Authentic Spanish Food in the Town of Fuentes de Andalucia
The rural town of Fuentes de Andalucia, less than an hour's drive from the capital of Seville, is a pretty but less visited town in the area. As such, nearly 100% of bar and restaurant patrons here are local. A refreshing change from the tourist traps that inhabit the larger more popular destinations, you're guaranteed an authentic experience with a visit to just about any locale in
el pueblo. The Yum List takes a look at
Bar Manchego,
Restaurante el Montañes, and has a home cooked meal in the town too! Both restaurants are family run places radiating warm hospitality, down-to-earth tasty food, and wallet-friendly prices. Here's a photo journal of some of the iconic items we savoured:
