Happy Andalucía Day! 💚🤍💚
22 Thursday Feb 2024

It’s been quite a while since I’ve travelled anywhere. Out of choice, much like I have barely worked over the past couple of months during the peak of Covid-Flu season. But three things have come up in March that have pushed me to MAKE PLANS.
The first is an awards event with the Academia Andalucía de Gastronomía in Córdoba weekend after next, which will also be a birthday present for Peter. Then mid-March I’m doing a day trip to Jerez to see my friends Julie & Steven who are back in Spain to celebrate Steven’s 80th birthday. The following week I am finally getting back to Sanlúcar de Barrameda after far too long.
Hotels and trains have been booked and I’m actually quite excited now. Of course we will be fully masked on public transport and will test before leaving for each trip just in case. Fingers crossed!

The inaugural ASGT conference for el Año del AOVE de Sevilla took place this week at the rather splendid Casa de la Provincia. The guest speaker was Rosa Vañó, member of the Royal Gastronomy Academy and co-founder of Castillo de Canina in Jaén (where this deliciousness is produced), introduced by our president Julio Moreno Ventas. It’s going to be an exciting year… stay tuned!
This time I was reminded to stick around for the group pic afterwards (forgot during the Año del Arroz closing event last June…oops).

Today the Gastro Guías had a very pleasant and fruitful meeting with the new managing director of Sevilla City Office, Antonio Castaño. As I mentioned in September, with the new local government we’ve had to establish new contacts in the tourism office, as well as maintaining contact with our original ones, like Javier Torres who was instrumental in helping us get started. Plus we had our first members meeting this week and things are beginning to take shape. Stay tuned!
