 50 types of "montaditos" |
Calle Argote de Molina Seville 41004 Spain +34 95 421 3150 |
This wine cellar/bar is the perfect place to stop in for a refreshing drink after a morning full of plans. Just a few meters from the Cathedral, this bar specializes in so called "montaditos" (little portions of tapas served on bread). There are more than 50 different kinds here, available in both cold and hot varieties. With rapid service, they also have tables outside. And to make things easier for you come lunchtime, a simple mountain ham and tomato sandwich, or one with fresh cheese and salmon, can appease your hungry stomach. The typical drink here is the sweet wine, accompanied by some regionally grown olives. Review © 2007, Wcities |

In the old town |
Calle Santander 15 Seville 41001 Spain +34 95 422 0880 |
In the most traditional atmosphere, this establishment, founded in 1962 over a wine cellar from the 16th century, continues after two generations to offer the same charm as when the great bullfighters of the time downed their drinks on memorable afternoons. Its name is taken from one of the most emblematic monuments of the city, the Torre del Oro (Golden Tower), located close to the establishment. Here you can enjoy any type of tapa you can imagine; the fried fish is a must-try speciality. The bull's tail is also delicious. If you're not completely sure what to order, put yourself in the hands of the waiters and bartenders, who will guide you through a hundred delights. The wine list is also extremely complete, with many barrel wines offered. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of the oldeset in Triana |
Calle Castilla 3 y 5 Seville 41010 Spain +34 95 433 3335 |
The local "tapa" tradition has a name: Casa Cuesta, known throughout Seville for being one of the oldest and best aged bars in Triana. It still has the same layout as it did 50 years ago, and, although it does offer a restaurant, it is famous for its various "tapas" from Andalusian cuisine. As if time had stood still, even the furniture is the same as it was 50 years ago. Rich, deep wood alternates with white marble, both in the pedestal tables and in the attractive bar. There are also large windows to the street, through which you can watch the passers-by stroll down the sidewalk. And, if you still don't believe in trips through time, the waiters still wear the "babi" (half smock) uniform. At the start of the mythical Castilla street-you can't miss it-you can enjoy wines drawn directly from the barrel, or their specialties like the offal or the hake and codfish.

Quality & prestige |
Calle Álvarez Quintero 58 Seville 41004 Spain +34 95 421 3150 http://www.casa-robles.com/ |
The menu here features over 100 different main courses followed by 40 imaginative desserts. There are 11 private dining rooms and two spacious public dining rooms to choose from as well as another branch in Castilleja. All the shellfish and cured meats come from Huelva while the beef and lamb come from northern Spain. Only the freshest produce is used.

The nougat and praline ice cream is an ideal dessert. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 The third largest cathedral in the world |
Avenida de la Constitución Plaza Virgen de los Reyes, s/n Seville 41001 Spain +34 95 421 4971 http://www.catedralsevilla.org/ |
It took almost 400 years to build Spain's largest church and the third biggest in the Christian world. Standing on the site of what was Seville's main mosque, one can still see elements of the Mudéjar style of art and late Gothic style architecture. Work began in the early 15th century, and by the time it was finished, it had five naves with a floor space measuring 116m x 76m. There is an astounding number of fine paintings and sculpture inside. Mass is conducted from Jan-Sep: M-Sa 8:30a, 9a, 10a, 10:30a & Noon; Su 10a, 11a, Noon, 1p; Sa 6p. Oct-Dec: in addition to those listed, M-Sa 5p & Su 6p. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great if you are hungry and on a budget |
Alameda de Hércules 19 Seville 41002 Spain +34 95 438 8106 |
This place, air-conditioned so that you do not feel the summer heat, is famous for being a meeting place for foreign exchange students who have cleverly chosen a good place to eat a lot, cheap and well. It has the simple decor of a tapas bar, nothing particularly out of the ordinary, with plain walls and plastic chairs. But it's very clean and the service is fast and efficient. There are a variety of reasons, such as: its exquisite market food, mixed dishes and varied tapas. Serranito (a baguette with meat, tomato, ham and pepper) is recommended. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Seafood from Sanlúcar in El Arenal |
Calle Almansa 15 Seville 41001 Spain +34 95 421 7796 |
The shellfish and seafood that this bar brings daily from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a tiny village by the Bay of Cádiz - famous throughout the world for its excellent products 'stolen' from the Atlantic ocean - are absolutely delicious. The way in which these specialties are prepared is typically Andaluz, with olive oil as the star of the show. In addition, they will offer you some magnificent homemade desserts, as well as an excellent selection from their wine cellar. But don't be wary; everything is very informal and relaxed, and the prices are more than affordable. Sit down in the outdoor summer terrace if it's a warm day, or in the heated interior. The area is conveniently located in the 'El Arenal' neighborhood, the heart of downtown Seville. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Specialists in Basque cuisine |
Calle San Fernando 41 Seville 41004 Spain +34 95 422 7211 |
A landmark 1920's building that was the popular Bar España in its day, it was converted in 1988 into an excellent Basque restaurant and Bar España moved in next-door. Some of the original early 20th century architectural features have been preserved along with parts of Seville's old 12th century Moorish defensive walls. You can eat and drink in the main dining room, in a private dining room, on the terrace under the orange trees, or in the tapas bar that stays open all day. The kitchen uses only fresh produce in season and specializes in game dishes during the hunting season. Try the Wood Pigeon with Savoury Rice or the Salad of Partridge marinated in Sherry Vinegar.

