… though obvs without Jack Frost nipping at your nose.
I love the internets. I snapped this pic and put it up on my Sevilla Tapas FB page. At the time I thought this girl was buying some chestnuts, but then realised she was also working the stand. And THEN someone informed me on FB that this was “El Cochuelo” and his daughter. Who knew?

Ryan, plotting world domination…
Comes a time during every new We Love Tapas guide’s training period when they do a practice tour with a couple of specially chosen victims “clients”, and me tagging along to “observe and intimidate”. 😉
This time up I called once again upon dynamic duo Ang & Ryan (aka @JetsLikeTaxis) for their services. It was their third time and I have to say they are really getting the hang of it. So much so that next time I might just be able to stay home and wait for their report.
Most uncharacteristically *ahem* the tour ended with a penúltima (or three) at The Office (aka La Azotea Santa Cruz). As you can see, nobody was the slightest bit inebriated. Thanks again, guys!

It’s (almost) that time again – International Sherry Week!
This year I will be offering my fab Introduction to Sherry tours as usual…
And it also seemed like the ideal time to introduce the new Sherry & Tapas tour by We Love Tapas. Very excited about this one…
Look for sherry events happening in your area on the Sherry Week Website.

A bit like when you see bullheads in a bar, you can always spot an inauthentic travel piece on Sevilla that talks about all the “spit and sawdust” bars here, with napkins strewn all over the floor. I’ve lived here for over 23 years and the very few bars in the centre that used to put down sawdust have long since stopped this practice. But every now and then you find one. This was taken at Taberna Azahar, a bar I’ve been planning to go to for ages (mostly for the name, truth be told). It’s up in the Macarena barrio, not a place I frequent very often. Anyhow, although they still put down sawdust, there are little bins throughout the bar for paper napkins.
Curious though… does anyone know of any other “spit and sawdust” places in Sevilla?
