One of the most typical tapas in Andalusia and Seville, both for locals and tourists... They are very popular cold soups especially during the warmer months. Salmorejo is a thick and smooth cream, made mainly of tomato, bread, olive oil, garlic and salt. Andalusian gazpacho, on the other hand, is a more liquid and refreshing cold soup, also made with tomato and more vegetables. The main difference is that salmorejo is much thicker than gazpacho, which is completely liquid.
This is a vegetarian stew that is especially popular during Lent. It is a healthy recipe, reflecting the essence of Andalusian cuisine based on local and seasonal products. It is mainly made with fresh spinach, boiled chickpeas, garlic and cumin.
Andalusia is a gastronomic paradise, and its capital is not far behind. Apart from the legendary croquettes and salmorejo, not many people know about what to eat in SevilleAn example would be the "montaditos de pringá". The "pringá" is a stew of meat, usually pork, but can also be beef or chicken, which is simmered in a broth of vegetables and other ingredients. This stew is served inside a bread roll, creating a delicious and very popular snack.
This curious dish is a typical salad of Cadiz origin (it was created in Cadiz and spread throughout Andalusia). It combines boiled potatoes with a vinaigrette of olive oil, vinegar, garlic and other spices. As a tapa it is a delight but it is also a perfect accompaniment to meat or fish. The main ingredients are potatoes, garlic, onion, tuna, a hard-boiled egg, oil, vinegar and olives.
Despite their name, chicharrones are not the "chicharrones" that many are used to tasting in the coastal area of Cádiz. In Seville, chicharrones refers to a type of sausage that is prepared with pork, fat and spices, all cooked over a low heat so that it falls apart and is then left to cool and solidify. This delicacy is very tasty and has a soft but compact texture. It is served in thin slices or chunks, and is ideal with bread, as a tapa or appetizer.
Seville is not only known for its impressive architecture and vibrant culture, but also for its delicious pastries. The Sevillian sweets are a blend of Arab and Christian influences reflected in unique flavours, textures and traditional recipes.
Seville's sweets are especially enjoyed during Holy Week and other religious festivities. If you are a dessert lover, you can't miss the following must-try sweets on your visit to Seville.
Torrijas are a very popular sweet all over Spain.but in Andalusia they have a special touch. They are slices of bread (usually loaf bread or special bread for torrijas) that are soaked in a mixture of milk usually flavoured with cinnamon and lemon rind, sugar, and eggs, and then fried in olive oil and sprinkled with more sugar and cinnamon to taste. Sometimes they can also be dipped in honey to give them an extra touch of sweetness.
The pestiños are another traditional sweet, especially popular in western Andalusia. Pestiños are small portions of fried dough, similar to a kind of puff pastry or shortcrust pastry, which are flavoured with spices such as aniseed and cinnamon. After frying, they are soaked in honey or sprinkled with sugar, they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are typical of Christmas and Easter celebrations.
The buds of San Leandro are a delicious traditional sweet from Seville, very popular throughout Andalusia. This dessert has a strong link with Holy Week as the recipe was created in a convent of Clarisas in Seville. They are characteristically egg yolk sweets, with a smooth texture and a very delicate flavour, made mainly with egg yolks, sugar, almonds and sometimes orange blossom water (orange blossom) to give them a more floral touch.
For breakfast or an afternoon snack, churros with hot chocolate are a tradition. In Seville, you'll find places where they serve homemade churros accompanied by thick chocolate for dipping, which is perfect to end a day of exploring the city. Churros are a crispy, fried dough, usually made with flour, water, salt and sometimes a touch of sugar. The dough is fried in hot oil until golden brown and crispy on the outside, but tender on the inside, and served with thick hot chocolate or sugar.

When you visit a place with such an authentic and special gastronomy, it's natural to want to enjoy it to the full, eat like a local and try its most traditional dishes.

Seville, like all good Andalusian and Spanish cities, follows a meal schedule that may surprise visitors. In Spain, lunch is usually served between 14:00 and 16:00.with 14:00 to 15:00 being the busiest time. If you haven't booked in advance, you're likely to struggle to find a table at that time.

This way you will avoid the rush, you will enjoy a faster service and you will immerse yourself in the local atmosphere, surrounded by Sevillians having their first beers at the bar, a true tradition in the city.
