A classic corner bar in the literal shadow of the Giralda, pouring cold sherry and simple tapas to a crowd that comes as much for the cathedral-side people-watching as the food. Order a cold fino or manzanilla, a few simple tapas, and let the Giralda do the rest — the atmosphere is the main course. Afternoons are the time, when the light is good and the square flows past. Yes, it sits in the tourist heart of Santa Cruz, but the tradition is real and unbroken; this is a Seville ritual with one of the great views in Spain thrown in for free.
