While these days I live in Seville and dedicate my days to sharing the bites and sights of Seville with hungry travellers, once upon a time life wasn’t quite so straightforward. I was visiting Seville often, sometimes for days, sometimes for weeks, always discovering more and more layers to southern Spain’s jewel with every visit. […]
Revisiting Seville’s Tapas Scene: The Current Hyped Tapas Joints That Are Actually Amazing
The tapas scene here in Seville is an incredible maze of openings, closings, restaurant takeovers, fails and successes, to the point that I sometimes struggle to get my head around. It feels like almost on a weekly basis that somewhere is opening, somewhere is closing, overnight a restaurant has changed name and concept and without […]
Everything I Ate In February
The 1st of February I was in Barcelona so let’s just say this month started off with a bang, followed by a resolution to eat more at home. A resolution at which I failed, to epic proportions. But that failure meant that I tried some new places, revisited old favourites, moved some to the black […]
Coria del Río: The Guadalquivir River, Japan & The Typical Bleak Fish
The other day I made a new discovery about Seville that I never expected to discover. In a pueblo in the province of Seville, which consists of no more than 25,000 people, around 700 people happen to have a family name from over 10,000 kilometres away – japón (Japan). As it turns out, it was an event from long […]
Everything I Ate In January
Oh, I’ve missed doing these posts. Screw looking back at the last month in goals, achievements, highs and lows – why not look back a the last month in food! The New Year meant new things, new friends, and a lot of food – both old and new – so this month, I have documented […]
12 Travel Moments & 12 Eating Experiences To Mark The Last 12 Months
I know we are already a week into 2016, but in Spain it doesn’t really feel like the New Year gets properly underway until the Three Kings have come on the evening of the 5th of January and thrown literally thousands of kilograms of sweets in the air. This is followed by the final public holiday […]
Eat Where Locals Eat? No, Eat Withlocals!
“Eat where the locals eat” is my motto when travelling, but what about “eat with the locals?” Now there’s an experience. It’s been awhile since I first got clued into the concept of dining in people’s stranger’s homes, so the idea wasn’t too new or shocking for me. In fact, the whole sharing economy thing has […]
2014 in Review: My Favourite New Restaurant Discoveries
It’s that time of year where we are supposed to feeling inspired, re-energised and ready to take on the world. It’s also that time of year where we reflect on what we have done in the past year, and what we could do better next time round. Although it almost seems like it is expected […]
Costa de la Luz: the perfect place for an authentic Spanish experience
Heading to Spain in search of summer sun is nothing new. For decades tourists have been flocking to popular coastlines on the Mediterranean Sea such as the Costa del Sol and Costa Brava to enjoy a typical summer holiday. But you know that I’m not happy with typical. Nor I’m happy with ordinary. I’m not even happy with okay. […]
It’s A Tapas Showdown: The 10 Best Tapas of De Locos Tapas in Ronda
There is no denying that there is a lot of good restaurants in Spain. From the pintxo bars of Logroño and San Sebastian, to the tapas bars side by side in Madrid’s historical centre, to Seville’s booming gastronomic tapas scene, the Spanish cuisine and restaurants that I visit as I travel around Spain are always varied. It […]
