Aside from offering my own Sherry & Tapas Pairings, and launching the new Sherry & Tapas tour with We Love Tapas during Sherry Week 2016, I went out with trusty sidekick Peter @SVQconcierge to sample a few of the Ruta de Tapas offerings by local bars. We only managed 9 bars, but oh well…

It’s not often I get so excited about a new tapa at a bar, especially if it’s just going to be either a one-off or occasional daily special. But the other day while on a tapas tour I came across these judiones in the cold salads showcase at Las Teresas and knew I had to try them. Basically REALLY BIG white beans (these are Judioines de la Granja from Segovia), cooked until tender and then marinated in olive oil with garlic, and tossed with spring onion and jamón. HEAVEN.

It was my first Finos Palmas tasting since 2013, so I was pretty excited when I got an invitation to this year’s special event in Sevilla, which was held in the exquisite Palacio de las Dueñas. Read all about it (and see more pics!) over here on Azahar’s Sevilla…

I love Christmas, and I am particularly looking forward to THIS Christmas because friends Julie & Steve (aka the Cheeky Pigs) are coming to Sevilla to spend the holidays with ME! 🙂
But this… this is way too early Butlers. It’s not even November! I actually liked the good ol’ days when the Christmas street lights were turned on every year on December 8th (Immaculate Conception) and turned off again on January 6th (Epiphany), and even El Corte Inglés didn’t light up until December. But it gets earlier every year.
