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…

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)

north southToday I got to introduce two good friends to each other: Anna (Galicia) and Victor (Málaga). We met up for a quick lunch at Las Teresas and had a fabulous time. Looking forward to seeing Victor again on his home turf during my next Málaga Getaway in June. And there are also plans afoot for me to visit Anna in Santiago de Compostela (first time ever!) in August. Other getaways may include San Sebastían and London. Looks like it’s going to be a busy summer.

mary and sundayToday I FINALLY got to meet fellow-blogger Mary Biles and her lovely pup Sunday. We met for lunch at a bar neither of us had been to before (and probably won’t visit again) but mediocre food was saved by good company and LOTS of chat. Mary has been writing I Know A Little Place In Sevilla – one of the best blogs about the city – for about three years. As the title suggests, it focuses on hidden corners and lesser-know spots, many of which I’ve never heard of. Very happy to have met another kindred spirit and – I hope – another Tapas Research cohort.
