What began as an accidental food blog back in the spring of 2007 is now probably the most complete guide (in English) for tapas bars and restaurants in Sevilla, with approximately 300 listed, rated and updated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Each restaurant and tapas bar has its own page, listed alphabetically, which can be found on the <strong>Tapas Bars &amp; Restaurants<\/strong> drop-down menu in the sidebar on the left. You can also find places listed by neighbourhoods (barrios) and cuisine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2009 I began offering <a href=\"https:\/\/azahar-sevilla.com\/sevilletapas\/tapas-tours\/\"><strong>my food and wine tours<\/strong><\/a>, a natural progression from running this website, which had allowed me to get to know the bars, their owners and staff in a more intimate way, so that I became a part of their world. These <em>tapeos<\/em> are based on the way I take out friends who visit, and are specifically designed so that people don&#8217;t feel like they are on a &#8220;tour&#8221;. Eventually what began as a hobby has become my full time work, something I am very proud of and remain passionate about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sevilla Tapas<\/strong> isn\u2019t commercially driven. There is no advertising and no restaurants pay me for reviews, nor do I accept free meals in exchange for promotion. Turns out I&#8217;m not very good at the whole influencer thing. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But&#8230; if you have enjoyed my content over the years and would like to help support it, there are<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/bitesizesevilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ko-fi<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/AzaharSevilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Patreon<\/strong><\/a> buttons in the sidebar.
