Where to Find Organic Produce & Goods in Seville
While some of the larger cities in Spain have long been boasting a healthy share of organic produce, Seville seems to be a little slower in getting there – but it’s getting there.
The weather in Seville and greater Andalusia make going organic easier but change is hard so this area remains better known for being the producers of all things Europeans crave at times of year they shouldn’t. The field of plastic-covered hot houses in Andalusia can be heart-breaking to behold for anyone sensitive to the idea that you are what you eat and eating with the seasons is important. Still, a small wave is starting to take over and I believe that in time, it will be a Tsunami. Okay, I may be a little optimistic, but a girl can dream, no?
Having gotten used to sourcing organic vendors and shops while we were back in Uzès, where enjoying the spoils of the market was so easy, I made it my mission to make a list for myself of where I could find organic food in Seville.
I thought I’d start sharing that list with you so when you too come to visit or live in Seville, you’ll know where to look.
1. Biotienda
This bio shop has something for all of your bio needs!
C. Gonzalo Bilbao, 29, Local 2b, 41003 Sevilla, Spain
C. Santiago, 1, 41003 Sevilla, Spain
Fresh fruits and vegetables but mostly dry goods.
Calle Regina, 21, 41003 Sevilla, Spain
4. Gaia
Gaia has been around for quite some time now. Pioneers of the organic. movement in the city.
Calle Luis de Vargas, 6, 41001 Sevilla
This is THE shop to head to for vegans in Sevilla!
Calle San Luis, 46, Seville, Spain
6. Alhacena
For your bio tea and pasta needs.
C. Relator, 50, 41003 Sevilla, Spain
7. Mercado del Arenal
Please be sure to see my friend Fernando of Verde Limon – he has a nice selection of organic produce from throughout the region. Be aware though that some of the bulk of his produce doesn’t get to him until after 11 am!
Calle Pastor y Landero, 4, 41001 Sevilla, Spain
8. Las Comadres
For ecological and artisanal produce.
Calle León XIII, 61, 41009 Sevilla, Spain
9.La Ortiga, Cooperativa de Consumo Ecológico
You can shop freely but if you want to benefit from the reduced prices, you need to sign up for the coop membership which they will give back to you (assuming I understood properly), at the end. This is more logical for longer visits.
C. Goles, 56, 41002 Sevilla
10.Organic market
Once a month, second Saturday, taking place on the Plaza de la Alameda. You have to be patient or come early as the vendors serve one customer at a time rather than allowing you to bruise their wonderful goods.
11. Jarillo Lata Féria
Zero-waste shop is a place where you can pick up your laundry soap and containers without worrying too much about the negative impact of plastic consumption. They moved earlier in 2022 to a larger location and have added to their inventory. Come with your jars and containers or grab some of the small ones they have at the entrance.
Calle Feria, 162, 41002 Sevilla, Spain
12. Piel de Mariposa
A second-hand store that is also a charity shop for the disease called “piel de mariposa”
Calle Feria, 145, 41002 Sevilla, Spain
13. Humana
For second-hand clothing
Av. de Menéndez Pelayo, 52, 41003 Sevilla, Spain
14. Bien y Bio
An organic cosmetics store.
Calle Regina, 18, 41003 Sevilla, Spain
15. Organic Wine
Our friend Oscar, a former Sevilla FC football player decided to jump into wine but not just any wine, organic wine. He is a certified wine specialist and after opening his first shop in Calle Feria has now opened a second location in Calle Baños. Both offer in-house tasting and tapas so pass by for great advice and fabulous Spanish wine. De Sur a Norte:
