All in all, not a bad way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon in Sevilla. After sampling a few tasty items I also did a bit of shopping and took home some lovely spicy manzanilla olive oil and – gasp! – tuna belly in manteca. On Sunday I’m heading out to the Cádiz mountains for a monster cheese festival. What are you guys up to this weekend?

Saw the first local asparagus of the season in the market the other day and snapped some up immediately. So fresh and delicious. Today I fancied it again and ended up making a lovely tortilla, which would have had a lot more asparagus in it had CERTAIN CATS IN THIS HOUSE not eaten so much of it…

I went here today! Because of Twitter and Instagram and other social media stuff I do. Bit of a long story, which I’ll tell in more detail when I have a bit more time over at Azahar in Sevilla. Stay tuned…

I have new neighbours! Valenska and Fernando – Paladar y Tomar on Twitter – recently moved to Sevilla from Barcelona, and yesterday we got to meet in person. A lunchtime tapeo wandering through sunny azahar-scented streets that didn’t finish until almost 9 pm… I guess you could say we hit it off. Lovely people with much wit and charm. I hope to see them often.
How was your Sunday?

Flamenquin con salmorejo (Córdoba) | Gazpachuelo (Málaga)
Andrajos (Jaén) | Tortilla de Sacromonte (Granada)
Yep, the things I do for my public. This was not just lunch but a tapas tour around Andalucía. Andalucía is one of Spain’s 17 autonomous regions, comprising eight provinces. As a very clever way of celebrating Andalucía day (this Friday) Juanlu at La Pepona came up with the idea of offering one traditional tapa from each Andalusian province. And here they are!
Olla de trigo (Almería) | Tortillitas de Camarones (Cádiz)
Huevos a la flamenca (Seville) | Habas con chocos (Huelva)
I was aided in this endevour (which I could never have managed on my own!) by Peter @SVQconcierge and Markus @veoapartment. We fearlessy tasted each provincial delight for you, including crunchy pig’s ear and BRAINS. Thanks guys!
