Apr 19, 2026"Here is a proper old school cafeteria bar. The paella ciega was really good. Th Tarte de queso and la abuela were fabulous. Fantastic location, next to the town hall square. Lots of locals which shows it's authenticity. Marble top tables, wooden chairs and a great bar to stand at. The waiters are authentic Spanish. They might not speak much English but they are really nice and will try their best."

Open all day when many restaurants are closed 5-8, although quiet at that time. But good place to stop if you need a meal after a long days touring and can't wait until later!"

You know it will be good, authentic Spanish cuisine when it's full of locals. Well prepared, fresh, local produce at a very reasonable price. Helpful, welcoming staff. Loved it!"
