bluesky, friends, sevilla

Over the years I’ve met many lovely people via Twitter and several I’ve even had the pleasure of meeting in person. Well this is my first Bluesky connection! I came across Paul @macrambles.bsky.social there a few weeks ago noticed his interest in local live music. So after I started up Bitesize Sevilla I got in touch to see if he wanted to write a guest post on the jazz scene in Sevilla and he was happy to contribute. Then on Sunday we met up for lunch with his wife Marj and Peter at ConTenedor (one of venues in his article) and we all had a lovely time.

It’s a great article, please go have a look and give it a “like”. Also sign up for a free subscription if you haven’t already, it all helps me with getting more visibility on the site. Look for other guest articles soon talking about travel, hotels, art, lifestyle and more.

restaurants, sevilla

The other day I was invited to try out a new restaurant here by María, who I’ve known forever. She has a new job as front of house at brand new Luz y Brasa and she told the owners about me. And so, I went with Peter and it really was a great experience. BUT… there were only two of us and, aside from a few small starters, most of the dishes were mahoosive. So we on purpose over ordered because we didn’t want to have to decide between the sea bass or the Ibérico pork, and so we had both and then half of this baby came home with us.

People visiting Sevilla are never sure whether it’s okay to ask for a “doggie bag”. But I say hell yeah. It’s not really so much a Spanish custom but during Covid lockdown and with many places doing takeaway it became more usual, and then in 2023 there was a law passed (La Ley de Prevención de Pérdidas y Desperdicio Alimentario) requiring restaurants to offer a takeaway/leftover service.

And so Thursday’s takeaway leftovers have ended up being a delicious Friday lunch. Wild sea bass in a quick garlicky amontillado sauce, buttery mash and peas. Win-win.
