quentin amoreena (1)

Say hola to Amoreena @amyalena and Quentin from Texas. I was out for lunch with my friend Eduardo @EBlancoTravel and these two were sitting a couple of tables over. We ended up chatting and were having such a nice time that we also ended up going out to bar Las Teresas for cava afterwards. I gave Q & A some tips on where to have tapas on their last night in town and they had a great time going back to Teresas for jamón and then over to Bodeguita Romero for – what else? – their famous pringá (and a few other things). Lovely meeting new friends over good food and wine.

Of course Edu and I foolishly went on for more cava afterwards… #deperdidosalrio

new malaga bars
So many bars, so little time. I managed to visit eight new bars in Málaga. Either brand new, new to me, or a new version of one I knew before. And except for one (spoiled by crap service) they were all delightful. I also visited some of my old favourites, a couple of great breakfast places, and a fab new bar that mostly specialises in vermouth and smiles. I’ll have to go back to that one. Hope to get these places written up soon on Azahar Tapas… Bar Mercado Central N°1, La Luz de Candela, Óleo, Señor Lobo, Barra de Soho, Vinería Cervantes, Añil Croquetería and the new Uvedoble.

los gatos
This is my home away from home when I’m in Málaga, my meeting place, my office… Los Gatos. It’s amazing. You can get tasty snacks there, lots of different tapas, full meals (they do great stews and other dishes), lovely wines and the best beer on tap in town. But most of all you get genuinely friendly service. And every time I show up after being away I am welcomed like an old friend. Just like I am the next day and the next. It’s a very special place.

we love tapas team training

wlt trainingI have to say that loving my job has taken on a whole other dimension since I began We Love Tapas last year. Which is that I now get to love other people’s jobs as well! This week I took Team Sevilla out on a couple of training sessions so they could also start doing our fabulous Oldest Taverns Tour. Previously only Peter was doing this tour, but it made sense to have more guide options, especially as it’s becoming very popular. As always, the owners and staff at our bars were keen to make us feel at home, and also to spend time telling the team all kinds of anecdotes along with the history of each bar. I mean, I could do that! But it’s even better when the team gets to hear all this from the people who have lived that history (or at least some of it). And each time I learn something new as well. Best job in the world. And best team ever!  🙂
