Twitter does it again! Or rather, a Twitter-Instagram alliance in this case (we have a lot of virtual friends in common). As a result, I ended up meeting Carl for a quick fino, which then turned into an impromptu 7-hour Tapeo Extremo. It was a great afternoon (and evening) and Carl has even offered to be the first victim guest on this week’s preview of the new We Love Tapas Craft Beer & Tapas Tour. Stay tuned!

Last night I was invited to attend the launch of a new intimate venue at the Museo del Baile Flamenco. The room is long and low and seats 45 people in two rows, so there isn’t a bad seat in the house. And as you can see, there is also no stage (making it difficult to take photos) but I enjoyed the cosy ambiance. I also liked that it was totally accoustic – unplugged flamenco! It’s really as close as you can get to a peña with a professional show and I plan to start incorporating it into my Flamenco & Tapas Tours.

Our first We Love Tapas info brochures have arrived! Designed by the lovely and talented Aldara @AldaraAS, they’ll be given to clients at the end of their tour. Inside are food translations, recommended tapas bars and a city map. We always give people extra info by email, but this is something they can carry around with them. Lots of changes coming up for WLT for 2016 – watch this space!

Just to say how goddam lucky I am to be working with these three amazing young women. They are smart, intelligent, hard-working, dedicated…
This is after our sherry class last Sunday. All of them talking more about wines, our tours, new ideas. Love them.

Meet Mr & Mrs O (aka Ana and Simon O’Reilly). I’ve been Twitter pals with Ana @MrsOAroundTheWorld for ages and have enviously watched her post gorgeous travel pics on Twitter and Instagram. And finally, after twenty years, she returned to Sevilla for a weekend getaway to celebrate Simon’s birthday. They flew in with two friends on Friday evening and I was there to meet them at their hotel and whisk them off for a seriously fun (and delicious) tapeo. What can I say? I even ended up drinking gin cocktails! And rolled home some time after 2 am…
So once again the ol’ Twitter magic has brought more new and interesting people into my life. LOVE Twitter.
