“ What a beautiful place to sit and share a meal. We shared several tapas - tortilla, croquettes a d meatballs with rice were delicious. We did have Iberian mercillo pork which wasn't quite to our taste (would have preferred with crusty bread rather than crackers - the meat plentiful but a little greasy) We also enjoyed excellent local beer and a 50cl of red wine. Very friendly service. ”
