cancer, friends, Malaga, malaga getaway, tapas

ann shawn

I met Ann Larson a couple of years ago and we hit it off. But you know, she lives in fucking Yunquera, beyond Ronda, so never knew if we would manage to get together again. Then Ann got cancer. And it turned out she liked talking to me about all that shit, because (you know!) I don’t talk shit about that shit. So we became good friends, but only saw each other again today in Málaga. This is us after 4 glasses of Botani – really the only time I can be convinced to do a selfie. Check out Anne’s fabulous line of natural beauty and skin care products that she makes herself, called Lujos. You know you want some.

Malaga, malaga getaway, tapas

malaga december 2015

As you can see, yesterday was a very busy day. Aldara and I hit the ground running after arriving in Málaga just before 2 pm, dropping our bags off at my “temporary home” in order to get to Café Bar Atarazanas before it closed. Then we stopped in at a couple of other tapas bars before meeting up with my friend Andrew for a quick visit. Later that evening we went to a couple more of my favourite tapas bars. But to put it all into perspective… Aldara and I shared 5 tapas for lunch, and then shared 4 tapas for dinner. Not masses of food, but it was a serious Málaga “tasting menu” with tasty bites of this and that. As for that brownie you see up there… nothing to do with me.

jm and reyes

Believe it or not, these are two friends that I didn’t meet on Twitter! Juan Manuel and Reyes are the heart and soul of the Vineria San Telmo, one of my favourite tapas bars in Sevilla. And well, that’s how I first met Juan, by being a regular customer. Later when I started my Sevilla Tapas Tours the Vineria became one of the stops (depending on the tour) and we began working together too. Then Reyes, who for years had been responsible for the amazing Vineria desserts, opened her own storefront bakery Gollerías, now my “go to” place if I ever need a cake for a special event. Anyhow, ran into them both at the Vineria the other day and took this photo. Seriously two of the nicest people you could ever meet and I’m very lucky to be able to call them my friends.  🙂

craft beer toursThe new We Love Tapas Sevilla Craft Beer & Tapas Tour is now a reality. We are taking bookings now, though it will be a bit patchy over Christmas holidays with one of our bars being closed. But by January they will be available every day except Sundays and Tuesdays. I’m very excited about this one. It all started in Málaga last summer when friends visiting from Ireland, after having discovered a great craft beer place there, casually mentioned that this might be a good idea for my tours. So the idea has been brewing (sorry) for awhile, but then came together very quickly this month with the invaluable help of the fabulous Aldara. In very quick order we’d sourced our locations, worked out the food pairings, and – most importantly – LEARNED enough about craft beer so we could share this new knowledge with our guests. It’s an interesting (and tasty) world and, like sherry, there is always something new to learn. So these tours are sure to evolve, but I’m very pleased with what we have created. Go WLT team!

Malaga, sevilla, tapas, we love tapas

wlt info

Our first We Love Tapas info brochures have arrived! Designed by the lovely and talented Aldara @AldaraAS, they’ll be given to clients at the end of their tour. Inside are food translations, recommended tapas bars and a city map. We always give people extra info by email, but this is something they can carry around with them. Lots of changes coming up for WLT for 2016 – watch this space!
