Last week Patrícia (owner of Singular Trips in Lisbon) got in touch with me, saying that she and her husband Luís would be in Sevilla in a few days and that she would like to meet up. She has been getting requests for tours in Spain and wanted to know more about what I do, etc… and so we met for an afternoon tapeo. Lovely people who really care about what they do, so hopefully we will end up working together sometime. 🙂

In most bars this is known as “la carta” (the menu) but here at Casa Moreno Emilio calls it “la lista de auto ayuda” (the self help list). This week I’m doing the rounds – stopping in at my favourite bars that are going to be closed in August for their much deserved summer holidays. It’s nice doing this, just to have a drink with them and say… see you in September! Also, I get kisses. 🙂

Martha @marthakimes is back in town for a few days, so we met up for an afternoon tapeo that took us from Las Teresas to La Barra de Inchausti and then finishing at La Azotea (Martha never truly feels she has arrived in Sevilla until she’s had their filo-prawn-cheese puffs). A fun and tasty afternoon.

Although I have met up with Phoebe & Oli a few times while visiting London, and they have both been to Sevilla separately, this is the first time we have all met up together here. Yay!
It was a lovely day starting off with – what else? sherry and jamón – which led to a lunchtime tapeo (Las Teresas, La Barra del Inchausti, Palo Cortao). Finishing around 5 pm we took a break before meeting up again at 8.30. The plan had been to introduce them to Esteban and his fabulous vermutería Yo Soy Tu Padre and then leave them to have dinner elsewhere, but somehow one vermouth led to another, and we finished up eating rabbit ribs at La Azotea at 11 pm. Like you do.
These guys are doing a Spain roadtrip before they head back to London, pack up, and move to Australia, where Phoebe is from. So I guess that means no more London meet ups, but they assure me they will be back to Spain again before too long.

I mean, what are the odds? Got an email the other day from a guy called Chris who said he’d been in town for the past few weeks and that he’d been making good use of my Sevilla Tapas website. He mentioned that he was Canadian and that he was curious as to how another Canadian ended up in Sevilla, so we agreed to meet up for a tapita. Well. Turns out he’s not only Canadian, but also from Winnipeg. AND that he used to go see my ex-husband’s band Houndog back in the day. PLUS he lived in Toronto the same time I was there and probably went to a restaurant where I was working at the time.
He’s also a historian, so I told him how I used to have lots of historians as lodgers a few years ago. He’s been to Sevilla about seven times over the years, and no doubt will be back. Nice afternoon. 🙂
