Cesca Rampley

Culture vulture from London with a passion for all things foodie, I’ve spent over six years living in Spain, exploring the country’s diverse regions and cities. I studied literature at university in the eclectic city of Brighton, and since then, I’ve been hooked on keeping up with what to do, see, and, of course, eat.
