weekly update

So almost a month to the day of my first ever antigen test, they have become a weekly thing. And so far so good! Some say they should be done more frequently, but as I hardly go anywhere I think that for now once a week is fine. The good news is that the government has set the maximum price for the tests at just under 3€, so that’s more reasonable. Less than half of what I was paying last month.

What is disturbing is that so many people I know have contracted Covid in the past few weeks, both here in Spain and abroad. This omicron variant seems to be getting to almost everyone. And while I had stopped my tours in December and January, I was hoping to get back to work in February. Now I’m not so sure. I mean, I am still working every day, out and about and then updating my websites and social media accounts, but none of this brings in any income. A gentle reminder that if you’d like to help support my non-profit (info-packed!) websites you can become a Patreon. Or you can just keep showing up here and there, because that is also very much appreciated. xx

rainy rain

It’s officially winter and we are being blessed with RAIN which apparently will continue until the end of next week (Dec 30th). Luckily I clued in on this over the weekend and got tons of laundry done (both this week’s sheets and next week’s too) and so I am ready to mostly stay home and do cosy home stuff. Given that Omicron has just put Spain back into the HIGH RISK covid category, this is also a good thing. Hopefully the rain will keep people at home (but remember to support your favourite restaurants by ordering in!). Once again trying to “save Christmas” has put us all at risk. I don’t know about you but I can have Christmas anytime anywhere. But I do hope that you enjoy yours and also stay safe. xx

cañabota

I am so happy for my friends at Cañabota for winning their first michelin star. It’s not really my thing (going to michelin star restaurants) but they are understandably over the moon so I find myself caught up in their joy. I’ve known Juanlu for about ten years, have watched his progress and have seen how he and his amazing team – including chef Marcos, sous chef Javi and Juanlu’s father Pepe –  have stuck together through good times and bad. A lot of hard work and dedication has gone into making Cañabota what it is today. Now I just have to see if I can get a booking for my birthday…

sanlucar

Sanlúcar de Barrameda will officially become the Gastronomic Capital of Spain in 2022. The city of Manzanilla was awarded this title by the Hospitality Industry Federation of Spain and the Federation of Writers and Tourism Journalists, which will also commemorate the V Centenary of the First Around the World Voyage of Magallanes and Elcano. I’m quite excited about this and hope to spend a good part of next year enjoying the Cádiz coast. Stay tuned…
