A
Los Coloniales
It might not look like much from the outside but trust us; this is something very special. It’s hard to pick a favourite dish as everything is outstanding, but we’d never turn down a plate of chorizo a la Asturiana, a divine spicy sausage in an onion sauce served on a bed of lightly fried potato. To follow up try the aubergines in honey. There is another, inferior and more touristy branch, Taberna Los Coloniales, on Calle Jimios near the cathedral.

B
Bodega Santa Cruz
Forever crowded and with a mountain of paper on the floor, this place is usually standing room only, with tapas and drinks enjoyed alfresco as you dodge the marching army of tourists squeezing through Santa Cruz’s narrow streets.

C
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 and is served with strips of jamón sprinkled over the top; try the orange wine, made from Seville’s famous (and ubiquitous) oranges.

Mesón de la Infanta
If you like your tapas with a touch of class and a glass of cool sherry, indulge in innovative, well-presented dishes at this sevillano favourite. While eating you can ponder the purpose of the tins of peas and jars of jam lined up on the shelves – see if you can solve the mystery!

Bar Alfalfa
It’s amazing how many people, hams, wine bottles and other knick-knacks you can stuff into such a small space. No matter – order through the window when the going gets crowded. You won’t forget the tomato-tinged magnificence of the Italy-meets-Iberia salmorejo bruschetta.

Taberna Los Terceros
It might lack the visual ‘stop dead in your tracks’ look of the nearby El Rinconcillo, but more than a few people say it tops its neighbour for taste. Plus it has a younger, more bohemian clientele. Snails (caracoles) are the house special.

Catalina
If your view of tapas is ‘glorified bar snacks’, then your ideas could be blown out of the water here, with a creative mix of just about every ingredient known to Iberian cooking. Start with the goat’s cheese, aubergine and paprika special.

La Ilustre Víctima
This offbeat place is a popular Alameda hangout, with some curious wall-paintings. The celebrated vegetarian tapas, including calabacines al roque (courgettes with Roquefort cheese), are as tasty as ever, followed by a mint tea.

Café Alianza
Old-fashioned street lights, a trickling fountain and colourful wall plants make this small plaza a charming place to relax with a coffee, and Café Alianza is positioned perfectly for just that. Its tapas nibbles are also good.

La Giganta
Despite being fairly new, this place is renowned for its talent with tapas. While you're here, marvel at the weeds sprouting from the roof of the old church of Santa Catalina nearby.
