Today’s Photohunt theme is “backwards”.
This is one of the doors at the newly restored Encarnación Market that clearly states you cannot smoke, take dogs, or ride bicycles inside the market. EXCEPT they got it backwards and put the stickers on the inside of the doors…

Since I started using Twitter I’ve been uploading photos to my various accounts using Twitpic. I’ve often thought about using another service because I didn’t like that you couldn’t search for pics or archive them properly, but as all my pics were already in one place and there was no easy way of moving them I decided to stay put.
Then Twitpic changed its terms of use, basically giving them rights over everyone’s uploaded photos. So when I heard about the Twitpic Export tool created by Steven Bullen, this seemed to be the answer. I’ve exported all of my photos from the Sevilla Tapas Twitpic (or at least I think I have) but now I have to decide where to import them. The three main contenders are WordPress, Tumblr and Posterous. I really like what fellow foodie Rosana has done with her Tumblr photo blog (I especially like the archive pages) and would like to have something similar for Sevilla Tapas, for the pics I upload to Twitter. But I wonder if there is a similar photo-friendly WP theme that would do the same thing, as I much prefer working with WordPress.
Any suggestions?

Latest ideas for promoting my Sevilla Tapas Tours include offering gift vouchers and a new Gourmet Tapas Tour.
I’m actually quite excited about both of these ideas because they open up more tour possibilities. I mean, imagine that you are coming to Sevilla for a birthday or special holiday and you find out that someone has given you a fab evening out as a present!
I’ve also done a couple of the Gourmet Tapas Tours, though they just kind of spontaneously happened when clients decided they wanted to splash out and not stay within the usual tour budget.
But I think offering a special tour where we would go to some of the more unique (and expensive!) tapas bars would be of particular interest to Serious Foodies, as well as being fun for me. I especially like the idea of taking people to out-of-the way places they wouldn’t have discovered on their own. Now to get busy promoting…
A special 4-hour Gourmet Tapas Tour for those who want it all.

I’ve been quite busy this past week or so trying to get the hotel page finished for azahar-sevilla.com, hoping that I would soon be able to generate some income from the nifty new Booking.com affiliate widget I now have on the site.
Then I realised that there are actually quite a few very nice holiday apartments in town that I hadn’t thought of including, and so this past weekend Nog & I went out and did some research, resulting in the new holiday apts page.
Let me know what you think!
