wlt trainingI have to say that loving my job has taken on a whole other dimension since I began We Love Tapas last year. Which is that I now get to love other people’s jobs as well! This week I took Team Sevilla out on a couple of training sessions so they could also start doing our fabulous Oldest Taverns Tour. Previously only Peter was doing this tour, but it made sense to have more guide options, especially as it’s becoming very popular. As always, the owners and staff at our bars were keen to make us feel at home, and also to spend time telling the team all kinds of anecdotes along with the history of each bar. I mean, I could do that! But it’s even better when the team gets to hear all this from the people who have lived that history (or at least some of it). And each time I learn something new as well. Best job in the world. And best team ever!  🙂

Yeah I know, me sipping sherry – so what else is new? But yesterday was an extra special “sherry event” for me. I finally got to meet Seana Yee (aka @SherrySips) in person, after having “known” her on Twitter & Instagram for awhile.  Seana lives in Portland and has been on a sherry odyssey for the past couple of weeks, visiting bodegas in Jerez, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María (sound familiar?).

Yesterday Seana took a day trip to Sevilla to go out on a private Sherry & Tapas Tour with me. What a day! I’ll be writing more about our tapeo, the wines and the bars on the Azahar Sevilla blog, but for now here’s a photo of Seana and Loki (and a glass of manzanilla pasada) taken at casa az during a quick pit stop between tapearing and heading out to a flamenco show. Love when you meet people and it feels like you’ve always known them. Thanks for a great time, Seana – hope to see you again soon! xx
