Restaurants & Tapas Recommendations

1. Mariatrifulca - Dinner along the river with incredible views and even better food. Note: Book ahead unless you like dining on regret.

2. Bar Alfalfa - Tiny corner bar with big tapas energy. Perfect for grazing on jamón and soaking in the charm.

3. Bodeguita Romero - Home of the legendary pringa montadito sandwich. Small but mighty

4. Cien Montaditos - Cheap, cheerful, and one of Caitlin's frequent lunch spots during her time in Sevilla. Think mini-sandwich heaven. Try not to order all 100 in one go.

5. Los Coloniales - A classic Spanish tapas bar popular. The vibe is bustling lively, and unapologetically local.

6. Bar Ajo&Agua - A cozy tapas bar in the heart of Sevilla, offering a blend of traditional Andalusian flavor and modern flair. One of our favorites from our trip to Sevilla in 2024.

Iconic Dishes to Try

Salmorejo: Chilled tomato soup that’s basically summer in a bowl.

Tortilla de Camarones: Crispy shrimp fritters—seafood pancakes, if you will.

Pringá Montadito: A sandwich stuffed with slow-cooked meats. Warning: it’s addictive.

Espinacas con Garbanzos: Spinach and chickpeas seasoned to perfection. Healthy-ish, but who’s counting?

Churros con Chocolate: Fried dough sticks dipped in liquid gold (aka chocolate). Breakfast, dessert, or whenever you need a life pick-me-up.

Caracoles: Snails in a flavorful broth of garlic, herbs, and spices, a seasonal delicacy popular in May for the adventurous.

Signature Drinks to Cool You Off

Tinto de Verano: Like sangria, but cooler and lighter.

Cruzcampo: Sevilla’s local beer, best served colder than water from a glacier.

Rebujito: Sherry meets soda.

Vino de Naranja (Orange Wine): sweet, fortified wine, infused with Sevilla orange peel, offers a balance of sweetness and citrusy bitterness.

Agua de Sevilla - a true Sevillian cocktail with cava (sparkling wine), pineapple juice, whiskey, and cream.

Kalimotxo: A combination of red wine and cola that is better than it sounds. You'll see countless students sitting along the Guadalquivir River sipping this.
