It was an absolute treat last week to be invited by my friend Fiona to be her “plus one” for lunch at brand new Fismuler in the equally new Serras Sevilla 5-star GL hotel. Food, wine, service – and company! – were just perfect. Review coming soon on Sevilla Tapas.

After lunch I tagged along as Fiona was taken on a journalist tour (she was spending the night at the hotel for a newspaper write up) and we visited a couple of local craftspeople, which turned out to be very interesting, especially the Juan Foronda shawl store where we got a demonstration on “reviving” tangled fringe. THEN my favourite flamenco dancer – Rosa Belmonte – walked in and I went all fan girl. I mean, what were the odds? After that I ended up at the Serras rooftop bar where Peter joined me to pick up his “doggie bag” of leftovers from lunch. Finally got home around 10pm – fun day!
