This historic bar, open since 1870, offers a true taste of Seville’s culinary heritage.
Next, step into a tiny tavern hidden just around the corner from the Cathedral that most tourists overlook. As you sample rich manchego cheese and slow-roasted pork belly, you’ll enjoy a drink that this family-run bar made famous in Seville: orange wine.
Your journey continues at a beloved family-run fried fish shop. Here, you’ll enjoy the local specialty with a crisp manzanilla sherry while your culinary expert explains its unique connection to Seville's spring festival.
Your tapas tour ends at a beloved eatery in Seville’s historic center, where if you're lucky you may even spot a local celebrity!
