While I was at Finca Buenvino I also picked up my very own (signed!!) copy of their wonderful cookbook. An unpretentious gem of a book, you will fall in love not only with the homespun recipes, but also with the history behind this beautiful guest house and its charming and welcoming hosts.

I first met Pritesh @luvfoodluvdrink and Tareena @TareenaMakeUp back in 2015 when they came to Sevilla. So I was excited when Pritesh got in touch last week to say they would be coming back, this time with their daughter Skye. They were also travelling with Tareena’s sister, her husband and baby daughter, so it was a real family affair.
After setting them up with a few “family friendly” places to eat over the weekend we finally got a chance to meet up for a quick drink during their last lunch in town before catching their flight home. Good times. 🙂

Roma, John & Jane
So Jane & John were back in town this past week. They’d told me of their plans for a return visit quite awhile ago and I was looking forward to spending time with them, but then the London trip suddenly came up and I ended up being away for most of their visit. But we had a lovely lunch at Vida Loca yesterday, and today met up one more time at La Barra de Inchausti for a last meal together.
With Roma! Who just arrived in Sevilla yesterday. I first met Roma on a tapas tour in 2014 and she has been back to Spain a few times since then. We last saw each other in Córdoba a couple of years ago when Peter & I went to “do feria” with her there. It’s very seldom (if ever?) that my various friends from around the globe end up meeting, so this was fun. Also looking forward to a quick trip to Cádiz with Roma over the weekend.
A short & sweet visit with Victor today, a quick beer, a couple of tapas…
