Local Cuisine
Seville's culinary landscape is a vibrant reflection of Andalusian cuisine, deeply rooted in Mediterranean and Moorish influences. The city's food culture revolves around tapas, small plates meant for sharing, which transform dining into a social experience. Sevillanos typically enjoy late lunches around 2-3 PM and even later dinners starting around 9-10 PM, with a strong emphasis on leisurely meals that bring family and friends together.
The region's cuisine is characterized by fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with an abundance of seafood from the nearby Atlantic and Mediterranean, olive oil from local groves, and a rich variety of fruits and vegetables. Cooking techniques often highlight simple preparations that allow the natural flavors of ingredients to shine, with a heavy influence from historical Arabic and Jewish culinary traditions that shaped the region's gastronomic identity.
