Sevilla Food

Sevilla loves its tapas. Locals spend their evenings relaxing and socializing over plates of caracoles (snails) and fresh seafood, while sipping glasses of sangria and tinto de verano (red wine and lemon soda). For those on a tight budget, markets such as Mercado de la Encarnación, Pl. de la Encarnación (typically open M-Sa 8am-2pm; temporarily closed due to construction), and the more modern Mercado del Arenal, on C. Pastor y Landero (open M-Sa 9am-3pm), have fresh meat and produce. For a supermarket, try the mammoth basement of El Corte Inglés in Pl. del Duque de la Victoria (☎954 279 397), the Mercadona in the Centro Commercial Plaza de Armas next to the bus station, or any of the smaller grocery chains, like %Día, Mas, and Super Sol.
