El Cordobes

The tapas(barsnacks)hereare enormous,which meansyou can eat very cheaply.
Youcouldeasilyhavea goodmealwith a drinkfor €5.
My favouritedish is pol/o con salsade almendra(chickenin almondsauce)and
I also lovetheir c hampiñonesrebozados(friedmushroomsstuffedwith ham and
sausage).
Theyalsodo lotsof grilledfish and meat.

place- and writeyour nameon the chalkboard.The restaurantis at PlazaCristo
de Burgos,19. The squarehas quitea few treesso you can get someshadewhile

is expensive,but it's got the bqst ice creaml've tastedin Seville.(PlazaCristo
and east of the mainEl CorteInglés

El Cordobesis in SantaMaríala Blanca,a
busysquarein the Santa Cruzarea.Youcan
eithereat insideor out. I preferto sit outside
underthe orangetrees.

lt is worth goingto El Faro(lighthouse)
for ihe viewsalone.lt's right next to the
riveron the Trianaside,at the end of the Puentelsabelll (lsabelll bridge).(Locals
call this the Puentede Triana.)Also it's on four floors.Froma table on the rooftop
terrace,you get a fantasiicview towardsthe bullringand the cathedral.lt's easyto
get a tableon the tenaceat lunchtime,

but you'llsoonfind out why- the suncan
you
burn
at ihis time of day.
El Farois famousfor its fish and seafood.The garnbas(prawns)andpescadofrito
- we shareda plateof fish and it was big
(mixedfriedfish)arehighlyrecommended
