caracoles, caracolia, sevilla

It’s snail season and time for another Caracolia 🐌🐌🐌. The fourth edition starts today with 13 establishments from Sevilla (city and province) bringing their best down to the riverside venue next to the Torre del Oro. I am going to try and get down one day,  though I have to admit I’m unlikely to try more than one version (the secret is in the sauce). I like them well enough, but a little goes a long way. If you’re in Sevilla pop down and try them out. You can read more about the annual gastronomy festivals organised by the Academia Sevilla de Gastronomía (of which I am a proud member) here… Festivales Gastronómicos de Sevilla.

sevilla, tinglao wine fest, wine

Last week Cádiz sommelier (and wine bar owner) Jonatan Cantero held the first Tinglao Wine Fest on the rooftop of the Hotel Mercer Plaza in Plaza San Francisco. I went with my friend Gracie and we enjoyed fabulous wines presented by a selection of bodegas and distributors, handpicked by Jonatan, and accompanied by delicious bites including the best bellotas, oysters, cheeses and gildas galore. Great music too! It was a lovely evening out. Already looking forward to the next one. 🍷

bitesize sevilla, food, friends, sevilla

My Dublin pal Michele (you pronounce that Mi-ke-lay) was back in town this past weekend and we met up for a Beer O’clock that turned into a full-on afternoon full of deliciousness. Yet more birthday fun (it ain’t over till it’s over). First we went to Ultramarinos Casa Lucas because I was finishing up my next Bitesize Sevilla article and needed some photos, and after that Michele was happy to accompany me (and Peter) while I did further research, this time to a brand new wine bar that just happens to be directly across the street from my previous Casa Az. You remember, the one where I didn’t get any sleep for five years.

Anyhoodle, both stops were fabulous, and as always, it was great catching up with Michele again, who says he’ll be back in Sevilla a few more times this year as there are several concerts he wants to attend. Later on he also went to Augurio. Like me, he is totally in love with that place and not only visits every time he’s here but (also like me) he sends everyone he knows there when he hears they are visiting Sevilla. Hasta la próxima!
