hiringBecome a part of the We Love Tapas Team!

These past couple of “weeks off” have been both relaxing and very productive. Lots of time for new ideas and research with some exciting new stuff coming up soon. As a result, We Love Tapas is now looking for enthusiastic local guides with food and wine experience for our team in Sevilla. After full training, guides will give both lunchtime and evening tours (number per week depending on the season), each lasting 2.5 to 4 hours, and will be expected to attend monthly staff meetings and periodic (delicious) training sessions.

Requirements:

  • Bilingual English / Spanish
  • Native or long-term resident of Sevilla
  • Registered as “autónomo” for freelance work
  • Genuine love of Spanish cuisine and excellent people skills

You will also need to have access to internet at home, and a smartphone, so that you can be kept up to date about your tour bookings, changes and other information.

spanish wiringThis always cracks me up, and also leaves me wondering why there aren’t more electrical fires here. And this isn’t even the most extreme case I’ve seen – I just liked the shadow play on the wall.

spanish roofIn 1990 I moved to an apartment in Bristol, England that had what I called my “Spanish kitchen”. It also had a view of a “Spanish roof” from my bedroom window. It was a Spanish kitchen to me because the tiles were terracotta, and the Spanish roof, that looked like this photo, was on a nearby building (not sure why because this isn’t a typical roof style for Bristol). Both those things kept me dreaming about moving to my new home, and then I got a job at a tapas bar there! I was convinced I was on the right path, so even when I was asked to stay in Bristol and manage the bar… I just had to go. I was reminded of my Bristol “Spanish roof” during my Staycation at the Doña María Hotel. This was one of the views from their rooftop.

getaways, sevilla staycation, seville, spain

staycationsIntroducing Sevilla Staycations! Along with my usual hotel reviews and recommendations on Azahar Sevilla and Azahar Spain, I rather like this idea of taking brief staycation getaways in my home town and finding fun things to do outside my typical day-to-day, as well as focusing on what the hotel has to offer. Well, as you can see, this particular staycation tended to be tapas oriented (surprise!) but it’s also not usual for me to be sitting by a cool pool in the middle of a sunny afternoon, or be up on a fabulous rooftop bar at 1 am.

This time I was invited by the Doña María Hotel, a renovated palace that has long had one of my favourite rooftop terraces with killer views. On each staycation I will have a guest with me, and this time it was good ol’ Peter @SVQconcierge. Also, not all staycations will be “invited”. I want to mix it up a bit and, of course, the free stays do not guarantee top ratings. All opinions will be my own based on my experiences. Hotel reviews and Sevilla Staycation experiences will be published separately on Azahar Spain and Azahar Sevilla. Olé!

seville, spain, tapas, world tapas day

world tapas dayWhen I first heard a few months ago that Turismo España had declared that the third Thursday in June was to become known as World Tapas Day, an international celebration of tapas, I was so excited. I started thinking about activities I could either create or help promote and waited to hear more. And waited. And then waited some more. But it turned out that there was very little going on in Spain, with nothing – I repeat, NOTHING – organised for the self-proclaimed Tapas Capital of the world. And most bar owners I talked to here hadn’t even heard about it. So, big time fail, and a real disappointment. Perhaps the city will get their shit together for next year.
