sevilla, sevilla tapas tour, tapas, tapas tour

THIS. When you take out two couples who don’t know each other (one from Toronto, the other from London) on a Sevilla Tapas Tour and then two days later they WhatsApp you with a photo of them all tapeando together in Triana with your List. It’s not just a job to me, you know?  ❤

ouch!!

ct scan, health, hospitals, sprains

So THIS happened yesterday. At the second winery in Ronda I was being led down a pebbly slopey path and …. whoosh! …. suddenly I was down. And dammit, I knew something was wrong right away, but what was I going to do? I still had another bodega to visit and wasn’t going to get home any quicker because my bus didn’t leave until 6 pm. But by the time I got home last night my foot and ankle were all swollen and hurt like a mofo.

Once home I applied a large bag of frozen peas and considered cancelling my CT scan that was scheduled for 8.30 the next morning. But in a way it was “lucky” that I had the scan because I may not have gone to get my foot looked at otherwise. So after the scan I hobbled over to emergency to have it x-rayed. Turns out nothing is broken, and I was given a tension bandage, so that’s all good. Except for the hurting like a mofo bit.

Also looks like tomorrow I’ll be doing a sherry tour on crutches! I know I should be staying home but I also have to pay my rent.

What a day! Hot on the heels of my last Decanter Magazine article on Madrid, my pitch for Málaga was accepted so I am out and about doing bodega research this month. First stop… Ronda! I’ve been wanting to visit Bodegas Descalzos Viejos for years and I wasn’t disappointed. In fact it was one of the best bodega visits ever. I also got to visit Bodegas Melonera and Bodegas Schatz. All in one afternoon! More to come, but for now a few pics of these beautiful wineries. Next up… the Axarquía!

After years of knowing each other “virtually”, and also working together, it was great to finally meet Maribel & Philip @iberiantraveler in person yesterday. A fun Sunday afternoon tapeo stopping in at three bars, with mucho vino, lots of talking. Hope they will come back soon.
