They are hearty and unpretentious, with fresh ingredients, robust flavors, and simple recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As tapas developed, they became more elaborate, with each region developing their own specialties. Just like every bar around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/spain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spain<\/a> has its own personality, so do its tapas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some famous places for tapas in Spain that we can recommend on our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/view-trip\/fc56e948\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10-Day Tour of Tapas in Spain<\/a><\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seville, Granada and San Sebastian.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: none; width: 100%; height: 540px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/embedded.php?id=fc56e948\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/view-trip\/fc56e948\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click to visit your tapas trip in Spain<\/a><\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2><b>Best Tapas in Seville<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our tapas tour in Spain begins with a visit to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-654234-3125347.cloudwaysapps.com\/travel-spain-the-best-cities-in-spain-for-2018\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seville<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Located on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, Seville is a product of rich Moorish, Medieval and Roman history. According to legend, the mighty Hercules founded the city. It&#8217;s a wonderful city to wander through. The Moorish palace of Alc\u00e1zar was built in the 14th century and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. I was amazed at the beauty of Seville and planned plenty of time to see the sights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the recommendations of the locals in<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/spain\/andalusia\/seville\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seville<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, my first stop was at Tradevo De Mar. This delightful place lived up to the recommendations, and it has a wonderful selection of creative seafood dishes and tapas with unusual flavors. Each and every item was incredibly fresh. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next place I visited was another local favorite, Az Zait. Not only is the presentation at this restaurant unique, but the food was amazing! I highly recommend booking in advance to make sure you have the chance to try the best tapas in Seville. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4154\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4154\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/spain\/andalusia\/seville\/espana-plaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4154 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-654234-3125347.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Plaza-de-Espana-in-Seville-Spain-a-semi-circular-brick-building-with-a-500-metre-canal-crossed-by-four-bridges-Renaissanceneo-Moorish-in-style-built-for-the-Ibero-American-Exhibition-of-1929..jpg\" alt=\"Plaza de Espana in Seville, Spain. tapas in spain\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-pid=\"4154\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4154\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plaza de Espana, Seville<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4156\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4156\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/spain\/andalusia\/seville\/alcazar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4156 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-654234-3125347.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Tapas-bar-in-Spain.-Spanish-tapas-bar-in-historical-center-of-Seville-at-night.jpg\" alt=\"Tapas bar in Spain.

The city is nestled in Spain\u2019s mountainous Basque Country. The Old Quarter\u2019s narrow winding streets are lined with bars and restaurants. After exploring the Old Quarter, check out the modern city, where you&#8217;ll find plenty of sidewalk cafes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My first stop in San Sebastian is Borda Berri. They make everything on their menu to order, which helps them stand out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another one of my go-to stops is a local favorite, Gorriti. &nbsp;The place is underrated, unpretentious, small, and cozy. Stop by and experience the local vibe where the seafood tapas for lunch were among the best I ate on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/trip-planner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tour of Tapas<\/a> in San Sebastian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Donostia, you might not remember all of tapas bars you hit, but Txepetxa will stand out. The bartenders are friendly, the wine is delicious, and the tapas selection is varied and tasty. I&#8217;ll admit, I wasn&#8217;t the biggest anchovy fan before coming here, and had never really eaten them on their own. However, Txepetxa changed that. Their seafood was fresh and delicious, and this restaurant is worth a visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4157\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4157\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/spain\/basque-country\/san-sebastian\/ondarreta-beach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4157 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-654234-3125347.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/waves-in-Ondarreta-beach-on-the-back-Igeldo-hill-San-Sebastian-Guipuzcoa-Spain.jpg\" alt=\"waves in Ondarreta beach, on the back Igeldo hill; San Sebastian, Guipuzcoa; Spain, tapas in spain\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" data-wp-pid=\"4157\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ondarreta beach, on the back Igeldo hill, San Sebastian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4155\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4155\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.routeperfect.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4155 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-654234-3125347.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Spanish-tapas-called-pintxos-of-the-Basque-country.jpg\" alt=\"Spanish tapas called pintxos of the Basque country, tapas in spain \" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-pid=\"4155\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spanish tapas called &#8220;pintxos&#8221; of the Basque country<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have any other great spots for tapas?
