oh
hello this is paul and haley from
journey
or should i say
hello in spanish because we are in
seville the home of the tapa or tapas
now in the uk we have an interesting
relationship with tapas in that
we don't have a selection that you have
here in seville
and for instance you just get three
meatballs three meatballs there's four
of us five night nine you're having a
laugh aren't
so there's um and of course you have the
uh potato brow verse which is
essentially just
slightly roasted potatoes with a bit of
tomato sauce on it so it's slightly
limited and it's not as vast as the many
menus that you get here so what we want
to do
is
come here
see what they've got to offer and then
do essentially a tapas crawl which is
what you're meant to do you mean to have
one or two tapas or tapa
in um
in each of the bars and then move on to
the next one and again i have a glass of
cherry glass of wine or a tavetha
um a small beer
yeah that's what we're looking forward
to doing is just trying as much as we
possibly can and see what we can find
[Music]
what better place to start than this
place called el rincon
which means the corner
and it is the oldest tapas bar the
oldest bar in seville which makes it the
oldest type of bar in the world so
they've just given us a menu they said
what do you want to drink and we said ah
but we're enjoying ourselves on the mess
and so we're gonna have a look at the
menu see what we've got
yes
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
say more fish
white bait
that's it that's what i've got here
cheese that we didn't particularly order
but
looks amazing just had a little bit and
it is amazing
dorito
proper
spiced paprika spiced chorizo
and then
the big boy
the iberico ham so it's a specific type
of pig
acorn fed pig
haley
how am i very cool
take me through the flavors take me to
the textures
is it nice
really nice thin
slices
amazing
that's the anchovies
with tomatoes
and then
the homemade
croquettas
looks nice and that you spilled
what an embarrassment it's just
embarrassing
you try one
there's no ham
oh my god
that's good
wow
it's like
like a souffle
inside
with bits of ham in it and then really
crispy on the outside
oh my god that's nice
so we finished most of it
a bit too much cheese which we didn't
order
said yesterday
but i think in hindsight
generally if you're gonna tap this bar
crawl
go for one or two tablets in each place
okay on to the next
as you can see from
the outside
there's a long queue to get in i mean
it's madness it's it's about 20 minutes
half an hour who are we in there for
yeah of absolute madness
you're
piled on to a like a barrel table oh
what do you want what do you want cheese
cheese cheese wine there we go
and then
and you kind of come out the other side
like you've been kicked up your ass
i was interested
[Music]
something that i really like about
seville
is that they don't seem to take
advantage of the
of the tourists so in london so we just
ordered
a bottle of water
to serve
small small beers
nice i guess that would be about 15
euros which is what it would be in
london
but it's not it was was it five euros
[Music]
see
yeah great tapas see someone just had
some
promising little bits of brother i think
someone's got some sort of odd squeak in
there and it looked like it was falling
off
so while you're standing outside the
window
and watch
children
it looks like doesn't it
so we've gone for this is the menu
looks really good food so we've gone for
the pork cheek stew which is what i
think i saw someone have in there looks
lovely
[Music]
and then the toasted bread with tomato
aubergine
bucket oil and basil which is a classic
bruschetta out here by the looks of it
is it definitely classic
jessica oh classical okay
[Music]
and potato
so imagine the breakfast
but with pork cheek on top with a bit of
honey
[Music]
mushrooms
so this is the one that we made
it is the morning
today we're we're leaving we're only
here for
for two nights
but we're on the search for a lovely
breakfast some seville orange juice nice
coffee
and um there's a dish that they have in
seville tomatoes on toast or toasted
bread it's not quite toast
so i'm looking forward to trying that
[Music]
what's in the menu
lots of different breakfasts the all of
them come with fresh orange juice
and to your coffee but i'm going to go
for the spanish breakfast which is the
close to about ham
the olive oil
fresh tomatoes
didn't get coffee yesterday but got
coffee this morning and it was a good
damn good coffee
it just tastes better than any coffee at
home
and finally some seville
orange juice a little color on that
and it is
really
tomato on toasted bread but as usual the
star
a burger ham
it's not as it's not as good as the
hamlet we had in them
um that was a lot fattier but this is
still very nice but it's probably not
the acom
fed because there's different grades
running from black to white label black
being the best white being the not the
worst but
it's not acorn fed it's fed on other
stuff
what do you think
delicious
[Music]
so we've got a few of these
which is the
white grade oh there we go
and then
show the black one that label
and this is the
that's the really good stuff so the
black labels that's the best you can get
100 acorn fed
by bearing black pig
[Music]
anchovies
maybe tomatoes olive oil a little bit of
garlic
this is
libero tapas
we professed it early on this morning
so i think we'll just sit down here a
little drink
thank you booze
so we're going to choose one each from
the menu
i think i'm going to go for
artichokes or
gazpacho
which is um in seville it's made from
just tomatoes and garlic rather than
other vegetables like you do in normal
gazpacho
hey what do you think you have
um either
spanish over there or the smoked
sardines
smoked sardines
try smoked sardines
okay
mandatory bread
i like it
a few bones in here but
we'll see how that works out
nothing completely different sardines
out here
the ones at home and like you know i'm
getting tan these are so fresh and it
smells lovely look
let's try the spatula so obviously it's
so cold this metro
that's really nice just what you want
what is
what
is it man
38.
bacon so yeah dispatch is very much
welcome
do you have to say this these sardines
are just beautiful
really nice and can i use the word moist
so the
bill was 10.90 so what's that about nine
pounds i guess just over there
and the gazpacho was yeah 260. sardines
was 380.
and then the pequena salve which is a
small beer
it's a pretty good value and then 290
for the the wine which was
a nice wine
it's just slightly northwest of the
cathedral
and
just south of plaza nuevo just like a
green park area you've got this area
it's not often in seville actually we've
noticed that you get lots of
bars and cafes in one area
generally it's kind of you find a little
tapas bar here and there
this is quite nicer like this
so we've ordered two
tapas
what we've got four salads which is on
every menu have no idea what it is but
i'll give it a go this one comes with
dried tomato and anchovies and then
the classic potato bravos but let's see
how the spanish do it suppose yeah i
think it'll be a different version of
potato brothers than we're we're used to
yeah
right that's the russian salad less of a
salad more of a kind of
it's like
like a potato salad type salad
and then potato bravos one thing that
we've noticed straight away
it's not like a dark red tomato sauce
which is interesting
but it looks nice
that's interesting it's not like our one
that's um got a lot more flavor
so it's like it's i must have cream or
something and then on the top i think
that's
um
sage i think
but that's what i like about them
it's like crispy
probably an olive oil would have thought
to get there
it's really nice
yeah i like this
what do you think
potatoes are great
what about the salad
is it your sort of thing
it's actually quite nice is it yeah
[Music]
so here it is our last
tapas bar of the trip i quite like about
it is that
looks like there's only locals
out here rather than tourists
hello
[Laughter]
hot and that is it that's a
trip to seville two nights done
it's been the lovely
that's it we're gonna get taxed at the
airport and go back home
but it's been
really good
[Music]
