January
We are finally in Spain, but sadly not yet in Sevilla (it’s an ongoing “adventure”). Nonetheless, we are in Spain!

At Bravo this morning for elevenses. More dulces árabes, which were excellent. Note the QR code on the table. Common here in cafés. Point your camera at the QR code; tap the link that pops up; get the menu (second photo) in English or Spanish. pic.twitter.com/x04MuFMAJi

Enjoying the ☀️ at the Puente de Triana. Eight minute walk from our place. pic.twitter.com/V9bCyKiH32

We were shocked to find that there was a brief shower while we were having elevenses. Almost the first cloud 🌦️ we’ve seen!

Pretty typical morning: La Baronesa for café y croassant (€3.80); just around the corner to LIDL for basics (milk, lettuce, tomatoes, wine – €11.33); up the street to Pineda Empanadas for pollo jardinera and tortilla de patatas (€5.00); bollos from Horno el Abuelo (€0.80). pic.twitter.com/EviTXCVfiS

We are so pleased that we decided to stay in Triana. The bridge in the photograph is less than ten minutes away from our place. https://t.co/sCHA0l55I3

We post quite a few photographs that don’t show up on our Twitter feed, including a short video from yesterday’s expedition to the Plaza de España. All of the photos can be found here: https://t.co/dOnPDn8Osj

We’ve come back to El Gordito well prepared to order only to find they were changing the menu as we walked in! None of the items we had pre-selected were available, but we are well pleased with our new choices (3 different tapas) 🙂 pic.twitter.com/gVcIX193lx

We were pretty close to the action this afternoon as @RealBetisFem played to a 0-0 draw against Huelva. Real Betis is one of two Sevilla teams playing in the Spanish top flight. pic.twitter.com/vyPolb6Ndo

Our first stop this morning after elevenses … terrific empanadas (in window) which we got for supper. Incredible array of árabes in the counter. Down the street for bollos; a local deli for supplies; Pineda for pollo jardinera (today’s lunch). All within 5 minutes walk. pic.twitter.com/IaAONcyT9M

Steady lineup to buy freshly made calentitos (more widely known as churros) and perhaps chocolate to dip them in. Ours were delicious. pic.twitter.com/IBCcWXso5p

Our last meal here. We started with one of our favourite tapas – mejillones rellones. We will miss the food and the staff (especially Sergio). pic.twitter.com/hziEOk5Zhm
