About this experience

In Seville, every corner has a story and most of them are about food. On this culinary stroll through the Jewish quarter, City Hall, El Salvador and Alfalfa. You’ll hop from 19th-century taverns to modern kitchens, sampling the flavors that make Andalusia so dangerously addictive.

We’re talking legendary jamón, sizzling chorizo cooked literally in flames, pork loin cooked in brandy sauce, and ice cream that might ruin every one you’ll try afterwards. Plus, the locals have opinions. On everything. Including the perfect way to chill your tinto de verano (not sangria!) and they’re ready to show you.

Expect bold flavors, surprise favorites, just enough history to keep the history buffs among us hooked. It’s Andalusian cuisine done right.
