I have a dodgy internet connection here in Zahara so can’t get online much, but here are a few quick images of my weekend away. Having a great time – back in Sevilla mañana…

zahara de los atunes cata
29 Wednesday Jun 2011
Remember how I was supposed to go to Vejer and Zahara de los Atunes a couple of weeks ago. Then what with a sick kitteh and other issues, I decided it would be best to stay home. But not this weekend!
Azar has been doing great the past couple of weeks and so I am going to join two of my clients (and friends) for a fabulous food and wine tasting (una cata) with tuna almadraba from La Sal and the amazing wines from Jorge Ordoñez & Co. in Zahara de Los Atunes on the Cádiz coast. Will be going on Saturday and probably coming home again sometime Monday. Agustín says I can stay at their place so it’ll just cost me bus fare and a meal or two. Really really looking forward to it!
feria 2011

I went to the Feria with Nog yesterday afternoon.
It was almost as fun as waking up with my house on fire…
Afterwards we went to the hospital to get my chemo port flushed out,
which we both enjoyed much more.

Sunny & warm (18ºC) and these oranges are more than ready to be harvested.
Off to go work in the sunshine on the terrace…

…aka Los Reyes Magos or Three Kings Day
This celebration typically marks the end of the festive season in Spain, though I always extend it one day more to include my birthday (natch). Last night there was the cabalgata, a parade featuring Los Reyes Magos who ride around on floats tossing sweets out to the hoards of children that line the route, and at midnight the Christmas lights were switched off. Today there will be family dinners with gifts (giving presents on Christmas Eve/Day is a relatively new practice here), then tomorrow kids go back to school and normal life begins again. Though I’m actually working today and have a biz meeting at 5 o’clock – beats just sitting around waiting for my English students to come back from their holidays.
Planned to have an epiphany today but, you know…
