The new We Love Tapas Sevilla Craft Beer & Tapas Tour is now a reality. We are taking bookings now, though it will be a bit patchy over Christmas holidays with one of our bars being closed. But by January they will be available every day except Sundays and Tuesdays. I’m very excited about this one. It all started in Málaga last summer when friends visiting from Ireland, after having discovered a great craft beer place there, casually mentioned that this might be a good idea for my tours. So the idea has been brewing (sorry) for awhile, but then came together very quickly this month with the invaluable help of the fabulous Aldara. In very quick order we’d sourced our locations, worked out the food pairings, and – most importantly – LEARNED enough about craft beer so we could share this new knowledge with our guests. It’s an interesting (and tasty) world and, like sherry, there is always something new to learn. So these tours are sure to evolve, but I’m very pleased with what we have created. Go WLT team!

Finally turned on! But ONLY turned on between 6.30 and 11.00 pm. Really? All LIGHTS OFF at 11 pm when the streets are still full of people, locals and holiday merry-makers alike? It makes me sad when I’m walking home after a Sevilla Tapas Tour to see the Christmas lights turned off… in Málaga they stay on until 2 am!

Last night I was invited to attend the launch of a new intimate venue at the Museo del Baile Flamenco. The room is long and low and seats 45 people in two rows, so there isn’t a bad seat in the house. And as you can see, there is also no stage (making it difficult to take photos) but I enjoyed the cosy ambiance. I also liked that it was totally accoustic – unplugged flamenco! It’s really as close as you can get to a peña with a professional show and I plan to start incorporating it into my Flamenco & Tapas Tours.

Our first We Love Tapas info brochures have arrived! Designed by the lovely and talented Aldara @AldaraAS, they’ll be given to clients at the end of their tour. Inside are food translations, recommended tapas bars and a city map. We always give people extra info by email, but this is something they can carry around with them. Lots of changes coming up for WLT for 2016 – watch this space!
I’m not a huge fan of the huge metal cones of light (especially this one that has blatant advertising for an insurance company on it) but it was pretty cool to be able to walk through it and be surrounded by lights.
