Came across this just by chance the other day – Km0, or the very centre of Sevilla. And it’s just around the corner from my house. You might remember how I also found the Km0 of Andalucía a couple of years ago. Apparently the Km0 of Spain is in the Puerta del Sol in Madrid. Didn’t think of this when I was last in Madrid, but now am determined to complete the set. 🙂

Back in November I organised a Sherry Education afternoon with my fab We Love Tapas team. It was not only a lot of fun but everyone also learned a lot. Then a series of events led to me setting up a very interesting day of bodega visits this week, along with Pilar @enosherry. And then I thought… hey! Delia from WLT had still to visit a sherry bodega, even though she was born in Cádiz, so I invited her to come with us. Because you can never truly understand sherry until you have visited a bodega. And it was an amazing day. I’ll be updating my sherry bodegas page on Azahar Spain soon, so stay tuned.

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.

THAT shot of Calle Larios, with the tunnel of sparkly stars and moons.
It’s great to be back!

I’d seen this unusual bottle of PX fino posted on Instagram by a few of my food&wine pals, and to be honest thought that it was too gimicky for it to hold an exceptional wine. But I was wrong! I got to taste it at Andalucía Sabor the other day and not only loved it, but also got my interest piqued to start finding out more about Montilla-Moriles wines (sherry-style wines from Córdoba). But first I have to focus on sherry for the upcoming Sherry Educator course. One thing at a time…
