Tiny triangular bar on corner. Unusually staffed by girls, stocked extensively, & patronised by a youthful & enthusiastic clientele. More

Pretty much alike as many of the cheaper local extablishments. I found this bar neither special nor lacking. It's catering for the tourist trade, and it does it well. Nothing much else to say really. More

This is one of my long-time Seville favourites for its buzzing atmosphere, genuinely friendly staff and, above all, surprisingly innovative tapas. There's always a board of specials priced around 2.50 each and, though you most probably won't understand it (unless you're extremely well versed in Spanish culinary lingo) it's always a good bet. That said, should you have any doubts... More

As others have said, this place is tiny and it gets incredibly busy with locals spilling out on to the street, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in personality and charm. There are some Italian influenced specials and a concise tapas menu, a list of excellent wines and sherries, and very friendly staff who appreciated our... More

We found this in the Footprint Guide. Small place with amazing italian tapas, great bruschetta & lovely wine. We liked it so much we came back for lunch the next day. Staff friendly, & good airconditioning so great place to escape from the heat! More

Local tapas bar in the Alfalfa neighbourhood. Good relaxed vibe, with people spilling out into the street when it gets packed (which it easily can given the small size). More

The place is tiny--maybe 20 places, including standing room. But worth the crowd and the wait. Excellent pan con tomate, jamon iberico (hams hanging in the window tell you you're in the right place), seafood stew. And good selection of wines. More

On the last day of 7 and a 1/2in the wonderful city of Sevilla we came across this place pretty much by accident (though had heard of it). Old, a bit funky - in a good way - and staffed by 3 lovely women. Two walls were wine bottles. Quick glass of wine turned into one then, two more and... More
