gastro guias, sevilla

gurme sevilla

Con el aumento del turismo en ciudades como Sevilla ha surgido una nueva figura que adentra al visitante en los entresijos gastronómicos locales. Se trata de guías gastronómicos, una vertiente de la profesión que no goza del reconocimiento y el aval que sí tienen sus compañeros especializados en patrimonio. Por ese motivo acaba de nacer la Asociación de Guías Gastronómicos de Andalucía, cuya intención es poner en valor el trabajo que cada día elaboran estos cicerones culinarios.

With the increase in tourism in cities like Seville, a new figure has emerged that takes visitors through our local gastronomic intricacies. These are the gastronomic guides, an aspect of the profession that does not enjoy the recognition and endorsement that its colleagues who specialise in heritage do have. For this reason, the Association of Gastronomic Guides of Andalusia has been created, whose intention is to highlight the work that these culinary experts do every day.

What a great time at the 2nd Ecológica KoK Forum. I was able to attend a couple of the presentations on the second day and they were both super interesting. First up was a chat called “Cocinas del Mundo” with Juanlu Fernández and Marcos Nieto @canabota, Pedro González @kinu and Carloz González @elcevichano_es, moderated by Inmaculada Ruíz @iesheliopolis. Next Paco Ybarra @pacoybarram executive chef @fundacioncruzcampo gave a workshop on the traditional processes of fermentation with virgen sea salt: Colatura, Almorí and Garum.

I wished I could have stayed for more but I was happy to have made it to this excellent two-day event organised by my friend Mónica Trujillano @guiagastronomicaelcomensal. Impressive job, educational and entertaining. Well done Mónica! Looking forward to the next one. 👏👏👏

cordoba, cordoba getaway

cordoba 24 (1)

Córdoba is less than an hour away from Sevilla (if you are willing to pay extra for the fast train) and it really is lovely. This time it was a quick overnight to attend the attend the Premios Andalucía Gastronomía presented by the Academia Andaluz de Gastronomía y Turismo. In fact the whole weekend was full of activities and visits and lovely meals… and I had to forgo most of them until the main event on Monday, which was the presentation of the awards followed by a lunch at Bodegas Campos.

Problem was MY F*CKN KNEE. I had to bail on all the Sunday activities and, even so, it turned out I walked way too many steps just going out for lunch and this and that (had also forgotten that Córdoba is HILLY). Luckily the H10 Hotel Palacio Colomera was AMAZING and it was comfy just hanging out there, either on the rooftop or in their cosy downstairs bar with big windows overlooking the square. Lucked out with a room upgrade too so we ended up not only with a larger room but one with a large balcony. We also lucked out with a fabulous receptionist/concierge Carlos who recommended a couple of fab nearby spots for lunch and dinner. Made a huge difference as I was in extreme pain most of the time.

Anyhow, a few random pics below, sorry too tired to do better…

Andalucia, cordoba, cordoba getaway

cordoba aagt

A quick overnight getaway (with dodgy knee) to attend the Premios Andalucía Gastronomía in Córdoba, presented by the Academia Andaluz de Gastronomía y Turismo. They actually had activities and events planned for the whole weekend but I’m saving myself for the main event today. Got into town yesterday and, thinking I might not be able to move around a lot, decided to splash out a bit in case I had to spend most of the time at the hotel…

Actually got a good “winter travel” price for one night so what the heck. It was also Peter’s birthday on Saturday so this trip is his birthday present. During the last Córdoba Getaway (June 2022) we walked through this square on the way to our pokey hotel and I had to stop in and have a look inside… vowed then and there I would stay at the H10 Palacio Colomera one day. Anyhow, more on Córdoba and the event after I get home.
