Notice token flamenco image in centre of collage ;). But flamenco really was the reason I ended up in Jerez this weekend, with my friend Jo. It turned out Jo was coming down from London for the weekend to take a couple of flamenco dance classes with renowned dancer and choreographer Joaquín Grilo. And as I also had plans to see Sara Baras we decided to make a weekend of it. Every year Jerez hosts this 10-day Festival de Jerez but this is the first time I’ve been. It’s great fun, lots of events going on around the city, which made Jo and I think that maybe next year we’ll come for a whole week.
It was an epic afternoon, meeting new friends, lots of walking and talking, and LOTS of sherry too. Looking forward to seeing them again when they come to film in March.
But not in a bad way. It always pays to look up, especially in Sevilla…
The end of January seemed a fitting time to celebrate the We Love Tapas first anniversary. Not just because we first started training last January, but because we also finally found a date that we were all able to get together! Originally we were going to spend the day in Jerez, but those plans got postponed and so we decided to take a day trip to Triana. 🙂
For those of you who don’t know, Triana is just across the bridge and is actually a barrio of Sevilla (unless you are a Trianero, in which case it is an independent republic 😉 ). Anyhow, we had a great time. After visiting the market and ceramics museum we stopped at a few tapas bars before making our way back to the city centre for dessert and cava.
