We ate all this and more at the Callejeando Food Fest event this weekend, resulting in a serious food coma. But it was a great afternoon and a perfect sunny day for this fabulous food event: 19 food trucks from all over Spain, local organic food growers, local wines…

When my fabulous We Love Tapas team showed an interest in learning more about sherry I was thrilled to oblige, and of course we did it in proper WLT style. I’ll write more about it soon on the WLT blog, but for now here is a collage of what we ate and drank. Five sherries from five different bodegas and perfectly paired dishes with each wine. And we prepared all the food ourselves, other than the amazing deep dark flourless chocolate cake by Gollerias. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Friday’s lunch… exquisite trad food from the Basque country, including 12-year-old Portuguese beef (look away now Sled!). I was invited a bit last minute, but I’m glad I went because I met some very interesting people and basically had a great time. This was part of a promotion by Sagardi, who have just opened a bar and restaurant in the new Hotel Palacio Pinello. I’ll be back soon to check out the pintxos.

The number of people that I’ve met first as clients on my tapas tours and then who, well, just keep coming back, continues to grow. And the wonderful part about that is that we do end up becoming friends. Like the other night with Steve & Julie (far left) who have now been here a few good times, and Roma (far right) who is on her second visit to Sevilla. In between are Neil & Maria (friends of S & J).
We all met up for a drink, which led to a small tapeo, including pringá and finishing up at one of my favourite new places Tata Pila. Poor Roma had to catch an early flight and we kept her up way too late, but a wonderful time was had by all. And now I want them to come back. xx
