crosses to bear

Spotted these guys while on a tapas tour. They were transporting wooden crosses from a van parked in Plaza Santa Cruz to… wherever. Probably the Santa Cruz Church. These will be carried by some of the Nazarenos (others carry long candles) during the Semana Santa processions. There is so much preparation that goes into this crazy week (I like it, but it really is crazy) that I find my heart aching for everyone who is going to be devastated by the seriously rainy-stormy weather, forecasted to start Palm Sunday. Let’s hope things clear up! Because if it rains, nothing happens.

premio (1)

So honoured to receive this award (despite the typo! 😉 )… it’s still amazing to me that what started as a hobby 9 years ago has turned into a growing business, helping visitors learn about and enjoy the wonderful gastronomy of my adopted city. Being recognised by the Gourmets de Sevilla and Fogones de Sevilla organisations is a huge deal. This award was for best personal promotion of Sevilla’s gastronomy via my blogs, social media and food tours. And I was in excellent company as my friend Juan Gomez (La Azotea) and Michelin star chef Julio Fernández (Abantal) also won awards that evening. premio (2)As you can see, Morcilla had to get her nose into the SWAG.premio (3)Too bad they didn’t let this person paint the plaque. 😛
