Tortilla de patatas

Spanish omelette for everyone! Is there anything more popular in Spain than a Spanish omelette (tortilla de patatas)? Probably not. The reason: it’s delicious and in the centre of Seville they know that. As such – and because World Spanish Omelette Day will take place on 9th March – we want to reveal the places in Seville that make it the best.

Spanish omelette for everyone while visiting Seville

If you’re thinking about doing some sightseeing in the capital of Andalusia, there will certainly be many places that you’d like to visit. So that you don’t faint on the way, what better thing than to make a stop to regain your strength and try one of the most famous Spanish dishes of all time: the Spanish omelette (tortilla de patatas).

Las tortillas de Eva

This restaurant is specialised in both Spanish omelettes and different garnishes so that you can have your meal with your favourite side. It also offers an enormous variety of recipes that you can also take away to eat wherever you want.

Bar Santa Marta

Found in the centre of Seville, this bar’s specialty is this particular dish. The enormous flavour of its omelettes, as well as their juiciness, wins over all who try them.

Bodeguita Casablanca

This place is very popular as it has a culinary specialty that, if you haven’t already tried, you really must: the tortilla a la whisky. And if it has been freshly made, you’ll find it hard not to have seconds.

Petra

This particular establishment in the capital of Andalusia serves a delicious Spanish omelette alongside a very generous portion of salsa alioli (garlic mayonnaise). Even though there are many who believe that it’s so good it doesn’t need a side of any kind, what’s true is that it is a magnificent combination.

Real Venta Pilín

Set in the Tablada neighbourhood, this place offers you the chance to enjoy a good portion of omelette, surrounded by vegetation and in complete peace. However, you don’t have to try it in the setting itself. It’s also possible to buy it to enjoy its incredible flavour during your travels around Seville.

‘El Tete’ Cafe and Grocer’s

This establishment is especially famous in Seville’s Aljarafe region, as it’s one of the places to make the most portions of Spanish omelette every day in this city. The combinations to sample are almost infinite, including omelette with peppers and onion, omelette with chorizo and garlic, omelette with tuna and omelette with vegetables.

Bar José Luis

Freshly made in just a moment. That’s how they serve omelettes in this bar in the centre of Seville. On top of that, everyone likes them – both those who prefer them runny and those who eat them more set, as they prepare them to perfection.

Blanco Cerrillo

Even though this place in the centre of Seville is well-known, above all, for its delicious, marinated anchovies, their Spanish omelette is also well worth a try. Ask for a tapa of each and savour them peacefully in the must-visit bar.

A Lembranza

This Galician restaurant serves omelette in the Betanzos style – essentially, with no onion, a little underdone and very juicy. What’s more, it’s so underdone that the egg spills over the plate. What a treat!

A las dos y pico

In the centre of Seville: Royal Alcazar of Seville and Cathedral

To start out on a high, spend your first day in the centre of Seville. First stop, the Royal Alcazar palaces. A must-see, make sure to take your time exploring this incredible complex. Construction of the walled precinct began in the 9th century and its style has been influenced by different cultures over the years. You will find yourself in the midst of palaces, gardens, alcoves and a succession of patios in styles ranging from Arab and Gothic to Mudejar and Renaissance.

Continue your tour of Seville by heading for the Cathedral of Santa María. This impressive building is the world’s largest gothic temple. Its majestic proportions will leave you speechless. Stand in awe of its beauty both inside and out and feel humbled by its grandiose scale. Interesting fact: during your visit you’ll be able to see the tomb of Christopher Columbus.

One of the defining features of this cathedral is that it was built on the site of a mosque, with its Patio de los Naranjos  (orange tree patio) and the famous Giralda testifying to its Arab past. The Giralda  is none other than the minaret of the former mosque. Climb to the top of this iconic monument and let your gaze rove over the city from a height of 100 metres. But don’t worry, you won’t have to climb flights and flights of stairs to get there. Just a series of 35 ramps. The once sultan of the city chose this unusual design so that he could reach the top of the minaret astride his horse. During its conversion to a Christian place of worship, the top section was added as a bell tower.

Highlights of central Seville: General Archive of the Indies, Santa Cruz and Triana neighbourhoods

Continue your visit at the Archive of the Indies. This handsome building houses all kinds of documents from an era when Seville was the principal trade hub with America. Maps of the colonies and other curiosities are sure to delight history lovers. It’s only a short stop en route, with free entry.

Continuing our route in the centre of Seville , it’s time to lose yourself in the labyrinthine streets of the Santa Cruz neighbourhood. There’s lots to see, but here it’s not about big monuments. Just open your eyes and follow your feet. Narrow, winding streets and petite patios hidden among whitewashed houses draped in flowers… stimulate your senses while soaking up this neighbourhood’s unique atmosphere.

It’s been a long day. But it’s not over yet. Pick up your bags from luggage storage, take a refreshing shower at your hotel and soak up the essence of Seville in the streets and squares of Triana.

Cross the River Guadalquivir via the Isabel II bridge and you’ll arrive at the neighbourhood of Triana, the heart and soul of Seville. Choose a restaurant for dinner or try a selection of tapas in a local bar. Enjoy a glass of wine or two at a flamenco club or blend in with the locals on the streets of Seville.

Plaza de España and Maria Luis Park

Second and last day in the city. LOCK & enjoy! is a great solution to leave your luggage safe and sound after checking-out of your hotel.

Let’s start at the Plaza de España. Semicircular in shape and bordered by a canal with various bridges, you can enjoy this majestic monument on foot or by boat, if you feel up to rowing. This monumental square is encircled by 48 benches, each decorated with traditional tiles representing Spain’s different provinces… except Seville. At the time of its construction, the Canary Islands were considered a single province.

Next to the square you will find María Luisa Park, one of the city’s many green spaces. Take a stroll among its leafy gardens and refreshing fountains. On your walk you will also come across two stunning buildings in a Neo-Mudejar style, Seville’s Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions.

To top off your tour make your way to the Alameda de Hércules, the city’s trendiest area, and make a farewell toast to the city and its many charms. En route, stop by Las Setas (“the mushrooms”) and have your say about this unusual monument. This controversial wooden and steel structure is completely at odds with the traditional architecture of Seville, yet it’s become in one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

Finally, all that’s left to do is collect your bags if you decide to leave them in luggage storage and bid farewell to Seville. Until next time!
