First time seeing these two lovelies since before you-know-what. Anne and Paul are temporary neighbours this week, visiting from Jerez and staying just down the street from me. Today we met up for lunch at Castizo and had a lovely time catching up. Hoping for a trip to Jerez soon so we can do it again over there!

What an absolute treat it was to NOT eat tapas for a change! This (mostly vegetarian) feast was enjoyed at Fatouch, Sevilla’s newest (only?) Lebanese restaurant. I met up with my Lebanese friend Fourat, who of course knows the restaurant owner Anas, and she proceeded to order. Another treat for me! I didn’t have to do anything but sit back and enjoy. A review on Sevilla Tapas is coming up soon but if you want to see the entire meal have a look on my Sevilla Tapas Instagram. We had…
Hummus Beirutí
Hummus Remolacha
Fatouch Clásico
Pita
Labneh
Kafta
Falafel with tahini
Seriously the BEST falafal I’ve had since I lived in Toronto. Can’t wait to go back.

I bought these shoes two years ago (!!!) during the Black Friday sales, but somehow didn’t get around to breaking them in that winter. And then, yep, Covid happened. So last night was their Sevilla debut when I wore them out on a tapas tour. I was concerned I might get blisters so put a protective plaster on each heel. But it turned out they were snug but quite comfy. So between these and a barely used puffy jacket (also purchased two years ago) that I re-discovered in my closet I’m pretty much set up for winter wear.

I first met Jonathan back in 2008 when he opened a little bar around the corner from my then house in Barrio Santa Cruz. And we got to be good neighbours and pals, I even helped him set up his first social media stuff. But then I moved to HELL ALLEY and we kind of lost touch. And somehow I never got back to update his bar on my website (last update October 2011!!), though I did visit him in a tiny new bar he opened with his father just off the Alfalfa, now sadly closed due to Covid.
Anyhoodle… when I was at the fab Delgado Zuleta wine event last Monday there was Jonathan! And we had a chance to talk and I found out that Bodeguita La Parihuela has expanded into a connecting building and I promised to stop by soon to check it out and try some tapitas. Which ended up being today. Gotta say I was pleased with both the new look and the menu. Jonathan hasn’t forgotten his roots and the staff, although a bit bumbly at times, were eager to please. I’ll be updating it on Sevilla Tapas as soon as possible, but for now you can see some of the tapas over here.
