The cuisine of El Viso del Alcor is a delightful reflection of Andalusian gastronomy, known for its use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Olive oil, locally produced, is a staple in many dishes. Traditional dishes include “salmorejo,” a cold tomato soup similar to gazpacho, “flamenquín,” a fried roll of pork and ham, and “tapas,” small plates of various foods such as tortilla española and croquetas.
The town’s proximity to Seville also means that seafood is popular, with dishes like fried fish (pescaito frito) being a local favorite. For dessert, locals enjoy “torrijas,” a type of bread pudding that is especially popular during Holy Week. Visitors will find a variety of restaurants and tapas bars offering both traditional Andalusian food and modern interpretations of classic dishes.
Food festivals, such as the annual Feria, provide excellent opportunities to sample local specialties while enjoying the festive atmosphere.
