A chicken sanjacobo with Iberian ham and cured cheese that weighs more than a kilo and costs 15.90 euros. That is the star of El Caminante Andaluz, a bar located at 8 José Díaz Street, right in the heart of the Macarena in Seville, which has gained a legion of followers for its XXL dishes at prices that seem from another era.
The establishment, which describes itself as "welcoming and with homemade cooking," also offers a giant Cordoban flamenquín for 9 euros and large portions starting from 8 euros. Among these, the provolone cheese with oregano, Iberian sirloin, marinated dogfish, or Iberian presa stand out. All of these can be ordered in giant portion, half portion from 6.80 euros, or tapa from 2.80 euros.
A menu designed for sharing (or not)
The menu at El Caminante Andaluz is not limited to large formats.

These are joined by fried brie cheese, prawn trumpets, bull tail or salmon and cabrales cheese croquettes, as well as breaded chicken strips with barbecue sauce and honey.
For meat and fish lovers, the venue offers Caminante-style mushrooms, goat cheese with honey, aubergine and zucchini pie, grilled salmon, tuna belly, marinated dogfish, cod fritters, grilled chorizo, Iberian sirloin, and Iberian presa.

Prices from the past in times of inflation
In a context where eating out has become significantly more expensive, El Caminante Andaluz maintains a pricing policy that surprises. "It's a real madness," comment its customers on social media upon seeing the size of the dishes. Indeed, for less than 10 euros, one can feast on portions that could easily serve two people. The secret, according to the venue itself, lies in homemade cooking and quality products without great fuss.
The bar opens from Tuesday to Saturday from 12:30 to 16:00 and from 20:30 to 23:30. It is closed on Mondays and Sundays. It is located at 8 José Díaz Street, in the heart of Macarena, an area with a great tradition of long-standing bars. For the residents of Seville and the province, it is a perfect option for a hearty meal without breaking the bank. And for those who dare, the challenge is set: to face the sanjacobo weighing a kilo and a half (yes, the actual weight can even exceed the advertised kilo) and come out victorious.
