The Sacramental Brotherhood of Tomares resumes its traditional nights of pavías every Friday and Saturday in July, until August 8. The event takes place in the Jardines del Conde and the proceeds go to social work.
The Sevillian municipality of Tomares welcomes summer with one of its most anticipated gastronomic events: the nights of pavías. The Sacramental Brotherhood has announced that this year they will once again fry their famous pavías of hake and cod every Friday and Saturday in July, and also the first weekend of August, until the 8th. The only exception will be on July 25, when the 51st Flamenco Festival 'Ciudad de Tomares' will take over the cultural scene.
The evenings will kick off at 21:00 in the Jardines del Conde of the Town Hall of Tomares, an outdoor setting that each year brings together locals and visitors. There, under the starlight, attendees can enjoy not only the classic pavías but also the so-called 'camisetas' of hake or cod, with a thinner layer of flour, and other homemade tapas such as potato salad, shredded meat, skewers, prawn montaditos, or the typical 'Veracruz' of steak, salmorejo, and ham.
A tradition passed down from mothers to daughters
The pavías of Tomares are not just any dish. Behind each bite is a unique recipe that the women of the Sacramental Brotherhood have passed down through generations. They are the ones responsible for preparing this delicacy that, over the years, has become a summer classic in Tomares. The recipe, closely guarded, achieves a crispy coating and a juicy interior that makes all the difference.
The Town Hall of Tomares highlights that these nights are a perfect plan to enjoy with family or friends, while also contributing to a good cause. All proceeds go to the social work of the brotherhood, which carries out actions to help people in vulnerable situations.
“It’s a great plan to enjoy the weekends while also contributing to a good cause,” municipal sources state.
A classic that transcends borders
What started as a small initiative by the brotherhood has become a must-attend event in the province's gastronomic calendar. Each year, hundreds of people come to Tomares to try these pavías, which have become an emblem of Sevillian summer. It is not uncommon to see queues in the Jardines del Conde, especially on Saturdays when attendance is higher.
For those who can’t wait, the brotherhood also offers other homemade dishes at popular prices. The 'camisetas', with less flour, are ideal for those who prefer a lighter bite, while the montaditos and skewers satisfy the meat lovers. All this in a festive and family-friendly atmosphere that invites repeat visits.
So, if you’re looking for a plan for the nights in July, Tomares awaits you with its pavías. A classic that, year after year, proves that tradition and good food are an unbeatable combination. And in the process, they help those in need.
