Summary

Seville food tour tasting churros vermut tapas in Triana streets

You’ll taste fresh churros with hot chocolate, sip vermut alongside locals in Triana, sample over 12 Andalusian tapas including pringa sandwiches and pork cheeks stew, and hear stories behind every dish from your guide. Expect laughter, new flavors, and a little bit of Seville sticking with you long after you leave.

What’s the experience like?

I almost missed the first stop because I got distracted by a street musician outside Metropol Parasol — the guide, Marta, just grinned and waved me over. That set the tone: nothing rushed. She handed me a paper cone of churros so fresh they steamed in the cool air, dipped into thick chocolate that stuck to my fingers (and probably my chin). I tried to ask for more like a local but tripped over the word — Li laughed and said I sounded French. So yeah, not my most graceful start.

We wandered through Seville’s old lanes, Marta pointing out how the light changes on Plaza de España’s tiles when the sun shifts — I’d never noticed that before. The smell of fried eggplant drifted out of a tiny bar near Triana; inside it was all clatter and chatter, people shouting orders for vermut and pinchito skewers. I’m not sure what I expected from pringa (it looked like just another sandwich), but it was salty and rich and honestly better than any pulled pork back home. Anchovies in vinegar were sharper than I thought they’d be — made my mouth water in a good way.

The walk between stops wasn’t long but gave us time to watch locals squeeze past each other in impossibly narrow alleys, balancing plates or waving to friends across little plazas. At one point we stopped at Torre del Oro just as bells started ringing somewhere — everyone went quiet for a second, then someone’s phone rang with flamenco music and everyone laughed again. The spinach with chickpeas surprised me; it tasted earthy and comforting, nothing like what I’d imagined from reading about Andalusian food online.

I kept thinking about how every place had its own story — Marta knew half the bartenders by name and told us which abuela made the pork cheeks stew at our last stop (her secret is orange zest). We finished with something she called “the secret dish” — no spoilers here — but it felt like being let in on something only locals get to try. My shoes were dusty by then and my stomach full enough that even the river breeze felt heavy. Still can’t believe how much flavor fits into one day trip around Seville’s neighborhoods.
