Last night we went out for Tapas to a recommended bar, which was full of locals and had no English menu - so this challenged us a bit and the Spanish phrase book was working overtime - fortunately we arrived at 7.30 and the kitchen did not open til 8, so this gave us 1/2 hour to work on the menu and everything we ordered was delicious - from the razor clams to the mushroom torte.....
Today we took a personalized tour to one of the "White Villages" - Ronda - this was about 1 1/2 hour drive SE of Sevilla. It was a lovely drive on a super day. Our first stop was a wine tasting at a small boutique winery - the wines were young and I think they still have a way to go before they are top notch. Then we drove on to the outskirts of Ronda and visited vineyard #2, the wines were better here and even included Pinot Noir.
Then in Ronda we went to a Tapas bar for lunch - WOW - stunning food, beatifully cooked and presented. We had salmon ceviche, soy noodles and Iberian ham, asparagus and manchego cheese, Russian potato salad, curried chicken on skewers and a glass of wine ( the best today)
We then walked off lunch in the town, which is spectacularly perched on a hillside (pictures will be posted on my return home)
Late in the day we drove back to Sevilla.
