This is a quite comprehensive page about tapas in Seville that people from the Departments of Applied Mathematics (I and II) at the Universidad de Sevilla prepared for the 20th European Workshop on Computational Geometry in 2004. We think it is a very good source of information and, hence, we have decided to include it in our homepage.
"Tapas" in Seville:
The name "TAPA" originated from the idea of having a slice of ham or a piece of cheese whilst drinking a glass of wine. This was done, in essence, to conserve the aroma of the wine. "Tapas" include dishes such as "cocina casera" (home-made dishes),"chacina" (cured meats), "marisco" (seafood), "caracoles" (snails), "pescadito frito" (fried fish), "revueltos" (scrambled eggs) and "ensaladas" (salads) which can be found in almost any bar. Another option is to order a "ración"(a plateful) or, in some places, a "media ración"(half plate). A 'plateful' would be about six or seven "tapas" and would cost about that amount.
Typical wines from the Seville area include white wines and "fino" (pale,dry sherries which make good aperitifs). These wines are most easily found in "bodegas" (characterized by their wine barrels where the wine is stored). Another popular wine found in "bodegas" is "manzanilla" (pale,dry,white fortified wine) from Sanlúcar de la Barrameda, "moscatel" (sweet wine) from Chipiona and "fino" from Jerez, Puerto de Santa María, Chiclana (Cádiz) and from the Condado County (Huelva). These wines are usually less expensive than other bottled wines and are equally delicious. With respect to eating out, the following is a glossary of Andalusian and Sevillan specialties:
