The one between Plaza de la Encarnación and Ponce de Leon is great! Not sure what that little area is called. Now it's jamón season! We spent Sunday afternoon cutting jamón and putting the slices in airtight bags (..."envasar en vacío"...Sorry. My English has gone to the shits...)

Haven't tried the one on San Pablo but pass it all the time. It looks nice, though. My favorite (so far) is the Villar near Puerta del Carne -- the best variety of fresh and unusual flavors; great staff and the owners are usually there and are both wonderful. But it's not very convenient from where we live, so we now more often go to just off La Alameda de Hercules. It's known as "the Italian" place. Really good and really pleasant staff.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-46517450672403501432012-09-26T21:32:29.787+02:002012-09-26T21:32:29.787+02:00So there is this really awesome ice cream chain (o...So there is this really awesome ice cream chain (okay I think there are two shops in total) in Sevilla called "Rayas."

He notices that when these things are served at neighboring tables, the servers gather and chant about it to the customer. To avoid embarrassment, he orders a single scoop of vanilla. When his group is served, all the others get their ice cream without comment but the servers gather around him and chant, "Single scooper, single scooper, this man is a party pooper!"Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-48601436834329656972012-09-26T13:11:21.179+02:002012-09-26T13:11:21.179+02:00Judeet:
