What do the bars have that we like so much? No matter where and at what time, you always fancy a bar, with its beer and its lid. And more if it is in Andalusia . That's what he thought Sevillian illustrator, Michael Ferrera , when he decided to make a Tabernario, a calendar with the mythical bars of ** Seville **. Because, as he says, inside him life passes between lupins, hazelnuts and beer.

“I was looking for an idea to make a Seville calendar and a friend had the idea to do illustrations of the most authentic bars . And he loved me. I got down to work and, as it was a personal project, it took me several years”, illustrator Miguel Ferrera tells Traveler.es.

The Tavern was born as a calendar for the most traditional of Seville , but what better idea than to go on the road and meet them all at the hands of Miguel. Behold, a wonderful top 10 that overflows tradition and color.
