The latest on Bitesize Sevilla 🍊… It’s not just me, it’s you too! – hablando español con mucho acento. Actually a rewrite of a blog post I did here a few weeks ago. Anyhow, have a look and if you like it you can give it a “like”. And if you really like it please consider becoming a subscriber (free or paid). Thanks!

It’s not just me – it’s you too!

They’re baaaack. Back in November 2021 Euen & Sue booked a  Sherry & Tapas Tour (a tour! not a tasting, back in the days when I could still walk) and have been back to visit a few times since then. But in January Euen was planning something special for a big group of his golf buddies (16 in total) and basically wanted to show off his knowledge of great places to eat and drink here, so he got in touch with me to plan a food itinerary. And well, every place I chose for them was a hit, with a couple of them totally new to Euen.

Anyhow, the are back for about a week or so and invited me out to this fabulous lunch at Ivantxú. So nice to see them again and catch up. I think they will also be coming to a special sherry event with me this week, more on that later.

Remember Katie & Paul? We met back in 2023 when Katie (a twitter/insta pal, that’s her on the right) looked me up while they were in town and we spent a lovely sherry-filled afternoon together. Then they came back in February this year for the first Bowland & Bay Sevilla Getaway and last week we did the second one. And you know what? I think we’re getting good at this! Apparently round three is going to happen in March.

Katie runs her adventure food company Bowland & Bay out of Lancashire UK so if you happen to live near there, or will be in the area, look her up. Below a couple of “after” shots from the Sherry Tour on Friday. On Thursday we did a Market and Tapas tour in Triana (both modified from the usual tours to accommodate a larger group and my limited mobility). A job well done!
