Some images from Sevilla’s newest flamenco venue, Casa de la Guitarra.
After 45 years as a performer, renowned flamenco guitarist José Luis Postigo opened the Casa de la Guitarra just three months ago in an 18th century building in the heart of the barrio Santa Cruz. The performances take place in an intimate space that brings the spectators close to the artists, and which also houses an impressive collection of 19th century guitars. The shows feature flamenco guitar, singing and dancing by professional performers in a variety of styles, and are an excellent introduction to the world of flamenco.

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.

One of the best ways of getting to know a new culture is through its food, as I have discovered over and over again with my Sevilla Tapas Tour guests. Then in September I started doing Market & Tapas Tours and they have proved to be quite successful as well. These morning tours start off with that most typical of Spanish breakfasts – churros and chocolate – and then I take my guests to two of Sevilla’s best food markets, one traditional and one modern (in fact, the newest and the oldest markets in Sevilla), where I talk about the fresh fish, meats and produce on display, and of course we sample some of the culinary delights on offer along the way. At our second stop we finish off with a delicious snack of fresh seafood tapas at a delightful market tapas bar. It’s great fun.
Market & Tapas Tours are available Tuesday – Thursday, 11.00 am – 2.00 pm.
