This week Deb and Claire were back in town and I was lucky enough to meet up with them twice! Last time Deb came in October and it was a bit too early for her to pick up her L’Armanaque de Sevilla for this 2026 so I managed to get them both a fridge magnet of the calendar cover from Alfredo (better than nuthin’).

We had two lovely lunches together, first at La Cochera del Abuelo and then Augurio. It was also Birthday Week for Claire so we toasted her birthday as well as Deb’s (almost) early retirement and, of course, Dan Jamón. Several times. It’s been great having them back again.

bullfighters, friends, sevilla, tapas

I can’t remember the last time I saw Michelle and Chris (they can’t remember either) but we reckon it was during a visit to Málaga (they live in Estepona) when we had cocktails on a rooftop bar and were entertained by a bullfighter strutting around naked in his hotel room, curtains wide open (he knew what he was doing). Last night we were also entertained by bullfighters, but fully dressed this time, when we stopped for a nightcap at the Hotel Colón on the way home.

But before that we had met up at Cafetería Donald and spent the evening catching up and just enjoying each others company, along with some lovely tapas and wine. Good times.

sevilla, tapas, tapas bars

Spotted on my way home today, at a bar that used to be a lovely family-run spot and is now yet another ZOMBIE BAR.

Dear customers,
please use the tables only for the time necessary to eat.
Please do not occupy them while waiting for the rest of the diners.
Thank you.

cathy’s back!

friends, sevilla, tapas

Cathy is back in town this week and today we met up for a quick catch up. Last time (actually also the first time) I saw her was back in 2019. We started off at Manolo Cateca for a cheeky sherry before heading over to La Barra de Cañabota, which Cathy hadn’t been to for. A lovely time, delicious bites and lots of chat. See you soon, Cathy!

bluesky, david simon, sevilla, tapas, the wire

Whenever I’m asked what my favourite tapas bar is (and I get asked that a LOT) or even my top five, I can never answer. Likewise with my favourite song or movie. You know, it always depends. My mood, the weather… lots of variables to consider. But if anyone ever asks me what my favourite TV series of all time is I do not hesitate… it’s The Wire. It just is. Nothing else even comes close. I have followed its creator and writer David Simon on social media for years, first on Twitter and now on Bluesky, and this past weekend THIS happened. Stay tuned…
