Detailed itinerary

You will meet your guide at the white monumental fountain at Plaza de la Encarnación, next to Metropol Parasol Seville "Setas de Sevilla", the largest wooden construction in the world.

At this stop, we'll enjoy some typical dishes such as chicharrones and montaíto. Served just as they did 100 years ago accompanied with refreshing Cruzcampo beer straight from the barrel -or a wine of your choice-

A short break at one of Seville’s most iconic flamenco dress shops, where you’ll get a glimpse of the traditional “traje de flamenca” worn during Feria and local festivities. A true symbol of Andalusian culture.

With medieval roots and vibrant local life, Alfalfa is a charming blend of tradition and modernity. Its narrow cobbled streets, lively plazas, and timeless character make it a true Sevillian gem. Here we'll visit a charming local favorite with a rustic touch, this small tavern offers a short but carefully curated selection of tostas, montaditos, and regional wines, served with warm, personal hospitality. *Stops may vary depending on seasonality and partner availability.

Stop 5

Walking through the historic streets of Seville

At this classic neighborhood bar known for its “grandma-style” cooking, we taste two local staples: slow-cooked carrillada and traditional espinacas with chickpeas. We’ll also chat about Seville’s deep football culture and the city’s oldest Betis supporters’ club—don’t worry, even non-football fans survive this stop (and usually enjoy it!). *Stops and tatsings may vary depending on seasonality and partner availability.

Stop 7

In the heart of the historic Jewish quarter, we visit a family-owned tavern with deep roots in Santa Cruz. Housed in a traditional Sevillian home with a charming interior patio, it’s the perfect place to enjoy albóndigas, local sweets like pestiños, and a glass of PX to finish. *Stops and tatsings may vary depending on seasonality and partner availability.
