A couple of blue pics from my brief hobble outside yesterday… it’s going to be raining pretty much non-stop for the next ten days. And that’s fine because we really need our rain during the winter months, especially after a few very dry years. In the meantime we always have the promise of more blue skies to follow. 💙

The Asociación de Guías Gastronómicos de Andalucía is into its second year and today we held the annual assembly to talk about what we’ve done over the past year, review the accounts and discuss future plans. The Sevilla City Office generously let us use one of their meeting rooms and we were able to set it up so members outside of Sevilla could join us via Zoom (we are 38 members strong now). Stay tuned for more news from us.

This was actually published in November (in print) and later was also published online, but Decanter has changed its policy for online viewing and now everything is being paywalled, so I didn’t actually get a chance to see the finished article until now. My editor Ines sent me a surprise package this week and I finally got to hold it in my hot little hands.
I researched most of The Alternative Costa del Sol last May when I went to Málaga & Marbella, and my friend Jeffrey helped me out with a lot of tips, as he lives in the area. I hope that Decanter reconsiders this policy, at least for “lighter” articles like mine. Meanwhile, you can see my previous ones below.
