elba

I’ve been following Elbah on both Twitter and Instagram for ages. She is not only as obsessive about posting fab food pics as I am, but a lot of her photos are taken in Sevilla and Málaga. So a few days ago I left a comment under one of her Sevilla food pics that we should meet for a tapita one of these days, and she agreed that this would be a great idea.

Then, when I was walking home from the Sherry On Top event on Wednesday evening, Peter and I decided to stop into Tradevo Centro for a penúltima. On the way in I spotted a spectacular looking fish dish and asked the people sitting at the table if they would mind if I took a photo of it (yeah, I know…). And one of the women said “Are you Azahar???” and we both went a bit crazy then, laughing and hugging like old friends. Of course, it was Elbah. And it turns out we are actually neighbours! So plans are now afoot to do some serious Tapas Research together. LOVE social media…

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.

friends, sevilla, tapas, twitter

with jamonAnother reason to keep on loving Twitter. After at least a couple of years, maybe more, of mutually following the fabulous Thane Prince @ThanePrince on Twitter we finally got to meet up. Which only seemed right after I actually stayed at Thane & Bob’s fabulous Málaga flat last December. Which obviously also came about via Twitter, and because we have so many Twitter and RL friends in common.

Anyhow, since Thane & Bob are in Málaga this week they decided to do a short getaway to Sevilla, spend the night, and basically eat loads of tapas with me. And drink sherry. And then eat and drink some more. Which we did.

So much fun. I felt immediately at home with them… two very distinct personalities, but somehow perfectly matched. And both funny as hell. I especially felt like I’d scored big points every time I made Bob laugh. So it was a wonderful day of lunchtime tapas, followed by a siesta, and meeting up again later that same night for more tapas and wine, finishing off with midnight drinks on the rooftop of Gourmet Experience. And then a farewell jamón snack the next afternoon (because you can never have too much jamón).

Now I can’t wait to repeat this in Málaga with our mutual friend Victor @welovemalaga. We also might meet up in London this summer! More on that later…

corner house (1)co-owners Sandra & Nacho

Yesterday morning as I was scrolling around Twitter I saw a friend’s post about a new hotel and bar that had just opened in Sevilla. So later on when I was looking for a destination for an evening stroll I decided to wander over to the Alameda and check it out. Turned out I walked right into the hotel’s opening party!

The Corner House boutique hotel and adjoining El Disparate tapas bar are the latest from dynamic duo Sandra and Nacho, co-owners of one of Sevilla’s better restaurants, El Gallinero de Sandra, which they founded in 1993. The Corner House took just nine months from conception to reality (“Just like a baby!” said Nacho) and it looks like a fun and stylish addition to the barrio. I’ll be back again soon to take a tour of the hotel (just 12 rooms), the rooftop and – of course – try the tapas. Meanwhile, it was a lovely way to spend a Sunday evening.

Wine Wednesday. The perfect day to pop over to Bodeguita Romero for a free tasting of Tío Mateo fino from Bodegas Marqués de Real Tesoro (now part of Grupo Estevez). Well, any excuse really…

wine wednesday (2)

Bodeguita Romero has one of the most interesting sherry lists in town, thanks to Alejandro Romero. And also some of the best tapas… wine wednesday (3)
