Once upon a time a no-go area in Seville, the Alameda de Hercules is a long boulevard that has evolved into a spot where Seville’s young and hip crowd, or those just looking for a relaxed atmosphere, come on any given night of the week to hang out over a ‘cerveza’ or two.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

However, it’s not just a great place to have a drink<\/a>, it also happens to be a great area to grab some tapas and you can even party long into the night here<\/a>. The boulevard itself, as well as the surrounding neighborhood, is filled with bars ranging from the very traditional, to fusion and modern offerings<\/a>. So if you are wondering where to eat in Seville, here are our favorite spots in the Alameda neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eslava<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seville’s gastro-tapas scene has boomed over the recent years. Eslava<\/a> was one of the first around, and still a firm favorite of ours. Popular with locals and tourists alike, crowds flock to the bar almost every night of the week. We love that Eslava combines the gastro-tapas theme with the buzz of a traditional local bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the menu you will find local, traditional tapas such as solomillo<\/em> (pork loin) and costillos<\/i> (pork ribs), but done in their own unique way. Then on the other hand, Eslava also boasts some creative, award-winning tapas such as the slow-cooked egg served on boletus cake with caramelized wine reduction. This is one of our personal favorites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antigua Abacer\u00eda de San Lorenzo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Abacer\u00edas<\/em> are part grocery store, part simple tapas bar, and they have really found their place in Seville’s tapas scene in recent years. A typical abacer\u00eda<\/em> will serve beer and wine alongside cold cuts, cheeses, and other simple, quickly prepared tapas. The Abacer\u00eda de San Lorenzo<\/a> feels a lot older than it really is, but despite only operating in its current format since renovations in 2007, it definitely retains an antique vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from a impressive list of cheese and cold cuts, they also do a small selection of cooked dishes that are worth trying. The friendly owners go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable and well looked after, adding to an already wonderful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
