Yet another Twitter/Instagram Pal, Paul @pauljwhite is from Newcastle but he spends a lot of time travelling, especially to Spain. We first met in person earlier this year when he was in Sevilla and he’s been back a couple of times since. And guess what? He loves doing Tapas Research!

He was also very helpful this time because one of our dishes arrived way overcooked. As I had already *ahem* mentioned a couple of other things to the waiter I asked Paul if he could send back the offending tapa. Well, Paul speaks next to no Spanish, and the waiter spoke no English, so I called the waiter over and just pointed to Paul, who picked up a piece of the dried out solomillo with such a perfect scowly face and kind of shook the dead meat around… that plate was removed SO FAST and was quickly replaced with a perfectly cooked version. Ha.

Looking forward to Paul’s next visit in January, and to meeting his daughter Molly. 🙂

twitter 10th (and 12th) anniversaries

This month marks my 10th Twitter anniversary for @SevillaTapas, though I actually first joined in March 2007 as @azahar, to accompany this blog. I’ve had a couple other accounts over the years but those two remain my main ones, along with my sister food tour company @welovetapastour, started in November 2014.

Out of all the social media platforms Twitter has been the one that has brought the most people into my life, and it has also been a constant source of entertainment and information. I never understand people who complain about Twitter, since it’s entirely up to us who we follow. When did you first join?

Twitter strikes again! Claudia @clauciagcbell and I have been following each other on both Twitter and Instagram for AGES (neither of us can remember how long) and we finally got to meet up this weekend. In fact, they have been in town for the past couple of weeks, but “this and that” kept getting in the way. And so we met up to do some Tapas Research together at a restaurant in Triana I had never been to before.

It was a great afternoon and felt like being out with old friends. More Tapas Research and other visits are planned for the rest of their stay here. And with a bit of luck they will also become my new neighbours.  🙂

Another treat during my San Sebastián Getaway was finally getting to meet Caroline (aka @floweries1) and her husband Steve. We’ve been Twitter pals for ages and they have already chalked up 11 visits to Donostia, so when I found out our next visits were going to coincide we made plans to meet up. It was a great evening out and now I am looking forward to when they are FINALLY going to visit Sevilla with friends in November.
