international sherry week, palo cortao, sevilla, sherry

My life does not suck. This is International Sherry Week and one of my favourite spots in Sevilla, Palo Cortao, had organised a special 6-course sherry pairing dinner to be hosted by Sherry Ambassador Pepe Ferrer. And they invited me to join them! Yay!

As expected the food and wine pairings were spectacular. You can see what we had below. Of course every week is Sherry Week at Palo Cortao. Then have a wonderful wine list with lots of them available by the glass. If you’re in Sevilla you really should stop in.

insider tips, sevilla, tapas tour

At some point while eating out in Sevilla you will inevitably spill olive oil down your shirt or on your trousers. Don’t panic. Simply ask the barman for “el espray”, apply it to the stained area from an arm’s length distance, let it dry completely (it will turn white) and then ask for the “cepillo” to brush off the dried powder. And… stain gone! Every bar has this but visitors don’t know about it.

Here is Mallory & Emmerson showing us how it’s done on one of my tapas tours. In this case we sprayed in one bar and brushed in the next. Works every time.

I have known Gina on Twitter since forever and so I was thrilled when she said she and her husband Will would be coming to Sevilla. EXCEPT they were coming this week, while I would be away in Madrid. DAMMIT.

The good thing is that they arrived today and we were at least able to meet up for a short(ish) evening tapeo before I leave, ending with vermouth nightcaps with Esteban. And of course I have left them with lots of tips of other great places to eat while they are here.

Had a great time and am hoping they’ll be back soon!

fitness, sevilla, walking

So I found an app today that will track my walking route and tell me how far I’ve gone, and how fast. It’s a bit like Fitbit, but more specific. Fitbit counts all my steps all day long (when I am carrying my iPhone). With this app I can set it to start when I actually begin the WALK. Turns out it’s about 5 kms and takes about an hour. I don’t always follow the exact same route, and I do this at all different times of day (which is the great thing about it – so flexible) but I do enjoy the river walk.

And even though I know it’s just the tip of the iceberg, I’ve actually lost about 4 kilos, which is definitely a step (or 10,000 a day) in the right direction. 🙂
