We did it! A very special night out with 45 guests who were here all week for conference meetings, and who asked me to arrange something nice for their final evening in Sevilla. And it was fabulous. But I couldn’t have done it without these two… nor without this guy…

And special thanks to the always fabulous Vineria San Telmo team. They are the best! And the best compliment ever? That we turned a corporate event into something that felt very personal. 🙂

Meeting up with Anna @annamayer and Jorge @jorgeguitian (aka @guitianmayer) is always fun, and last night was no exception. We started off with a wine tasting at Gourmet Experience, then headed off for a short tapeo, starting with traditional tapas at 150 year old Bodega San Lorenzo. We finished the evening at the always fab La Azotea, where Anna came up with my brilliant new nickname: SHAWN OF THE BREAD. Come back soon guys!

Twitter strikes again! My pal Rachel @R_McCormack put me in touch with Pritesh @luvfoodluvdrink and Tareena @TareenaMakeUp when she saw them looking for some Sevilla info on Twitter. I was booked with tours all week but sent them a nice list of fab tapas bars to try out. Then on their last day in town we met up for a quick tapeo, which left me with two new lovely London friends (who may end up becoming lovely Spain friends). I hope so!

Today’s first ever Triana Tapas Tour was a resounding success, in spite of The Weather, which decided to turn very wet and a bit nasty. But we managed to mostly dodge the worst of it and had a great time visiting the market, having a picnic, and then carrying on to two very well-known bars in Triana. Looking forward to many more!

The POWER OF TWITTER strikes again! A couple of months ago my friend José Pizarro sent me a Twitter message asking if I could give his friend Sarah some help on her trip here, saying he knew I’d look after her well. And so I got in touch with Sarah by email and we made some plans, including meeting up on the evening she and her husband Matthew arrived (Friday) to take them on a tapas tour. And what a great time it was. We went to three bars and, as Sarah is doing research for a book on marmalage, I think it was especially fun for her to get a recipe from chef José María at our last stop La Azotea. So once again my life has been enriched by simply hanging out on Twitter and continuing to connect with people. Love it.
