Sevilla 🇪🇸 16💶 per capita to eat against the wall and go out

🍷 La Bodega de la Alfalfa: Seville’s Steal-of-a-Meal Spot (Worth the 40°C Wait) Scrolling through photos of this meal in bed, and I’m already craving it again. Spain’s callos a la riojana (red wine-braised oxtail) lives up to the hype—and this Seville spot serves it perfectly. 🍲 The Food: Rich, Tender, and Unapologetically Satisfying Red Wine-Braised Oxtail 🥘 Showstopper. The meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, swimming in a deep, savory red wine sauce. We ordered the large portion—three hefty pieces—and it was more than enough (though we still cleaned the plate). Braised Pork Cheeks 🐷 : So flavorful it’s almost ridiculous. Slow-cooked to melt-in-your-mouth perfection, with a rich, herby sauce that begs for bread to soak it up. Chicken Meatballs 🍢 : Juicy and well-spiced—only downside? A sprinkle of cilantro (not a fan, but easy to pick around). Fried Baby Squid 🦑: Crispy, but the salt was a bit hit-or-miss (some bites were salty, others mild). Still tasty, though. Sangria 🍷: Classic and refreshing—fruity, lightly boozy, and the perfect match for the rich dishes. 😅 The (Sweaty) Adventure to Get There After touring Seville’s Royal Alcázar, we initially planned to hit La Bartola—until we saw tons of reviews calling it a letdown. Quick pivot to La Bodega de la Alfalfa! But Seville’s 40°C heat? Brutal. We arrived at 12:28—two minutes before their 12:30 opening—and got shut out. Worth the wait, though: by 12:30, we were seated, and by 1:00, we were stuffed. 💰 The Deal 4 people, 4 dishes, 4 drinks = €64.5. Insane value. And with tapas-sized portions available, even solo travelers can sample a little bit of everything—no FOMO here. La Bodega de la Alfalfa isn’t just a meal—it’s a reminder of why Spanish food wins hearts: bold flavors, generous portions, and prices that make you want to stay forever. #SevilleEats #SpanishComfortFood #TravelFoodie #BudgetEatsSpain
