Trail an official Seville food guide through the tapas bars of El Arenal and Triana, sampling jamón ibérico, Moorish-spiced cazuelas, and chilled fino sherry at bars where tourists rarely tread. The most delicious two hours Seville can offer.
What to expect
The walk begins in El Arenal with a glass of chilled manzanilla and a plate of jamón cortado to order at a marble-topped bar established in the 1930s. The guide leads you to a tile-faced neighbourhood bodega for montaditos (small open sandwiches) topped with Iberian pork loin and roasted peppers. A mid-point stop at a back-street freiduría delivers crispy pescaíto frito — the city's beloved fried fish tradition — straight from the pan. The finale is a tableside tasting of three Jerez sherries, from bone-dry fino to rich, nutty oloroso, paired with aged Manchego. You will leave unable to look at an airport tapas bar the same way again.
Good to know
Tours run at lunchtime (13:00) and are perfectly timed for a post-monuments afternoon slot. Group sizes are capped at 10 — book well ahead on port-call days. Inform the operator of any dietary requirements at booking; they accommodate with grace. Bodeguita Romero (Harinas 10, Seville) is also a celebrated standalone stop worth building time for.
