There’s a new wine shop in town! Viñafiel opened its doors this past Tuesday and it looks great, with a minimalist clean interior featuring wooden shelving and floors. Aside from an excellent selection of wines, there’s also a wide variety of gins, whiskys, etc and a small section of gourmet food items. Look for tastings and other events coming up soon. A nice addition to the Arenal neighbourhood.

Roof Sevilla Pop Up Store

First pop-up restaurants, now pop-up stores! The Roof Sevilla Popup Store is an ambitious initiative by a group of young professionals in the fields of fine art, design and photography, combining fashion, decoration, food and art in one place. This five-day event not only gives designers a unique venue in which to display and sell their items, it also provides a meeting point for professionals in the fashion industry, artists, bloggers, media and the general public. The store will be distributed throughout the beautiful Casa Romana boutique hotel, in its patios, meeting areas and rooftop terrace.

Rompemoldes

rompemoldesYesterday I finally got over to visit Rompemoldes, which opened last November. It’s a bright modern space just off calle San Luís where local artists and artesans live and work, reminiscent of Sevilla’s old “corrales de vecinos”. The ground floor studios and shops open onto a large plant-filled patio, which is also used for special events such as concerts and workshops. Apartments are located on the first and second floors, some with rooftop terraces. I think it’s a great concept, having your workspace and home together, and also having like-minded neighbours. And the people I spoke to were all very enthusiastic about this new initiative.

There are general opening hours but individual studios may not always be open to the public. Some have shops to sell their art and crafts, others work strictly on commission. So each visit you can find something different.

There is going to be an “open house” weekend April 5-7 and I’m told that on Saturday the 6th most, if not all, of the studios will be open and there will be food & drink on offer too. Check the Rompemoldes Facebook Page for all upcoming events. You can also ask to be put on their emailing list to stay in the loop.

Pan y Più

How did I not stop in and buy anything here before today? Pan y Piu opened last April and I have walked by time and time again, admiring its attractive window displays. Well, today I finally took the plunge and, after sampling their Pan Payes and Pan Gallego, this is now my new local bakery.

Combining Spanish and Italian tradition with innovation, Pan y Più (più means “more” in Italian) offers a gorgeous selection of artisanal breads, muffins, cakes, pastries… and more. You can find foccacio, pizzas and Italian-style sandwiches filled with arugula, bresaola, parmesan, bologna bolognese and truffled sauces. And don’t miss the “nubes” (clouds) which are olive-oil based fluffy-crusty bites of deliciousness. And if you want to enjoy your carrot cake or croissant on the premises you can order a cup of coffee to go with it.
