Twitter magic strikes again! Thanks to the wonderfulness that is Twitter, Sarah and Derek booked a tapas tour with me. And then I found out that they run Bray’s Cottage Pork Pies in Norfolk, UK – home of THE perfect pork pie. And they brought me THREE PIES as a gift. And so I couldn’t just give them my usual tour, and offered them a Deluxe Tapas tour. Five bars in four hours… lots of tapas, lots of chat, lots of fun. And now I can’t wait to try those pies!

The other day a Finnish TV producer called Tony got in touch saying he was going to be in town doing research for a series on Andalusian food, wine and culture and asked if we could meet up. Which of course led to an afternoon Tapeo Extremo, showing Tony, TV chef & presenter Sikke and their friend Eeva around town, and introducing them to several of my favourite bars. And of course they HAD to have a pringá at Bodeguita Romero.
It was an epic afternoon, meeting new friends, lots of walking and talking, and LOTS of sherry too. Looking forward to seeing them again when they come to film in March.

A couple of weeks ago I was interviewed by ABC Sevilla for an article about my tapas tours and my role as “tapas ambassador” in Sevilla. The article actually came out in print last Saturday but I only saw a copy of it yesterday (I had been on the lookout for an online version, which should be published soon).
I was very happy to be chosen for this article because the thing I am most proud of, in terms of my work here the past few years, is having become an acknowledged (by locals!) food and wine expert in the city, and also for having helped so many visitors better appreciate Spanish (and specifically Andalusian) cuisine. I have some irons in the fire this year to not only continue with my mission but also to expand on it. Watch this space! 🙂

Posted in tapas, tapas tours, we love tapas
We Love Tapas started up a collaboration with ELECMOVE last year, offering a Cycling & Tapas Tour and this week the WLT Team was able to enjoy the cycle tour first hand. On electric bikes! It was kind of amazing, like suddenly having super powers. Here are a few scenes from our fab cycling morning out together, followed by (of course) a few tapas…
WLT Team: Delia, Sara, Ania & Aldara
