history:

Alfonso Street

This street suffered the urbanity reform during the end of the 19^th century and all this supposed a social and commercial change. A large number of the high classes moved to this street and it allowed the creation of a new commercial zone full of shops.

Nowadays, Alfonso I has become one of the main streets of the modern Saragossa. You can find among its streets a place full of restaurants and bars where you can taste the famous “tapas”.

Don Jaime Street

This street was also renovated in the 19^th century. For the reconstruction, some houses and churches had to be demolished. It also became a very important commercial street of the city, and even nowadays, some of these shops are still there, like the oldest bakery of the city, “Fantoba”.

No matter how many times you walk around these streets, because you will always find something new!!
