  3. Álvaro Peregil

    This tiny bar has not much more in terms of decoration than garlic bunches hanging overhead and a couple of tall tables outside to rest your tapas on. But the food is so good you'll need nothing more. The salmorejo (a thicker version of gazpacho) is particularly good, with strips of jamón sprinkled over the top; try the orange wine, made from Seville's famous (and ubiquitous) oranges.
