Believe it or not, these are two friends that I didn’t meet on Twitter! Juan Manuel and Reyes are the heart and soul of the Vineria San Telmo, one of my favourite tapas bars in Sevilla. And well, that’s how I first met Juan, by being a regular customer. Later when I started my Sevilla Tapas Tours the Vineria became one of the stops (depending on the tour) and we began working together too. Then Reyes, who for years had been responsible for the amazing Vineria desserts, opened her own storefront bakery Gollerías, now my “go to” place if I ever need a cake for a special event. Anyhow, ran into them both at the Vineria the other day and took this photo. Seriously two of the nicest people you could ever meet and I’m very lucky to be able to call them my friends. 🙂

The new We Love Tapas Sevilla Craft Beer & Tapas Tour is now a reality. We are taking bookings now, though it will be a bit patchy over Christmas holidays with one of our bars being closed. But by January they will be available every day except Sundays and Tuesdays. I’m very excited about this one. It all started in Málaga last summer when friends visiting from Ireland, after having discovered a great craft beer place there, casually mentioned that this might be a good idea for my tours. So the idea has been brewing (sorry) for awhile, but then came together very quickly this month with the invaluable help of the fabulous Aldara. In very quick order we’d sourced our locations, worked out the food pairings, and – most importantly – LEARNED enough about craft beer so we could share this new knowledge with our guests. It’s an interesting (and tasty) world and, like sherry, there is always something new to learn. So these tours are sure to evolve, but I’m very pleased with what we have created. Go WLT team!

Twitter does it again! Or rather, a Twitter-Instagram alliance in this case (we have a lot of virtual friends in common). As a result, I ended up meeting Carl for a quick fino, which then turned into an impromptu 7-hour Tapeo Extremo. It was a great afternoon (and evening) and Carl has even offered to be the first victim guest on this week’s preview of the new We Love Tapas Craft Beer & Tapas Tour. Stay tuned!
