Pork Rinds (Chicharrones)
These pork rinds are unique. You can already smell them in the plaza, and as soon as you step inside Bar José, he greets you with a smile. You don't even need to ask; he's already got your tapa of pork rinds ready to serve. Their seasoning is almost addictive, something I've never tasted before in Seville. They're like salty candy. Even the children come to see how many pork rinds they can get with the pocket change they have. It's a traditional bar, the kind where you have a beer and a tapa while your child plays in the plaza. It's perfect for summer, for Sunday, even for Wednesday, because going to Bar Talo for pork rinds is always a good idea, no matter the season.
