El Rinconcillo
Seville's oldest tavern, opened in 1670, which still tallies bills in chalk on the bar counter, famous for its spinach with chickpeas.
Located at Calle Gerona 40 in the Santa Catalina neighborhood, this tavern dates back to 1670 and is known as the oldest bar in Seville. Bartenders still write the tab in chalk on the wooden bar counter, a favorite detail for visitors. The signature dish is spinach with chickpeas (espinacas con garbanzos), served as tapas or full portions, and the fried cod (pavía de bacalao) is also famous. Despite the heavy tourist presence, local food websites agree it has preserved its character and quality. Operating hours and closing days vary across sources, so calling ahead to confirm is recommended.
