cinema paradiso, ennio morricone, italy, music, spain

It was after seeing the opening scene of this film in the summer of 1990, that gorgeous view with THAT music, that I decided I had to move to Spain. And yes, I know that’s Italy, have never quite been able to work out how I ended up choosing Spain. But I’m so glad I did.

Thank you for getting me started on my new life, Ennio. ❤

concert, kiko veneno, lope de vega teatro, music, sevilla

Kiko Veneno has been part of my Sevilla soundtrack since I first arrived here and last night I got to see him perform at the gorgeous Lope de Vega Theatre. Some of the old songs took me back to younger days… and then I realised something. That as nice as some of those old times were, I think these are now my best times. Well, fat old body and stiff knees aside. I’m actually more ME than I have ever been, I’m doing work that I love, and most days I almost like myself. So thanks for the memories, Kiko, but I think I’ll stay here in the present. It was a fun concert in fab surroundings, and on the way home I stopped for a tapita at Bodeguita Romero, chatting with everyone there. Yep, this is my town.

Coming home the other day I saw this woman and her little dog. In fact, I have seen her many times over the years, but this time I stopped to say hello. Constancia is from Romania and spends her days entertaining passersby with her accordion, and she’s really quite good. Glad l stopped to chat.

This is Carlos González. We've known each other by sight for over 20 years. Finally one day a couple of months ago we stopped to chat. You can find Carlos almost every night in the Plaza de Triunfo next to the Cathedral in #Sevilla. He's a lovely man and a brillant guitarist.

This is Carlos González. We’ve known each other by sight for well over 20 years. I remember many times returning exhausted after evening English classes and being soothed by his lovely guitar playing as I passed him on my way home. These days I pass him on my tapas tours and clients are always charmed.

Then one day a couple of months ago we saw each other in the street, in a different part of town and we both stopped – suddenly both out of context – and then I said… “hey, I know you!”. And we started to chat. You can find Carlos almost every evening in the Plaza del Triunfo next to the Cathedral in Sevilla. Stop by and listen (and buy one of his CDs!). He’s a lovely man and a brilliant guitarist.

sherryontop (1)Sherry and live music on various Sevilla hotel rooftops with spectacular views… what’s not to love? Last night I was invited by Vinos de Jerez to the opening Sherry On Top event at the Hotel Inglaterra. It was great fun, with a sherry tasting (fino, oloroso, cream cocktail) followed by music by local band Los Quiero and more sherry cocktails.
