If there was ever a book written for me to read it THIS IS IT. Many thanks to Mar @perdeseporsevilla for bringing it to my attention. We met about three weeks ago while I was having some tapas with my friend Lucy at the newly reopened Antigua Casa Diego (Mar was sitting next to us) and we’ve been Insta-Twitter pals ever since. Although the book was out of print, with the help of Twitter I found a vendor in Valencia with a second hand copy, so it is (we hope) winging its way to me as we speak. So very excited about this. Written by a local jouranlist and historian who has written several books about Sevilla, but this one is from the perspective of the bars, their histories, etc. Can’t wait.

Yes, we are finally getting some rain – woo hoo! Seriously we need it so bad. But it’s still not nearly enough. This week has been mostly overcast with splashes of rain here and there. Anyhow, I get this lovely albeit somewhat melancholy view from my balcony. It’s now been over a week since I tested positive for Covid. A week marked by some initial AWFUL days, then later mostly grey days of being stuck inside. Just like this one. Hope I can go out again soon. But I also hope it keeps raining.

I’ve posted pics of this guy’s work here before but I have only just found out who he is. Well, sort of. He goes by the name Jonzi and he’s an anonymous local artist who has been delighting Sevilla with his clever silhouettes that have been popping up around town for the past year (he started around the end of 2021). The stickers are applied with wallpaper glue so as not to damage the building surfaces, which also means they are temporary, though some seem to be lasting quite well. I love them and hope he continues.
Just “met” him on Instagram this morning.

This year I have two fabulous sherry tastings on offer for Sherry Week (November 7-13th). A lunchtime Sherry & Tapas tasting at my beloved Casa Morales. And new this year is a gorgeous gourmet tasting option at chic Restaurante Zelai featuring wines by Bodegas Lustau that is available late afternoons. Spread the word!
