Seville

Sal Gorda Centro ’26

Modern tapas with real attention downtown; and a second table by the Cathedral.

La Azotea Centro ’26

Tapas and seafood, eaten at a bar that watches the street go by.

Eslava San Lorenzo ’26

Tapas that earn the bill; and the bill is not small.

Dos de Mayo Centro ’26

Affordable tapas, open all day. The everyday Seville that holds up.

Cañabota Centro ’26

High-class seafood. Where the city takes the catch seriously.

Bodeguita Romero El Arenal ’26

A plain old Seville tavern; small, direct plates that explain the city faster than a long dinner.

Antigua Abacería de San Lorenzo San Lorenzo ’26

Part grocer, part tavern, part table; tinned goods, wine, and cooking in a corner shop that never quite decided what it was.

Catalina La Barra Alfalfa ’26 ◎

A buzzing, vibrant barra; sherry by the glass and tapas that live up to the noise.

El Rinconcillo Centro ’26 ◎

The oldest bar in Spain. Jamón, a glass of sherry, and centuries in the room.

Bar Las Teresas Santa Cruz ’26

A Seville classic: tapas, sherry, and the proper old decoration.

Virgin Coffee La Encarnación ’26

A hole-in-the-wall by Las Setas; come for the coffee, not the elbow room.

Casa Morales Centro ’26

An essential sherry spot. Order the montaditos.

Vinería San Telmo Santa Cruz ’26

A sherry list worth working through, in the old quarter.

Lama la Uva Centro ’26

A local wine shop with good bottles. Come for the wine, not the tapas.

Real Alcázar Santa Cruz ’26 ◎

A royal palace where Arabic and Christian worlds meet. The city, concentrated.

Las Setas La Encarnación ’26

Metropol Parasol; the world’s largest wooden structure, hovering over the old center.

Seville Cathedral Santa Cruz ’26

Scale as devotion; then climb the Giralda for the view back down.

Triana Triana ’26

The quarter across the river; cross back as the sun goes down.
