Welcome
Seville, in a few days
Seville means the Alcázar and its Moorish-style patios, the Giralda rising above the rooftops, and flamenco in Triana at night. It is Andalusia at its most intense, above all in spring.

Good to know
Flavours & local habits
🍽️ Worth tasting
- Tapas: small plates to share, and in Granada still brought free with a drink.
- Paella: Valencian saffron rice, eaten at midday and never at night.
- Jamón ibérico: acorn-fed ham, cured for years and carved by hand.
- Churros con chocolate: fried dough and thick chocolate, at breakfast or late afternoon.
- Gazpacho: cold tomato soup, drunk from a glass through the summer.
⚠️ Best avoided
- Dinner starts at nine or ten, and kitchens shut in the afternoon. Plan the day around it.
- A photograph of paella outside a restaurant on the Ramblas is a warning. Eat it at midday, elsewhere.
- Pickpockets work the Ramblas and the metro. Keep your bag in front of you.
- Order the menú del día at lunch: three courses and a drink for what one dish costs at night.