The embassy of Guinness |
Calle Alemanes 7 Seville 41004 Spain +34 95 421 0451 http://www.pflaherty.com |
Due to its highly central location, you can see out to the cathedral, or look in at the internal patio, symbolising a small square typical of Dublin. The impression it gives will refresh you during hot, Seville summer evenings. Its decor, music and food will make you feel closer to the magical country of Ireland. It may be the traditional Irish pub that you will find in any city of the world, but it is always handy to know a place where you can enjoy a good pint of Guinness. The quiet music allows you to converse amongst yourselves with the murmur of the crowd in the background. Always full of tourists and Anglo-Saxon students. You can find a variety of beer, both draught and bottled. Review © 2007, Wcities |

See you at the gate tonight? |
Alameda de Hércules 63 Seville 41002 Spain +34 95 490 2718 |
A meeting place for people of all styles and tastes, a place to chat with friends any day of the week, and a good first stop on a night out on the town. An attractive array of old coffee urns adorn the space behind the bar, while old paintings and photographs cover the walls and agreeable music plays in the background. You can sit upstairs and pose or sit outside on the terrace when the weather is good. Depending on the time of day, you might want to order a coffee and a cake or a beer with a tapa.

A welcome break |
Calle Trajano Seville 41002 Spain +34 95 421 7733 |
The best two things about this cafeteria are the oven-baked bread and the freshly-made pastries. It's a great place to take a break from shopping. It offers a long list of platos combinados (fast-food dishes normally made up of meat or fish plus egg and potato). The menu also features pasta, pizzas, paella and a variety of typical Andalusian tapas. The breakfasts are great and the kitchen serves full meals all day.

Traditional cakes baked in a convent |
Plaza de San Leandro Seville 41003 Spain +34 95 422 4195 http://www.conventosdesevilla.... |
The yemas (one of the most typical sweets produced and eaten here in Seville) made at the San Leandro convent are famous. These and other cakes baked by the nuns can be bought during normal business hours inside the convent. It was built after the Reconquest of the city at the hands of Fernando III. Artistically-speaking, the main altarpiece is the most important part of the church. It was made at the height of the baroque period using the reliefs of a previous altarpiece by Jerónimo Hernández.

Important carvings and paintings |
Calle Santa Paula Seville 41003 Spain +34 95 442 1307 |
This convent was founded in 1475 and now it is inhabited by a community of Hieronymite nuns (a monastic order). There is a large museum inside the convent with several different rooms, one of which has a large cloister. It also contains works by those close to Murillo, and others attributed to Berruguete, as is the case with San Jerónimo. The convent also has two altarpieces, one by Alonso Cano with a central statue by Martínez Montañés. Like other convents in Seville, they give great importance to the typical gastronomy of the region, and you can buy their products during normal business hours, which is also when the museum opens.

Seville Spain |
Triana is located on the other bank of the Guadalquivir River. It is joined to Seville by several bridges, including that of Isabel II, also known as the Puente de Triana (Triana Bridge). Triana has traditionally been a fishing district. It was once the site of the Reales Almonas, a factory that produced the most famous soap in the world. Pottery making has also historically been an important resource of this area. There are plenty of famous streets in Triana, among them San Jacinto, Betis, Pureza and Castilla. Triana is a district that is thought of independently from Seville; in fact, the locals refer to Triana and Seville separately, as if they were two different cities. Churches and chapels abound in Triana. It even has its own cathedral Review © 2007, Wcities |
