eslava, sevilla, tapas

sixto (2)

I can’t remember the first time I ever went to Eslava but it must have been something like 20-25 years ago. My first post for them on Sevilla Tapas is dated February 2008 and by then it had already become a solid favourite.

And today on the last day of February 2023 I went to see owner and long-time friend Sixto Tovar on his final day at this most beloved bar before he retires. He has handed the reins over to a couple of guys who run several bars/restaurants here and no doubt they’ll keep the business going. For me it will never be the same but I think this was a smart move and I wish Sixto and his wife Rosa all the best in their next chapter. Missing them already.

they’re baaack!

birthday, sevilla, tapas

bday mar-001

What the heck. It’s still January! So Mar and I went out to celebrate my on-going birthday, this time at El Cuelgue, a new spot that just opened up a couple of months ago. We were the first to arrive and the last to leave (even chef Santi left before we did!) and had a fun and delicious time.

sherry time (1)

Sherry time? Beer O’clock? How about tapas at any hour? It seems that some people are under the impression that I am either eating or drinking (or both) at the actual time I post food and wine photos on my various social media accounts. I mean, really? Sherry at 9 in the morning? Tapas at 11? You know, when bars haven’t even opened yet. Or else assuming that I am actually eating or drinking everything I post, which has led to more than a few fat-shaming comments (from assholes, obviously).

Truth is that I take a LOT of photos when I am out and about. This might be when I’m out for a cold beer, out for tapas with friends, on a tapas tour with clients, at an event, and sometimes even grabbing some shots of good looking stuff coming out of a restaurant kitchen when I’ve stopped somewhere for a quick sherry. I do this because people seem to like all the food pics I post on my Sevilla Tapas Twitter and Instagram, not to mention all the updates on the Sevilla Tapas website.

Later I spend quite a bit of time editing the photos and texts and putting them into drafts so I can easily post them when I want to. The only posts that go up in real time are my Beer O’clock ones, because they just take a minute. To be honest, it would be rude of me to spend all my time eating out with friends uploading pics and comments onto Instagram. It’s bad enough nobody can eat until I take photos of the food (the camera eats first!).

This week ought to confuse a few people since I am still putting up at least one photo a day, much like I did during lockdown. I bet more than a few are going to wonder how I’m out there having tapas when I’m supposed to be at home with Covid. At last count there are more than 40,000 photos in my iPhone, most of them food and wine related. So hey… the illusion is easy.
