el rincon del tito, sevilla, tapas, tapas bars

rincon tito (12)Luis, owner Luis Barceló, Jonathan & Carmen

When you stop off somewhere you’ve never been before for a quick beer (because the other bar you were going to was closed) and end up chatting with the bar owner, then stay for lunch, and then make friends, not only with the owner and staff, but also with two couples sitting at other tables, then all of us finishing with orujo chupitos together… so much fun. Delicious too. This is El Rincón del Tito, about a ten minute walk from my house. Founded in 1982. l couldn’t believe I’d never been here before. Present owner Luis Barceló has been running it for the past 15 years. He also couldn’t believe I’d  never been here before (what?? you’ve been to Eme’s and not here??). Anyhow, review going up soon on Sevilla Tapas, and yes, I will be back here soon. Love this place! Also loved the serendipity.

Watermelon steeped in vermouth, then served over crushed ice with cinnamon, grated orange peel and fresh mint. Had this at Barra Baja the other day and wow, so fresh and summery.

ceviche workshop

I’ve had worse Mondays! 😉  Today I was invited to a ceviche workshop held by my friend Eva @flamencakitchen and featuring another friend, Peruvian chef Danny Cárdenas @dannycardenasmunoz and his fabulous teams from Lima Street Food and Raíces. Eva’s @elsurdelasestrellas, which she runs with sponsor partner @cervezasvictoria, highlights and promotes chefs from the south of Spain. The venue @platea_odeon is located on the top floor of the old Córdoba train station in Plaza de Armas and, as you can see, it’s quite spectacular.

Eva’s events always offer something a bit different, and this time we got to watch Danny show us how to make two types of ceviche, and then have his cocktail expert demonstrate how to make the perfect pisco sour. And then it was time to eat. Ceviche clásico, causita de pollo, maki acevichado, chicharrón de pancheta and lemon pie for dessert. Delicious fun and also a chance to catch up with friends.

cheese bread wine

So this was fun! I was invited to a cheese, bread and wine tasting at Sevilla’s new international hospitality school Gastromiun. My friend Rafa Bellido presented five Spanish wines which we later paired with national cheeses and local bread and, as always, I learned a lot. Still hoping to find a good accredited Spanish wine course. Perhaps I could persuade the school directors?
