Taco Tuesday in Spain!! I went to a restauraunt called Mano de Santo where they had great tacos! It was a Mexican restauraunt and plenty of gluten free options. Also, there was plenty of vegan and vegitarian options. There was a mushroom taco. On Tuesdays, specific tacos are only 2 instead 4 . Each serving comes with two small tacos. I got the carnitas and the pollo which came with slices of lemons. The chicken was spicy for me, but still delicious. The carnitos came with a crunchy yellow chip, but I was not sure what it was. Overall, a great restauraunt, affordable, delicious, has a variety of foods and caters well to gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options.

DUO Tapas is a nice tapas bar where you can sit outside. It is near Alameda. I ordered the Patatas Bravas and Croquetas and they were both extremely delicious. The prices were affordable and the portions were filling. It is one of the most adorable locations with such a great atmosphere and the sunlight hits you through the trees. I highly recommend because it has great service, high quality food, and perfect outdoor location.

The Merchant is an Irish pub in Sevilla with a great atmosphere for sports. On Saturday, my friends and I went to watch the Madrid vs Barcelona fútbol (soccer) game. It was a lot of fun and there were people rooting for both teams. Real Madrid won 3-1. There were plenty of options for drinks such as Guinness, but I ended up drinking Cruzcampo. The place had multiple TVs and even large screens in order to watch the game. It had an upstairs and a downstairs seating area. Also, I ordered the nachos which were only 4€ and extremely delicious. They came with cheese, onions, parsley, Jalapeños, and a red sauce but I asked for them without it. Overall, amazing experience! Great, friendly service. P.S WiFi password is Merchant.

This is a nice, small restaurant in the Arenal Mercado where all of its food and desserts are completely vegan. I tried the vegan Chicken Caesar Salad and it was pretty good. My friends ordered a vegan burrito and vegan burger which also looked delicious. The price was also not too bad. The salad cost me seven euros.

Venta Bobito is a Café or bar which is right behind the bus stop to Valencina. The waiters there are so nice. I have become a regular and they memorized my order. Now they ask, "Como siempre," and once, I did not even have to order. They have both inside and outside seating. I always get the Café con leche y tostada de queso. Both pretty good. The only thing is that I feel like I never get enough cheese with my tostada, but that's possibly because I love cheese too much! Overall great service, food, atmosphere, and service.

The food at El rincón de Beirut was delicious and it had many options. I ordered the chicken shish tawouk and it came with a salad and French Fries. It cost approximately 12€. I also decided to get a glass of white wine which was 3.50€ and the brand was Arabe. My friend and I also ordered the labneh appetizer which was 5€. Overall, the food was delicious and filling. The service was great and our waiter was kind, funny, and always ready to accommodate us. The restaurant has both inside and outside seating areas. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely recommend. The location is great as well; only a 5 minute walk from the cathedral.

This restaurant is located approximately five minutes away from the Cathedral. It has delicious Middle Eastern food. So far, I have only tried the chicken shawarma, but it was pretty good. Also, the restaurant is decorated so beautifully with pictures from Beirut in the 1970s, Cairo, Jerusalem, and many others. The workers there are so kind and enthusiastic. I got to meet and talk to some of them and it was great to speak Arabic again! Also, the prices are not bad. I got the shawarma chicken sandwich for only 5€. I highly recommend and would go back! Also, the food is halal and they have plenty of vegetarian options such as tabbouleh, hummus, fatoush, etc.

My friends and I went to Alamar for lunch in Cadiz. It was delicious. We ordered an entire fish that was split among all of us,. It was approximately fifty euros so we split the bill. It also came with potatoes, bread, and vegetables. It was fresh from the ocean. Also, the service was so kind and welcoming. At the end, they gave us free shots to clear our palettes. I got the Bailey's sweet flavor one, but the other options were caramel vodka or Limoncello. Overall, delicious food, great service, and great prices for the quality.

De Tapas is one of my favorite places to go for tapas in Córdoba. In my opinion, it has the best batatas bravas in all of Spain!! I love this place because the waiters come around with different tapas and you choose which ones you want. They come on a wooden brick and at the end, they count how many wooden bricks you have and that is your total to pay. Each tapa is only one euro. Also, the beer is relatively cheap as well. It is a great atmosphere and a great place to try multiple different tapas at once.
