Posted on Bluesky by pal Nick Lloyd, who runs fabulous Civil War history tours in Barcelona – look him up if you go for a unique way of discovering the city. The Iberian lynx was on the verge of extinction for years but have recently been reclassified as “vulnerable”.  Magnificent creatures.

What a photo! A young Iberian lynx outside an abandoned barn where he was born, Sierra Morena, Andalucía. By Sergio Marijuán. This camera trap image was a candidate for the 2025 Wildlife Photograph of the Year organised by the Natural History Museum of London. ~Nick Lloyd

Look what came today! Been looking forward to this, the companion book to my friend Sarah Jane Evans MW‘s The Wines of Norther Spain. I even get a nice mention for advising Sarah Jane (ever so slightly) about Sevilla wines, still very much unheard of, even here. Excellent timing to help with research I’m presently doing for a couple of Bitesize Sevilla articles as well as an upcoming travel piece for Decanter.

Things are hopping down here in the south. As Sarah Jane says in her book, if she had written the chapter on Andaculía ten years ago it would have been very different. Exciting times. Also nice to see so many people I’ve come to know over the years mentioned in the book. Worth taking a look.

This week the Asociación de Guías Gastronómicos de Andalucía (AGGA) held a special meeting to elect a new treasurer and two new committee members. Both Lola (president) and María (treasurer) are expecting daughters any minute now and, while Lola will be back after her maternity leave, María has decided to step down as treasurer, though she will continue to be a member.

Meanwhile, for the past few months Sharon, Alejandro and Clotilde have been included in the Executive Committee group chat (there’s also a members one) and have been helping with organisation and the general functioning of the association, so it was time to make them official committee members.

Sharon is taking over the treasurer post and Clotilde and Ale will continue as a part of the committee but now in an official capacity. It’s actually been great having these three with us, especially as our membership grows (we are now 34 strong), not only to spread out the work load but also to rely on for fresh ideas and inspiration. It’s all good.
