Tapas, Tapas, Tapas
Today was all about food.
The morning began with a walk across the Puente De Isabel Bridge to a local food market, selling fresh fruit and meat.
Walking through the crowded market and watching the stall owners barter with such vigour really made me feel like we had found a pocket of Spanish culture and had embedded ourselves in it.
On every corner you are enticed by a number of tapas restaurants each serving a delicious array of Sevilla style tapas at very affordable prices, so it is easy to eat to your hearts content on a budget. After drooling at several menus we chose a little tapas place on the corner called 'Bars Gonzalo', which had a great menu and offered a lovely view of the main street near the main attractions. We eventually settled for five tapas, beer and wine which only came to 18 euros.
I think that something about the Spanish Sun makes you crave siestas. Being an avid napper myself this is the only place where I can indulge in my usual afternoon nap without feeling guilty as, the whole town falls into a slumber between 3pm to 5pm. Considering my unconditional love for naps, I embraced with my arms wide open and woke up in time to enjoy some sangria in a local bar near our apartment.
Once again we took to wandering the streets in search of a restaurant for dinner. After about 40 minutes we discovered it, the best tapas restaurant I been to since arriving in Seville, Bar Estrella.
Bar Estrella is tucked away on a little street near the Museo del bail Flamenco, not only does it serves the best food ever but it possibly one of the cutest restaurants I have ever seen.
Plus, a horse and carriage rode by so hey!
Stuffed mushroom with meat and tomato sauce, Stuffed avocado, Fried goat cheese and tomato slices on toast, Camembert cheese filled with prawns, grilled chicken and beef with roasted peppers and chunky chips.
The food was too good to resist and we spent the evening stuffing ourselves to brim before the waddle home.
Love,
