Seville has no shortage of things to see, do, and eat, so there’s no better way to wrap up a busy day of sightseeing than with a relaxing evening of tapas. But with thousands of tapas bars to choose from, finding a good one—and then figuring out what to order and how to do so—can be a challenge for the uninitiated. This tapas tour through the vibrant Triana area will take you away from the busy historic centre and into the bars locals choose again and again for their own tapas crawls.

Your Seville tapas tour kicks off on the right bank of the Guadalquivir River, in front of the magnificent Isabel II Bridge that connects the city centre to Triana. After a brief introduction to the area, you’ll stroll across the bridge and head straight to your first stop of the evening. This family-run business opened its doors in 1930 as a gourmet grocer and today is one of the last tapas bars left of its kind in Triana. On the menu here is a selection of cold tapas washed down with Spain’s favourite aperitif: vermouth.

From there, you’ll head down Triana’s main pedestrian street to your next tapas bar. It’s been going strong for more than 60 years and is still run by the same family. Their secret—short menu made up of simple dishes prepared with love using high-quality, market-fresh ingredients. You’ll try a few of their standout dishes, such as hot-off-the-grill pork sirloin (the most popular tapa in Seville!) and grilled mushrooms topped with garlic and parsley aioli. To drink, you’ll try a delicious and refreshing red wine-based concoction that locals order much more frequently than sangria.

Southern Spain is famous for its fried fish, and that’s exactly what’s in store at your next stop. Your guide will introduce you to the father-son team serving up the best adobo—a flavourful recipe for fried fish you’ll only find in Andalusia—in the area. You’ll learn about this dish’s connections with the famous Seville April Fair and sip a glass of manzanilla sherry, its traditional pairing and one of the driest wines in the world!

Finally, your tapas crawl concludes at one last local favourite establishment that’s been a staple of Triana’s food scene since 1932. Enjoy your choice of beer or wine to go along with a selection of home-cooked dishes such as their famous tempura courgette and garlic shrimp.
