Ah Seville what an amazing city you are. I hadn’t planned to visit Seville until my return from Morocco but we had seen a fair few of the ‘white villages’ and wanted a change so decided last minute to divert there for a couple of nights and I am so glad as it has been the highlight of my trip to Spain.
Seville is a wonderful place, even when it is baking baking hot! I’d love to know how may tapas bars/restaurants there are, it seemed to be one after another after another, not that I’m complaining. We only had a couple of days there but did ourselves proud with the amount we managed to fit in food wise! Some of my favourite places were:
El Rinconcillo (Calle Gerona, 42), Seville’s oldest bar founded in 1670 – very atmospheric.
Bar El Commercio (http://www.barelcomercio.com/en-index.htm) where we had the best churros with chocolate although it didn’t seem quite right having them for breakfast.
Casa Tomate (Calle Mateos Gago 24) in the Barrio Santa Cruz and with the largest ‘half raciones’ I have ever seen. We ordered 3 plates for the two of us and could barely get through one of them.
Vineria San Telmo (http://www.vineriasantelmo.com/) - delicious tapas and lovely desserts!
Aside from eating and drinking it is such a great place to just wander around, the buildings are beautiful and the atmosphere very friendly, The Alcazar is also definitely worth a visit, the interior rooms are stunning.
We popped over to the Triana District to The Santa Ana church which is the oldest parish church in Seville, dating back to the 13th century. It holds the lauda sepulcral where legend has it that it assures marriage to women by giving it seven taps with the feet. I only wished I knew what I was tapping as sadly it wasn’t until I left that I realised I had been tapping the wrong thing, oh well just means I will have to return to Seville and that is something that I will definitely be doing.
