Casa de España

Tetouan


It looks like a living room, with a leather couch facing a fireplace, TV and football trophies, but in fact Casa de España is one of Tetouan's few bars. Plates of tapas come with every drink; if you're hungry, there's a grill restaurant in the adjoining room. Smoking is permitted, but the tall ceilings combat the smoke.
