Seville Food Tour | What Locals Eat in Spain's Most Underrated Food City

We did a full tapas crawl in Seville: 7 local spots, 10 traditional Andalusian dishes, and every drink locals actually order (no sangria in sight). This is how to eat in Seville like a local.

🍷 Andalusian food is shaped by 800 years of Moorish history, the proximity to the sea, and a tapas culture where you don't sit at one restaurant for hours: you order, drink, move on.

We started with traditional Sevillan churros and thick chocolate at I Love Churros, then moved on to classic tapas bars: Bar el Comercio (open since 1904), Bar Alfalfa, El Caserio, Taberna Coloniales, and the very local Cafe Bar San Juan de la Palma. We finished the day at Bar Baratillo with a massive plate of slow-cooked oxtail in red wine sauce.

Along the way we tried all the must-eat Sevillan dishes — Pringa (the local meaty sandwich), Salmorejo (the creamier cousin of gazpacho), Carrillada de Cerdo (slow-cooked pork cheek), Espinacas con Garbanzos (spinach and chickpeas — the most Moorish-influenced dish in the city), Boquerones fritos (fried whole anchovies), Solomillo al Whisky (pork tenderloin in whiskey and garlic sauce), Pavía de Merluza (saffron-battered fried fish), the legendary Serranito sandwich, and finished with Rabo de Toro (oxtail stew).

To drink: Verdejo (local white wine), Tinto de Verano (red wine + lemon soda, what locals actually drink, not sangria), Vermut (the original Spanish aperitivo), Orange Wine (Andalusian specialty made with bitter orange peels), and the local Cruzcampo beer.

If you're going to Seville, save this video — it's everything you need to eat your way through the city like a local.
