Welcome to Seville Tapas Bars! This is the warm-weather companion to Ribble Valley Pubs. Occasionally we feel the need to venture from the lush green but wet Ribble Valley to the scorching dry yellows, reds and browns of Seville. While the climates are diametrically opposed, the approach to life, tradition, and great local food and drink reveal that they have more similarities than differences.
Seville is full of amazing Tapas bars, and I'm not too sure that a bad one exists. The best way of tackling them is just to wander around and try out as many as you can. All have their quirks. All are a joy.
What better place to kick off than the oldest bar in Seville. Located a short walk away from the more popular areas, this nonetheless attracts a large number of tourists, leading to a slightly weary-looking staff. It's the real thing, though as the deeply polished wood, faded notepads, and nicotine-stained paint will attest. As far as tapas goes, we found that they excel with their cured meats. There's a bloke in charge of cutting these jamons and choritzos into slivers of pure taste, and it's worth standing nearby just to watch him in action.
