The 29 best restaurants in Seville
In Seville, you can hop from one traditional tiled tapas bar to the next, trying out small plates of baby clams with artichokes, or wafer-thin slices of jamon iberico. Alternatively, you can slide into a chic velvet booth and dine on crab tacos and tuna ceviche. Instead of sangria, an over-priced tourist cliché, order like a local and go for tinto de verano (red wine with soda water) – or else sample the sherry selection, available in most restaurants. Be aware that you often pay more at an outside table. All our recommendations below have been hand selected and tested by our resident destination expert to help you discover the best restaurants in Seville. Find out more below, or for more Seville inspiration, see our guides to the region's best hotels, bars, things to do and things to do for free.

Find a restaurant by type: Best all-rounders La Azotea With three establishments – a restaurant in San Lorenzo (on Calle Conde de Barajas), a tapas bar opposite, and another in Santa Cruz (Calle Mateos Gago) – La Azotea has blazed the trail for the new gastro-tapas scene since it opened 16 years ago. Décor is simple, with the focus on the food, and the place is always packed. There are four or five daily specials, such as oven-baked rice with rockfish, on top of staples from the menu like filo parcels with cheese, leeks and prawns or the homemade croquettes. Local winery Colonias de Galeon makes a balanced, fruity red, Pinchaperas, which is very much worth trying. The Santa Cruz branch is open all day from breakfast to dinner.

World's best holiday cities revealed and three of them are only two hours from the UK
THREE of the world's best cities are just a few hours away from the UK, offering sun and beautiful sights. Florence, Seville and Porto all won big at the Travel + Leisure Awards 2025 - and you can get to all three of them in just over two hours from the UK. 7 7 Travel + Leisure readers voted for their favourite worldwide cities, and Florence came in at number 11 with a reader score of 90.08 out of 100. Voters praised the capital of Tuscany for its shopping, quality of hotels as well as artistic treasures. There was an honourable mention of the Ponte Vecchio for its incredible views. Florence is considered a romantic city, full of beautiful architecture like the Duomo cathedral, which has its own piazza. It's the ideal destination for art lovers too as its home to work by Michelangelo, Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci. Just because it's a hub of culture, doesn't mean that it's necessarily costly. In fact in Florence you can pick up slices for pizza for €1.50 (£1.30) and pasta dishes from €5 (£4.33). Florence is 80 miles inland, but you could still be at the beach in an hour and a half. Or even head over to Pisa which is an hour and a half by both car and rail. One Sun Travel writer travelled to Florence where she tried olive oil tasting, and checked out the famous sites. You can fly directly from London Gatwick to Florence in two hours 25 minutes. San Sebastian cider season 7 7 Seville came in twelfth place with a reader score of 89.49. It was described as offering a "window on thousands of years of history" with its best site being Alcázar Palace. The Spanish city is famous for its Cathedral and Plaza de España. It's also famous for tapas, Seville orange trees and the traditional art of flamenco - if you're lucky, you'll catch some dancers in the street. Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey visited the city earlier this year - and ventured out on a secret food tour in the southern district of Triana. For anyone wanting to visit Seville Cathedral, Kara discovered 100 free tickets are given out at a certain time of day. You can fly directly from London Gatwick to Seville in two hours 40 minutes. 7 7 Porto, in the northwest of Portugal, is little but packs a punch. The colourful city came in 24th place on the list of Top 25 best cities - and was awarded a reader score of 88.24. Porto is filled with restaurants and bars and, of course, is known for its port wine production. Readers of Travel + Leisure said they love the city because of it's "wine-soaked culture". Porto is found on the River Douro where visitors can take a boat trip or even head down it on a kayak. When one writer visited last year, he couldn't get enough of the custard tarts, or pastel de nata, which he said you can pick up on every street for around €1. And of course there are vineyards aplenty and an opportunity to do tastings all around the city. Brits can fly directly to Porto from several UK airports, including London Gatwick, which takes two hours 20 minutes. Here are 20 of Europe's most beautiful islands that have direct flights from the UK - with the world's best beaches. Plus, the European city with £15 flights that feels like 'going to Japan without the cost'. 7

Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso tells midfielder he will not be leaving club
Real Madrid fans are used to lengthy transfer sagas on one level, with Kylian Mbappe perhaps the longest in recent memory. However the consistence of Dani Ceballos being linked with a move to Real Betis each summer is unfailing at this point. The 28-year-old Seville native signed a new deal with Los Blancos two years ago, keeping him at the club until 2027. Yet in each of the last three summers, Ceballos has been heavily linked with a move back to his first club, Real Madrid. Los Verdiblancos have also flirted with the idea, but made it public that they would not be paying a large transfer fee for Ceballos. Xabi Alonso removes doubt from Ceballos' mind It was reported this week that Ceballos, like teammate Eduardo Camavinga, who has also been lacking game time of late, was not for sale. Cadena SER say that manager Xabi Alonso has gone one further, and told Ceballos that he is going nowhere this summer. Ceballos himself had flirted with the idea, saying publicly that he was 'open to anything', and hinting on social media that he had tried to make the move happen. Yet it appears as if Alonso feels he needs him at any rate. El juagdor del Liverpool Mohamed Salah (I) junto a Dani Ceballos durante el partido de la quinta jornada de la UEFA Champions League entre Liverpool y Real Madrid en Liverpool, Reino Unido. EFE/EPA/PETER POWELL Ceballos' role under Alonso Part of Ceballos' doubts about staying at the club were based on the fact that he received little game time during the Club World Cup, featuring for less than 90 minutes across their six matches. Ceballos is competing with Arda Guler, Aurelien Tchouameni, Fede Valverde, Camavinga and Jude Bellingham next season. Power play from Alonso? It has been widely reported that Alonso feels he needs another midfielder this summer, but the club are reluctant to break the bank to bring him one. Not using Ceballos in the USA may have been his way of showing the board that perhaps he is not convinced by Ceballos, and a fresh recruit was necessary.

Watch – Barcelona fans hurl vile chants targeting Vinicius Jr. ahead of Copa del Rey final
Seville is buzzing as a large number of football fans have thronged the streets ahead of the Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona tonight at Estadio de La Cartuja. There has been a lot of tension in the lead-up to the game and given the rivalry and animosity between the two teams, fans clashing was always a possibility. Advertisement As confirmed by COPE a while back, police have already arrested a Barcelona fan for assaulting a Real Madrid supporter. Barcelona fans chant against Vinicius Jr. Despite that, the Barcelona supporters are still stirring up troubles in Seville as they have taken to hurling vile and abusive chants towards Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr. The Brazilian international has been constantly targeted by fan groups from opposition teams and heading into tonight's grand finale, a section of Barça supporters did the same, as they started chanting: 'Vinicius, d*e.' The rivalry between the two clubs means tempers are expected to flare, but chants of this nature, wishing death on an opponent, are simply unacceptable. Advertisement Vinicius, over the past year and a half or so, has been a target of racist and abusive chants from opposition fans. The Real Madrid superstar, at times, has allowed the frustration and anger get the better of him, but must ignore all the outside noise if he is to lead his team to the trophy tonight.

Real Betis quoted €50m by Manchester United for Antony transfer
Antony has become an instant favourite at Real Betis since arriving on loan from Manchester United during the winter transfer window, and already, supporters are calling for him to remain at the club on a permanent basis. Antony, who turned 25 last week, has made an excellent start to his short spell at the Benito Villamarin, having scored three goals and provided two assists in six appearances – he was also sent off in his latest match against Getafe, although that red card was later overturned on appeal. Advertisement All parties have enjoyed these last few weeks, and with Antony having commented that he is already loving life at Betis, there has been talk of a deal possibly being made permanent in the summer. For now, the expectation is that Antony will return to Man United in the summer, especially as there is no option to buy for Betis in the loan agreement that was signed in January. However, the Premier League giants appear willing to part ways with the Brazilian winger on a permanent basis, with TuttoMercatoWeb (via ED) reporting that they have set an asking price of €50m – which is approximately half of the amount that they paid to bring him in from Ajax back in 2022. Photo by Getty Images It would mean that Antony would be a record transfer fee for Betis, with their current highest expenditure having been for another Brazilian winger in Denilson, who joined back in 1998 for a fee of €30m. Advertisement Betis are one of several La Liga clubs to have financial issues, so it could be tough for them to have the money available for to sign Antony on a permanent basis. If they can't manage it this summer, then they could miss their opportunity as the report also states that Juventus are keen on him, having been impressed with his exploits in Andalusia over the last few weeks.
