Reporting back!
Seville -
Tapas - El Traga, a bit fancy/modern, duck rice was delicious.
Tradevo Central was great, also slightly on the more upscale side but delicious food. Fun to sit outside, Seville is so lively at night! Amazing steak, they get great seafood as well and perfect simply cooks prawns.
Canabota - well, that was interesting. Highly recommended online, I think someone here called it a “temple of seafood”. Michelin star. My kids had a few different simply grilled and fried fish, and they said it was the best meal they had in Spain. My wife and I had the omakase tasting and it was the worst. Great quality fish but obscured by overly complicated preparations, unpleasant juxtaposition of temperatures, super heavy hand with bitter, briny, and fishy sauces… Some pulled it off, though you had to really like those flavors, and some fell totally flat. Even in the final course of simple grilled and fried fish, the grilled fish had an unpleasant bitter seaweed sauce on top. Not that I’m going back any time soon, but if anyone here goes, I highly recommend just ordering the various excellent fish and shellfish a la carte by weight and tell them to keep the preparation very simple.
Granada - lunch at our hotel (Hospes Palacio de los Patos) was delic
