Seville

The Andalusian region, where Seville is located, is the birthplace of tapas and there are plenty of great places in the city to enjoy them — both in terms of atmosphere and for the food itself. Visit Calle Mateo Gago and try several tapas bars. La Fresquita is a hole-in-the-wall type place serving mini toasts with morcilla (blood sausage), and The Bodega Santa Cruz has a tasty tortilla. Bar Giralda in a former Moorish bathhouse is also worth a visit.

This is an innovative restaurant with an intimate and unique style, one of those places that you should not miss. A restaurant where you can enjoy well prepared food made from fresh products in a friendly and laid-back ambience, Contenedor is a small place that blends the best of Andalusia with a twist of metropolitan spirit.

La Piamontesa is an Italian restaurant situated in the very heart of Seville, a very characteristic restaurant that offers high quality dishes. You know you have found a good restaurant when you see more locals than tourists, and that is definitely the case here. Portion sizes are also quite generous.

Even if Andalusian cuisine is quite the treat, you might desire more culinary variety during your stay in Seville. If you have a craving for Italian food, consider this charming restaurant in the Barrio Santa Cruz, offering homemade salads, pastas, crostones and pizzas. This place fills up quickly in the evening so you might need to make a reservation. With the attentive staff and the high quality food, you will not be disappointed.
