Where can we eat at the Barça stadium in Seville this weekend?

SevilleSeville has a special color, everyone knows it, but it also has good bars and restaurants where you can enjoy the best tapas this weekend, when Barça plays Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final at La Cartuja. And we'll be able to do this easily because to enter Seville Cathedral and the Giralda (the bell tower), the best advice is to buy one. Advance tickets, priced at 39.99 euros each, because it's the way to ensure entry. However, plan to queue, because there's always a line.

The city is also a great place to walk, both in the center and in one of its iconic neighborhoods, Triana, full of color and with a well-known market. But we came here to eat well, as well as watch some good soccer, so we started with a selection of bars to sample the most typical tapas.

At the Bodeguita Casablanca (c. Adolfo Rodríguez Jurado, 12), there are three dishes that they always recommend: the fried fish, spinach with chickpeas, cheeks Iberian, shrimp omelette or serranito chicken, which is the sandwich of Seville, and which is one of the most beloved preparations by the people of Seville.

Acedias and cured meats in the best tapas bars in Seville

We continue with tapas, and we go to Riconcillo (c. Gerona, 40), where they will tell you that you are in the oldest bar in Seville, founded in 1670. You can eat a plate of spineless pijotas, that is, small boneless, fried whiting, or othertrammel net, that is, small white fish, much loved by the people of Seville, which may remind us of sole, but which is not quite what it is either. Each of the generous dishes costs fourteen euros. Also take note of the charcuterie plates, cured meats They call it that, because you will find Iberian ham and sausage and also the typical morcón Iberian (chorizo).

From Riconcillo to the Giralda bar (c. Mateos Gago, 1) to taste the Giralda salad, carved and goat cheese; cuttlefish, which are small cuttlefish.

We continue through the center and go to the Cinco Jotas restaurant (c. Castelar, 1), one of the prized brands of Iberian ham, which is What Hollywood actors and actresses can eat each year. In the city center, they have a restaurant with different spaces: from the bar, where you can eat tapas standing up, to an interior room with tables, and a third option: the outdoor terrace, where you can capture the comings and goings of the city. In each of the spaces, opt for the Iberian ham plate, which will be sliced by hand. Another option is the Iberian cured meats board, and above all, be sure to try the Iberian ham croquettes with emulsion. fine, of cockroach Specifically. The best thing, as you'll find in many of Seville's wineries and taverns, is the atmosphere, with Iberian hams always hanging from the ceiling. A plate of four croquettes costs 9.75 euros.

We now head to Casa Morales (c. García de Vinuesa, 11). We'll visit a traditional tavern from 1850, with a bar, tables, and the names of the tapas written in plaster on the wineskins. Try the stews, served as tapas, such as the tagarnina, which combines this vegetable with chickpeas and potatoes, and now that it's season for broad beans, they are also found stewed.

Hand-cut ham in the best bars in Seville

And now it's the turn of one of the references of the tapas In Seville, Las Teresas (c/ Santa Teresa, 2), where you'll see how they carve the ham without using a ham holder, but the space is also quite unique and attractive. With an impressive bar, with all the hams lined up next to each other, with a small bowl at the end to collect any fat that may fall, you can choose whether to eat the tapas on the outdoor terrace, standing at the bar, or sitting at the tables. Apart from the cold meat tapas, with Iberian ham as their flagship, you can taste Iberian pork presa and secreto, grilled; baby squid; all kinds of stews; and, pay attention to the preserves, such as dried tuna Barbete (made from the noble parts of the tuna).

We head to a new winery, now called Santa Cruz Las Columnas (c/ Rodrigo Caro, 1), always with a great atmosphere. Take note of the unusual dishes they cook, such as the potato omelette in whisky or the spinach with five cheeses. You'll also find tapas, pan-fried meats, and especially the charcuterie plates. The best thing about the Santa Cruz Las Columnas winery is the price, which varies depending on whether you order a tapa, a half portion, or a full portion. To drink, you'll find, of course, the rebujito in a glass, which will not be lacking in all of Seville, and even less so when there are only a few days left until the beloved April Fair begins.

Finally, for those who want to take home some typical Sevillian sweets, stop by the El Torno shop (pl. del Cabildo, 2), very close to the cathedral, where you'll find a thousand and one pastries made by the convents. It's a small establishment, tucked into an interior courtyard, but all the sweets are neatly arranged on the shelves, so you can choose one or the other. And last but not least, for history lovers, the General Archive of the Indies, also located in the center, is free to enter.
