Tastes, Tapas & Traditions of Seville Food Tour

Pull up a chair by the bar in the cozy Bar El Comercio and watch as the owner Paco makes a fresh batch of churros with a cup of hot chocolate. Some say they’re the best in all of Spain, but you’ll have to try them yourself. From the black and white tiled floor to the legs of ham hanging from the ceiling and the fact that the owner was born upstairs, this is one of the best places in Seville to experience food and tradition.

Follow your guide to Barrio Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter, and step into a historic convent. This is an incredible opportunity to see a part of Seville that many miss and a great chance to try the nuns’ famous homemade cookies.

Walk through the doors of this spectacular venue that’s part bar and part museum. Dedicated to the vibrant Holy Week, the walls of Taberna La Fresquita are adorned with photos, plaques, and memorabilia all paying homage to the celebration. Sit down with a glass of tinto de verano, a mix of red wine and lemon soda, and tuck into traditional montadito sandwiches filled with chorizo and shredded pork.

You'll enjoy it in the form of their famous adobo, a special marinade that’s only found in this part of the world.

First opening their doors in 1885, the family who runs Confitería La Campana have perfected their craft over the past 135 years and have passed their knowledge down through four generations.
