    Pull up a chair by the bar in the cozy Bar El Comercio and watch as the owner Paco makes a fresh batch of churros with a cup of hot chocolate. Some say they’re the best in all of Spain, but you’ll have to try them yourself. From the black and white tiled floor to the legs of ham hanging from the ceiling and the fact that the owner was born upstairs, this is one of the best places in Seville to experience food and tradition.
