Absolutely loved this place! We love Spanish food and are often disappointed as it’s never like in Spain… But here, we really felt like in a local restaurant in Spain. Lovely atmosphere, super warm, dynamic and smiling service. All the tapas were delicious and the cocktails were tasty and generous. We surely will be back! ¡Muchisimas gracias!
