Snacking in Seville – Tapas Tour with ‘Sevilla Tapas’

Tapas are an essential part of any visit to Seville, so this time I made sure I was exploring the city under the capable direction of the ‘Queen of Seville Tapas’, Shawn of Azahar Sevilla Tapas.

It was a beautiful day and we started with a familiar favourite, Las Teresas and kicked things off with a plate of expertly carved cured ´jamon´ and a glass of fino – interestingly this fino, from Bodegas Tradicion, was quite dark.

Then across old town to Bodeguito Romero, where we were introduced to bar owner Pedro. Each morning he prepares his ‘special recipe[ potato salad with sherry vinegar which was delicious. We also tried pringá – slow cooked pork and chorizo that was as they say ‘melt in the mouth’ with a crispy bread roll.

Tapas bar hopping is also a great way to get to see the city, it’s narrow alleyways, hidden squares and cobbled streets.

Then our last stop for this tapas lunch was Azotea Sevilla, (they have a number of restaurant bars in town, we chose the one in C/ Jesús del Gran Poder, 31) and enjoyed a superb plate of small clams with roasted miniature artichokes, followed by a beautifully prepared piece of tuna.

Also managed to revisit one of my favourite bars in Seville, Casa Morales; where in the back bar against the walls are huge vintage ‘tinajas’ – large wine storage jars.
