deb’s back!
18 Thursday Jun 2026
This week Deb and Claire were back in town and I was lucky enough to meet up with them twice! Last time Deb came in October and it was a bit too early for her to pick up her L’Armanaque de Sevilla for this 2026 so I managed to get them both a fridge magnet of the calendar cover from Alfredo (better than nuthin’).
We had two lovely lunches together, first at La Cochera del Abuelo and then Augurio. It was also Birthday Week for Claire so we toasted her birthday as well as Deb’s (almost) early retirement and, of course, Dan Jamón. Several times. It’s been great having them back again.

A few months ago I met Rocío and Kevin of Bolas Helados while I was doing research for my Bitesize Ice Cream in Sevilla article, and at the time I also suggested a possible visit for the Gastro Guías which they were happy to organise. Which happened this week at their brand new production facility just outside Sevilla. It was a great visit with Rocío giving us a master class in ice cream making along with a history of her company, her concept, her plans… and then we got to taste several of Bolas best. It was also the last visit I will organise for the Gastro Guías as I decided to resign as VP after more than three years with my last official day being June 30th. But it was great to go out on a high note.
world tapas day!
16 Tuesday Jun 2026
Today is World Tapas Day – Día Mundal de la Tapa – which takes place every 16th of June. This year it was accompanied by a petition to have the Tapeo recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Here is the link if you would like to go and show support for that. And now, go out for some tapas!
