I know it’s difficult to tell one pigeon from another, but this guy has been coming into Las Teresas for years now. At least I think it’s the same guy, and Rafa the barman insists it’s the same bird. I did a bit of checking and it seems that the lifespan of a pigeon is only about 3-5 years in the wild, but domesticated ones can live up to 15 years. I reckon this one is somewhere in between, semi-domesticated, since he (she?) has a regular watering hole.

Going through old pics today, attempting to catch up on Sevilla Tapas updates, and I came across this one. Back in June, Carlos, the owner of Sevilla’s oldest bar – El Rinconcillo – took out this old sign to show us which reads “Spitting on the floor not allowed for hygienic reasons”. They still have the “no singing” sign up, but apparently this one is no longer necessary.

It was a night off from tapas tours, so of course I ended up hanging out in bars. Actually, it was mixing pleasure with business as I had to meet with a couple of bar owners, and then wanted to check out a newly opened place. Meanwhile I managed to get this cool shot at Las Teresas. I had never really noticed that hand-painted plate on the wall and to get closer to it I had to go behind the bar. Then Rafa bought us a round on the house and we chatted for another half hour or so. I love this bar, I love the people who run it, the guys who work there, and I’ve been going there for over 20 years. Just like with most of the bars I’ve ended up working with. It’s an amazing job when you don’t really notice when you’re working or when you’re just there socialising. Love my job.
It’s orange and lemon season in Sevilla.
After suffering through an hour surrounded by pijos at a new bar opening, this was the antidote. Sevilla’s oldest bar. Felt like myself again…
