foodiehub awards (1)
It was a great day. First all the Foodie Hub experts had a tapas tour in Málaga, visiting four amazing bars. After that we were whisked off to Marbella for the presentation of the first Essential Tapas Guide and the first annual awards for Best Tapa in Spain. And I was thrilled that one of my choices (the pringá montadito at Bodeguita Romero) won for best traditional tapa. Lots more to say about this, for now this is just a quick update.

First day in Málaga was happily spent with my friend Gabriella Ranelli @tenedor, who flew in early for the big Foodie Hub awards event. So I was tapas tour guide for the day and we had a great time catching up while I showed her around town and organised the final details with all the bars we would go to on Saturday. Once again I found myself thinking about how I could manage to live in Málaga part time. More on that later…

san lorenzo
August 10th is San Lorenzo day and keeping up with a tradition that began (for me) a couple of years ago I headed over to the Antigua Abacería San Lorenzo to take part in the festivities. Grilled flesh was on offer (the martyr San Lorenzo was put to a slow and painful death on top of a large gridiron with live coals beneath it and, the legend concludes that, after enduring the pain for a very long time he made his famous cheerful remark, “I’m well done. Turn me over!”) as well as a typical white wine punch from Huelva called ponche alosnero. San Lorenzo is also the patron saint of cooks and chefs. It all works. Click on the link above to read more about the bar and this unusual annual event.

170 sherries

DISCOVERY OF THE YEAR. Seriously, how did I not know about this place?? Less than five minutes from my house, a small charming bar that serves over 170 (!!!) sherries by the glass. I have to thank Jaime from Bodegas Faustino González in Jerez for this “discovery” after he told me last week where I could find his spectacular wines (all en rama) in Sevilla. Say hello to my new local…
