I’ve known Gabriella (@tenedor on Twitter) for years and we’ve often talked about me going up to visit her in San Sebastian (which may actually happen this summer). But then she was suddenly in Sevilla and so of course we had to meet up and go out on a “tapeo extremo”. It was a fabulous afternoon – also the first long outing I’ve done without crutches in six weeks! – and we really hit it off. I was introducing Gabriella to the various bar owners as the “Shawn of San Sebastian” except she is actually on a whole other level as you can see by her website: Tenedor Tours.

Of course at the end of this fabulous tapeo I got to come home and put my feet up for the rest of the evening while Gabriella had to get back to work with the clients she had brought to town. Really hoping to get a chance to do pinxtos with her soon and, who knows, maybe drop in on the Arzaks. But mostly it would just be fun to hang out with her again. The list of fabulous people I’ve met via Twitter continues to grow…
