Today is World Tapas Day – Día Mundal de la Tapa – which takes place every 16th of June. This year it was accompanied by a petition to have the Tapeo recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Here is the link if you would like to go and show support for that. And now, go out for some tapas!

The last time I was in Jerez for Vinoble in 2024 I stayed at two different hotels as I had won a night at 5 star GL Casa Palacio María Luisa in a raffle draw but of course couldn’t afford to stay another night there on my own dime. Then I happened upon Boutique Palacio Corredera and booked them (actually for the first night) and, if I’m totally honest, I actually preferred that stay over the luxe experience. So this time, going back for two nights again, I knew this was where I wanted to stay. Only problem? Their standard double rooms only come with double beds and, while Peter and I are good friends and all, separate beds are preferable. But we decided that, for the price, we could spend a couple of nights bunking down in the same bed.
Turns out we didn’t have to worry because they also have suites there and, as I had requested two beds and they had a suite available, we got an upgrade. And holy moly… what an upgrade! I can’t post vids here but you can see the instagram ones I made when we checked in (there are two because it was a duplex room and part 2 is for upstairs). If you look at the photo you can see the suite was actually the two top floors of the second building on the left. Wow.
Not only was the suite gorgeous (with our own private lift!) but the hotel is also so comfy. There’s a little coffee room where you can go any time of the day and help yourself to a coffee or some chilled water. And if you’re not lucky enough to have your own private terrace (which I only discovered off the upstairs bedroom on the second day) here’s also a lovely open air patio downstairs and several sitting rooms if you don’t want to be in your room. Cannot recommend this place enough
