Seville travel guide — where to stay, what to do, and where to eat in Seville, Andalusia, Spain.
Seville is one of Spain's great eating cities. The culture revolves around tapas — small plates eaten standing at the bar, traditionally included with a drink at older bars. Signature Andalusian dishes include salmorejo (thick cold tomato soup), espinacas con garbanzos (spinach and chickpeas), cazón en adobo (marinated dogfish), and croquetas. The city's proximity to the sea means excellent fresh fish; the Guadalquivir supplies eels and fresh-water fish. Fino and manzanilla sherries are the quintessential local aperitifs.

Seville accommodates vegetarians with dishes like espinacas con garbanzos, gazpacho, and patatas bravas — though many stocks use meat. Vegans face more challenges; look for restaurants near the Alameda de Hércules district. Gluten-free options are increasingly available; ask staff about 'sin gluten'. Halal restaurants are scattered around the Macarena district. Kosher food is very limited — self-catering is easiest.
