Part 2: Tapas & Local Bars (2 Hours)
After your historical walk, you’ll visit some of Seville’s best-loved local tapas bars. Tapas are an essential part of Andalusian cuisine, and in each bar, you’ll have the opportunity to try different traditional dishes, such as:
Paella: Experience this iconic Spanish dish, traditionally made with seafood, meats, or vegetables, cooked to perfection.

Churros with Chocolate: A sweet, indulgent treat to finish your tapas journey.
As you taste your way through these delicious dishes, your guide will also introduce you to special regional wines that pair perfectly with each course. Seville is home to unique wines like Sherry (particularly the dry Fino and sweet Pedro Ximénez) and Manzanilla, a local white wine from the nearby coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

The final part of your tour focuses on Seville’s food traditions and customs. As you enjoy your tapas and wine, your guide will explain the significance of various Andalusian food rituals, such as the tradition of “tapeo” (the art of hopping between tapas bars) and the lively social atmosphere that revolves around sharing meals with friends and family.
