Sevilla en Boca de Todos (Tapas Competition) - 3


We just enjoyed a wonderful tapas crawl on Saturday.  We started at Yerbabuena, located in the market of the street Feria.  “Tierra y mar” is the name given to a combination of offerings, appropriately, of the earth and the ocean.  Those who see the rustic tapa smile; it consists of a top-quality tomato with salt, a salted fillet of anchovy and a salt-cured slice of tuna, accompanied by a couple of almonds.  How curious it is that it is traditional to accompany “huevas de mújol” with almonds; the reason is that the nuts facilitated chewing.  At Al-Aljibe in la Alameda, a tapa was a combination of the best flavors.  It was an intense explosion, very delicious.  And to conclude at La Alameda, a big traditional café, Bobo offered us domed fillet of beef.  I had to eat it slowly to extract all of the flavors.  Visually this plate appeared to us very striking—more than other tapas we consumed.  Would like to hear what you think as well.
