oh really

Yeah yeah… I know they say that imitation is a form of flattery, but I mean look at this fucker. New Instagram account basically calling his tours by the same name as mine. And it’s not like he doesn’t know me, or who I am. For the past year or so I have noticed this guy almost everywhere I go on my tapas tours. So not only copying my tours but also my name??

You’d think that if you were starting up a food tour company you would choose a distinct name so that it wouldn’t be confused with one that has been established for 15 years… oh wait. UNLESS THAT IS THE POINT. It’s actually a bit pathetic that he doesn’t want to build his brand on his own.

Anyhoodle… fuck him. Also, if you have to describe yourself as THE BEST (as he does on his website, in very poor English) then you clearly aren’t. I mean, this guy isn’t going to take away any business from me, but it irks that he thinks he can by appropriating my brand. Jerk.

The other day I took out a lovely couple, Jacquie and Dennis, on an evening tapas tour. Like many people they found me in Rick Steves guide book, so I mentioned that Rick had been here in May and that I had taken him out, then I showed them this photo (don’t peek yet) and Dennis said “He looks just like me with that beard!” (apparently Rick is usually clean shaven). And when Dennis found out he was sitting in the very same chair Rick had sat in at Salmedina he said “let’s recreate this photo!”. So we did. Can you tell which is the real Rick Steves?

Another Sherry & Tapas Tour and another meet up with an Instagram pal I’ve “known” for ages and finally got to meet in person. Sarah and Ian are here for a few days and so we started things off right with a delicious afternoon bar-hopping and hugging the buildings for shade (it’s getting hot out there!). Social media and my tours have brought so many lovely people into my life.

hasta pronto nell!

nell

This lovely lady has been a part of my We Love Tapas team this past year and almost from day one she started micro-managing me (!!). And I loved it. Seriously this girl kept me on my toes! I loved it because it meant that she took her tasks seriously and she honestly showed a level of dedication and professionalism well beyond her years. On top of all that she’s been a wonderfully charming, knowledgeable and caring host for our tapas tour guests. Everyone who’s met her has sung her praises. So today we had a little lunch out as next week Nell starts on a new chapter of her life for the next year. Missing her already.

Best of luck Nell! I know you’ll excel at anything you put your mind to. And many many thanks to her mum and long-time friend Lynsey @larosilla for bringing us together.
