Flamenco and Tapas in Seville, Seville, Spain

Spend an evening in Seville to the rhythm of flamenco and clinking glasses, and discover that its culture is not something you visit-it is something you taste, hear, and feel deep in your heart.

Across the Guadalquivir River from the historic heart of Seville lays La Triana, a neighborhood that has lived to the rhythms of flamenco since the 18th century. This once working-class district-where gypsies and Moorish settled just a bridge away from the wealth of the capital of Andalusia-remains the soul of southern Spain’s most passionate art form. Experience it yourself in the cradle of flamenco!

In Spain, savoring tapas with a drink is practically a national sport. And in Triana, tasting the local flavors is the best way to start your cultural immersion.

Start your evening at Café Ceuta, a local’s favorite spot near the lively Triana Market. The walls tiled in classic ceramic tiles and atmospheric bar invites you to indulge in local specialties. Begin with mojama, often referred to as “Iberian ham of the sea”-a delicacy of salt-cured tuna, a preserving technique dating back to Phoenician times.
