Some days my life seriously doesn’t suck and this was one of them.
More coming soon on Bitesize about the Cantabria event in Sevilla.
And no, they never get my name right 😅

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.

I’ve known José Luis Pastrano since he started off as a young chef at 5-star luxe hotel Balbuena y Huertas in 2023. Within a few months he had garnered recommendations for the restaurant in both the Michelin and Repsol guides… not bad! But things didn’t quite work out with the hotel management so he moved on to open a place in his home village of San José de la Rinconada just outside Sevilla. Then last year he was offered a gig at yet another hotel in the city centre and sadly that fell through after a few months. But now he is back in the centre once more, this time in his own place – no more hotels! – and so Reyes and I stopped in this week to check it out. And we loved it. So much deliciousness… I really hope this will be his time to shine. He deserves it.
