Edmonton, add this one to your date night list.

Tapas, sangria, paella and that Whyte Ave atmosphere made this feel like a tiny trip to Spain without leaving Edmonton.

We stopped by Bodega Tapas & Bar by Sabor on Whyte Avenue, and I love this style of dinner because you don’t have to choose just one thing. Order a few plates, share everything and call it research.

If you’re looking for Edmonton restaurants, Spanish food in Edmonton, tapas in Edmonton, Whyte Avenue restaurants, Edmonton date night ideas, places to eat in Edmonton, or your next Edmonton food adventure, save this one.

What are you ordering first: tapas, paella or sangria?

Of the 30 businesses I want to feature in my One Business a Day series, I only have 6 spots left.

This series has been such a beautiful way to discover more local businesses, hear their stories, and share them with all of you.

Now I need your help. Comment your favourite local spot below and tell me who I should interview next. It can be a coffee shop, bakery, boutique, maker, service, or any business you think deserves more love.

Let’s finish these last 6 together taken in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada by @busygoingplaces

Episode 07 of One Business a Day is Local 95.

Bradley built this shop to make it easier to find Canadian-made products beyond the usual local gift options.

You’ll find food, gifts, spicy gummies, salsa, hot sauces and products made mainly in Alberta, BC and Quebec.

I tried Mama K’s homemade salsa and it was so good.

Mention BGP for 10% off almost anything in the store.

Check @local_95_ before visiting for their latest location and events.

Episode 05 of One Business a Day is Leduc Coffee Shop.

This cozy downtown Leduc spot is known for homemade cinnamon buns, coffee, local art, handmade finds, toys and gifts.

If you go, try the cinnamon bun early because they can sell out.

A lot has changed, but so have I.

I’m building a life that lets me travel more, help others experience more, and support small businesses along the way.

Still figuring it out. Just not hiding anymore.

Episode 04 of One Business a Day is Pequeñita Delicias.

Janette has dreamed of having her own business since she was 12, and now she creates handmade jewelry, crochet pieces, tote bags, aprons and custom designs right here in Edmonton.

I picked up a pair of gold-and-pearl earrings and loved how affordable and unique everything felt.

If you see her at a local market, stop by and take a look.
