First visit since our first meet up just before Covid lockdown, after knowing each other “virtually” for years, Rogene (aka Maribel) and Phil are back in town. We had a couple of great food and wine filled afternoons, a “Tribeca Tapas Tour” and then Phil’s birthday lunch at Barra Baja. Good times!

I have known Helen @HelenORahilly for YEARS (virtually) and, although she has been to Sevilla and hereabouts several times, this was the first time we actually got to meet up in person. And really it felt like meeting up with an old friend. First a bit of sherry at Manolo Cateca and then a fab tapas lunch at Taberna Zurbarán. This is why I still hold on to Twitter. I’ve met so many amazing people there, and we are still there. At least for now. Anyhow, Helen is off back home to Dublin tomorrow but it was great having an afternoon out together (also enjoyed our whatsapp chats while she was out and about here this week). Hope she’ll be back soon.

Anna is back in town for the week and we had planned to meet up today for a quick visit… then this photo popped up in my instagram stories this morning. Taken exactly six years ago after having lunch with Anna and her kids during a previous visit. How random is that? Anyhow, it was great to catch up but Anna forgot to bring the weather with her (usually the Galicia rain followers her here). Ah well.

Another Twitter pal is in town this week. Niav from Dublin has been coming to Sevilla since 1999 and before this visit she got in touch so we made plans to meet up (for the first time). Had a fab lunch at La Barra de Cañabota and the next day Niav came out with me and Peter while I did some Market Research to update info for one of my tours. Of course this included a couple of market stops for snacks and then afterwards some further Tapas Research at Vida Jonda because, well, why not? It’s been fun having Niav here, in person and chatting on whatsapp following her adventures, and I hope she’ll be back soon.
