What to eat in Seville

Data checked on October 5, 2026

Salmorejo

A thick cold soup of tomato and bread, usually topped with ham and egg. It is the standard first course on hot days.

Spinach and chickpeas with cumin and garlic, a classic Seville tapa that tastes better than it sounds.

Slow-cooked meat and sausage mashed into a spread and served in a small bread roll. It is a cheap, filling tapa found in old bars.

Pork tenderloin cooked in garlic and whisky, served in slices. It is a Seville bar standard, usually ordered by the portion.

A mixed plate of lightly floured and fried fish and seafood, eaten at lunch with a cold drink.

A long drink of dry sherry and lemon soda, served over ice. People have it at the April Fair and on hot afternoons all year.

Every itinerary on this site keeps a lunch break after 12:30, so there is room for a proper meal in the middle of the day.

A flamenco show in a small venueSeville is one of the home towns of flamenco, and small rooms in Triana and Santa Cruz put on short evening shows with guitar, song and dance at close range.
A tapas crawlPick a few bars around Triana, the Alameda or the old centre and order one or two small plates in each. Locals stand at the counter and move on after a drink.
An afternoon at ItálicaThe Roman city ruins and amphitheatre lie a short bus ride from Seville in the town of Santiponce. It is an easy half day if you have time after the main sights.
Bike the river pathThe flat riverside path and the quiet streets around the park suit a slow ride, and the city has public bikes for short trips.
Soak in an Arab-style bathSeveral bathhouses in the old centre offer warm pools, steam rooms and massage in Moorish-style rooms. They are a good way to end a hot day.
