The Garlochí of Seville
If you walk through the streets of Seville, you will reach what is known as Boteros Street, a beautiful and simple street that offers shelter and home to one of the most beautiful and beloved bars in Spain, Garlochí. This bar opened its doors in 1978 from the hand of its current owner, Miguel, who from the day it opened until today, has not stopped working tirelessly to create the wonder that is Garlochí.

As you pass the two steps that separate the street from the interior, you will discover a place you will never want to leave.

The virgins and saints, the red velvet shawls, the gold embroidery and even the candles and incense are some of the main elements of Garlochí.
Miguel, creator and owner of the bar, has been in charge of carefully creating this peculiar decoration for years. He assures that the busts, statues and religious images have no direct relationship with the Easter weekis rather a representation of baroque art in Seville.
