Seville is a city with an amazingly complex and interesting history. But it\u2019s not just the historical recounts and architecture that tell the story of Seville.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apart from a number of fascinating history tours<\/a>, we also have some historic bars in Seville! Each one gives us a fantastic insight into the history of the city. There\u2019s the bar that once upon a time had a winery on site, the bar that was the first place to introduce a special and well-loved wine to Seville, and then there\u2019s the bar with a special claim to fame. Here are 6 historic bars in Seville that you can’t miss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Rinconcillo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with the most iconic of all the historic bars in Seville, a little bar on the outskirts of the center called El Rinconcillo<\/a>. Yes, El Rinconcillo is no longer a well-kept secret. Every guidebook recommends a visit to this bar. But this place is a Seville institution, and for good reason. Its claim fame is that it’s the oldest bar in Seville, dating back to 1670!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once inside the bar, it feels like things haven\u2019t changed for decades. Gruff but friendly waiters, bow-tied and waist-coated, race around serving the crowds. Dusty bottles of wine decorate the walls, jam\u00f3n<\/em> dangles from the ceiling, and your bill will appear on the bar top in chalk. So get yourself a glass of manzanilla<\/em> sherry<\/a>, snack on a tapa of Iberian ham, lean up against the bar and enjoy the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
