Traditional Tapas Route in the Mercado de Abastos and its surroundings
Immersing yourself in the local gastronomy of Dos Hermanas inexcusably involves visiting its lively Mercado de Abastos and the traditional tapas taverns that surround it in the old town. This commercial and authentic environment is the nerve center where the produce of the Sevillian orchard and the nearby lower Guadalquivir are transformed into delicious homemade tapas.
In the nearby stalls and bars, you can taste specialties of the most authentic Andalusian cuisine, from fried fish to traditional stews, Iberian meats, and classic montaditos accompanied by a good local wine or a very cold beer. It is a vibrant experience that allows you to interact with fresh produce and learn firsthand about the hospitable character of the 'nazarenos'.
The bars in the area usually open from the morning for breakfast with local 'mollete' bread until late at night. It is recommended to walk through the pedestrian streets adjacent to the Plaza del Arenal to find the taverns with the most tradition and popular atmosphere.
