It’s popular for a reason! This delicious wine-based cocktail is best enjoyed straight from a pitcher on a sunny terrace with friends. Ready to drink some delicious sangria in Seville? Here are our top picks where you can enjoy this popular drink like a local.
Insider’s Tip: Sangria has undoubtedly Spanish roots, but nowadays it might be more popular abroad than here in Spain!

Lindsey – we were in Sevilla last week and ate at El Cairo. The sangria was like Ambrosia. Any idea how to get the recipe? Thanks.
