It was a very special Wine Wednesday with a cava tasting at Delatierra Vinoteca with wines from Bodega L’Origan presented by founder Carlos Martínez. Ranging from light, fresh “drinkable” wines to more complex “toasty” ones it was proof once again that not only is there a cava for everyone, but also that it pairs with pretty much everything. Really good time, thanks Hiniesta & Carlos!

Well why not, eh? Actually this wasn’t JUST because it was Wednesday. Remember when I renewed my residency card last month? Well it turned out that Peter hadn’t renewed his yet and, the last time he did, he was given some dodgy paper card that didn’t look official at all. So what with Brexit and all, and hearing stories about Brits being kicked out of various European countries (only allowed to return as short-stay visitors) I was worried that maybe Peter had been the victim of botched paperwork. So although it was a bit nervous-making it seemed best to bite the bullet and hope for the best. And phew! Seems the weird paper card was an interim thing for Brits while Brexit stuff was being sorted out and so Peter went through the process without a hitch. So on the way home we stopped for a celebratory glass of cava and a bit of jamón. Like you do.

It occurred to me yesterday that this week I’m actually ON HOLIDAY! Well, not totally, as I am still catching up on photo editing and reviews for Sevilla Tapas, and I am also finishing a magazine article I was asked to write… but no tours this week. I guess I should be concerned, but it’s actually fine. Gives me time to work on other projects, and my fab We Love Tapas team continues to be amazing. So I am good with this.

And so since this past weekend I’ve been focusing on getting THOSE WALKS in, at least 10,000 steps a day. Today’s walk culminated with this gorgeously fresh lemon sorbet and cava dessert at Becerrita, where we’d stopped in for a tapita. Everyone who knows me knows that I (almost) never eat desserts. I’m (almost) totally a savoury person. But combining cava with super tart lemony sorbet? I’m in. Especially when dessert is on the house, as this one is at Becerrita until the end of this week. Score!
