Antiguo Bar El Comercio

A 1904 tavern in Santa Cruz unchanged for over a century — stunning azulejo tilework, cold sherry, and simple tapas with no pretension. Order a cold fino or manzanilla with olives, almonds, and jamón, but the tiled interior is the real attraction. Come in the afternoon for the time-capsule atmosphere, pairing it with nearby Casa de Pilatos. It is an essential old-Seville experience — a genuine turn-of-the-century tavern where the tilework and the unbroken tradition matter more than any modern flourish. Over 120 years on the same corner, it remains exactly itself: cold sherry, plain tapas, beautiful tiles.
