When people cancel their tours without notice, don’t finish their food, or feel too full, the food that is left gets thrown out. They minimize food waste: Much like big buffets at hotels, food tours can be large producers of waste. Food dollars spent at local restaurants stay in the local economy, creating more jobs at other local businesses. They take you to locally owned establishments: By working with locally owned eateries, tour companies are making sure money trickles down to the local level. In my opinion, the most responsible food tours do three things: A tour with them guarantees you’ll be eating at all the hidden gems and supporting the economy at the most local level. Luckily, Devour recognizes the importance that these places have in the community. The recipes passed down from one generation to another. The stories told in a hole-in-the-wall tavern. When small businesses are pushed out, part of the culture of a city is also lost. The world is changing, and part of that change is the appearance of chain restaurants in place of mom-and-pop establishments and iconic eateries. But the spirit behind the mission goes deeper than that. The entire mission of Devour Tours is to prevent visitors from eating at, what they call, “soulless tourist traps.” This is something all travelers have done at one time or another. The word “devour” means “to absorb or become fully engrossed in something.” And what a fitting name for the tapas tour in Seville that let’s you eat like a local in perhaps the most non-gentrified area of the city so that you can get absolutely enveloped in the rich culture that surrounds you. I’m basically plotting a way to get back to Spain just simply to eat more with them. I’m sure by the time you get to the end of this bad boy, you’ll be booking your own tour with Devour in no time. In this post, you’ll find all the details about what I ate, what you can expect on a tour, and what the mission of Devour Tours is.
When they offered to host me, there wasn’t a moment' of hesitation. Devour Seville’s “Tapas Like a Local Tour” ticked every box on my “tour must-have” list, and threw in local beers and wines. Enter food tours- group fun where you get to eat while simultaneously gathering all the best local tips and know-how and discovering the history and hidden gems of a city. Not usually being one for tours, over the last two years I’ve realized what an asset it can be to have a local guide show you where to eat, what to do, and the history of the destination I’m in. What’s the best way to try the best food from different places all in one go? A food tour! And, when looking at which food tour is community-minded and, ultimately, the best all-around, who better to help you out than me, your resident food tour enthusiast! Seville claims to be the tapas capital of the world! So, in a city like Seville where there is a tapas bar or tavern every few steps, you might be overwhelmed by the abundance of choice.
