The short version
- ✓Tapas here are a crawl, not a meal: order two or three small plates, then move on to the next bar.
- ✓Try salmorejo, espinacas con garbanzos, jamón ibérico and a cold fino or manzanilla sherry.
- ✓Triana is the heart of the food-and-flamenco evening; Calle Betis runs along the river.
How to eat in Seville
Eat the way Sevillanos do: stand at the bar, order a couple of tapas and a drink, and keep moving. The classic dishes are cool-weather salmorejo, spinach-and-chickpea stew, fried fish and good Iberian ham, washed down with sherry from nearby Jerez. End the night in a Triana tablao or peña for flamenco in the rooms that shaped it.
