Here in Seville, the old distinctions don’t hold. Just about every place seems to be a restaurant-cafe-bar nowadays. You can have a late night drink standing next to someone grabbing a coffee and toast on their way to an early job. The newest eateries call themselves gastropubs, and after taking the bulls’ heads off the walls, painting the dark woodwork white and replacing grandma’s old plates with thin slabs of slate and amusing black napkins, they still serve traditional Sevillano food throughout the day and night. Luckily, it’s good food, so we don’t care what they call the place.

The article is making me hungry and I only had breakfast thrity minutes ago.

Thanks, Krista!

It’s worth it! There’s lots more to see and do than vintage shopping and drinking beer. I really enjoy Brussels everytime I go.

I’ve only ever been to Brussels once and only for a few hours whilst waiting for the train to Salzburg…and that was over 15 years ago now. I’m off to Europe again (from Australia) in April this year so may be able to fit it in. We have four days between Paris and Barcelona where nothing is booked although I just quickly searched the net and see that it is only a one and a half hour train ride from Paris. We could make it a day trip!

Oh, anything with caramel sauce, yes please!
