I’m not much for cocktails but one of my most pleasant memories during the #SanlúcarGetaway was sitting at a beach bar on the Bajo de Guia at sunset. This cocktail is called the Sanlúcar and is made with manzanilla sherry, lime juice, olive oil, sugar, egg white, with hierbabuena & angostura bitters to finish. Delicious.

water cascading into Mercury’s pool at the Alcázar Palace
Spent a lovely morning re-visiting the Alcázar Royal Palace and the Cathedral – including climbing up the Giralda tower, which I haven’t done for years – and it was great. Those two very cold beers below (served in Riedel glasses!) was the reward, much needed with 40º temps. Expect more “postcards”…
the bells! at the top of the Giralda tower
fabulous patterns and colours at the Alcázar Palace

It suddenly occurred to me around 9 pm last night that I am ON HOLIDAY!
This doesn’t mean that I’m not working as much as always, just that there are fewer tapas tours this month and that I have also made plans to travel here and there in Andalucía doing research for my new trip planning biz. So how does this qualify as being ON HOLIDAY you ask? Well, the main difference is not feeling any pressure to have to be anywhere or do anything at any particular moment. So I can just get up in the morning and deal with new things as they come up, go to the gym or takes walks whenever I want, and also comfortably get on with updating website stuff… at my leisure. Just writing this makes me want to stretch like a cat.

You can always tell it’s officially summer in Sevilla because I start drinking beer.
Morcilla trying to beat the heat by stretching out as long as possible.
