Breakfast in Spain is typically a small, hurried affair. A quick coffee, drunk at the bar, with a piece of toast or a croissant is likely all it will be, as the Spanish like to keep space for a large lunch instead.
Some of my favorite options for breakfast in Seville can be found below.

Close to the cathedral, this traditional Spanish bar (with a nice little courtyard out back, a rarity in Seville) doesn't advertise its breakfast options, but ask and you will get. Cheap.
Breakfast Options As there is no menu, ask for 'tostada' (toast) with 'tomate' (tomato), 'queso' (cheese), 'jamon' (ham) or 'sobresada' (a kind of chorizo pate).
4. Bar el Comercio
A traditional little place in the shopping district.Breakfast Options Various options, but the one they boast about most is their chocolate con churros.
Address C/Lineros, Seville
5. Viriato Gastrobar
A nice view of the San Juan de la Palma church and some bigger breakfast options at the weekend.
Breakfast Options 'Brunch' at weekends is actually a type of English/Irish/fried breakfast.
