Confitería La Campana

El Centro & El Arenal


A landmark art deco patisserie and cafe, La Campana has been catering to Seville's sweet toothed since 1885. Join the mixed crowd in its elegant interior for a yema (soft, crumbly biscuit cake wrapped like a toffee), or a coffee and torta de aceite (flat, crumbly biscuit made with olive oil).

For a traditional breakfast, arrive early for a standing pew at the bar where waistcoated staff will slam down a coffee and pan con tomate (toasted roll with crushed tomato).
