Tastes, Tapas & Traditions of Seville Food Tour

TOUR SNAPSHOT

Get ready for a crash course in sevillano culture. We’re going to take you for a day in the life of a local resident, and that means a shopping trip at the market, a bite at a bustling bar, and everything in between. Along the way, we’ll decode Seville’s traditions for you so you understand what it really means to live in, and to love, this city.

STOP-BY-STOP

Start your morning off in true sevillano fashion at a local food market. First fuel up with a hot café con leche, then walk the market stalls and learn how locals shop for seasonal produce. Before leaving the market you’ll taste Spain’s most prized gem—cured acorn-fed Iberian ham—and learn from a master ham slicer how it’s cut by hand!

Next up, it’s time for a breakfast treat! You’ll make your way to a bar that’s over 100 years old, where they serve what are widely considered to be Seville’s best deep-fried churros.

We’ll continue through the historic Alfalfa neighborhood where your guide will introduce you to a reminder of Seville’s Moorish past, and provide insider information on some of the city’s biggest cultural events, which have shaped the city’s history, culture and food today.

Then it’s time for another taste—something sweet from some very surprising local bakers! Trust us when we say this is one stop many visitors miss, simply because they don’t know it exists!

Afterwards, you’ll head to a local bar that does more than serve delicious traditional food. Upon entering, you’ll see it also serves as an unofficial museum for all things related to Seville’s famous Holy Week! Here you’ll taste two variations of small sandwiches packed with local flavors.

Back outside, you’ll see some of Seville’s must-see sights and hear their stories on the way to the next stop, a takeaway shop specialized in freshly-fried food. It’s a true Seville institution that’s been open since the 1930s and is a family affair where everyone pitches in to keep the operation running. Here you’ll taste the most popular food at Seville’s April Fair: fried dogfish paired with a crisp glass of sherry.

The next stop is the top choice among locals for a home-cooked meal near the Cathedral, in an area where it’s easy to end up at a tourist trap if you’re not careful! We’ll suggest some of our favorites and you can choose the tapa that you want to try here.

Finish your culinary crawl with a dessert to remember. The options vary depending on the season, but you can’t go wrong with either: an iconic ice cream store run by a world-recognized master of ice cream, or Seville’s oldest bakery, open since the 1880s.

By the end of the morning you’ll have soaked up the essence of the city and know not only what it means to visit and fall in love with Seville, but what it means to live here too.
