Travellers investigating Seville's eighteenth century bullring may need a snack and a drink after all the bovine-baiting shenanigans. And whether you're chuffed or huffed by what you've just seen, Meson de la Infanta will be one of your best bets in the area post bloodbath. Unwinding over a glass of vino tinto you can ponder whether the clash was an exhilarating insight into an ancient Spanish tradition, or a brash, cruel-hearted anachronism - interesting food for thought as you tuck into tasty tapas such as Rabo de Toro (Bull's Tale). We were welcomed by an iconic barman in white dinner jacket and bow-tie. And for once, here was a place where no one spoke English, proving that there still are some authentic spots in Europe's great cities. How long things remains thus is anyone's guess. But for now, the Meson endures as a classic taste of old Seville.
