Breakfast in Seville
La Cacharerría de Sevilla: Breakfast in Seville is all about your beloved “tostada” (toast) and this place does a slightly modern twist on the toppings. Offering homemade jams, and freshly crushed tomato and ham (the best option!), make sure you wash everything down with a freshly squeezed orange juice.
Calle Regina, 14
Bar El Pilar: Fight your way to the counter one morning to order a café con leche y churros (or if you have a sweet tooth, opt for the rich cup of chocolate).
Calle José Laguillo, 2
