Bar La Ribera

León


Bar La Ribera is the kind of Spanish bar that doesn't look up to much, but has a loyal neighbourhood following for its raciones. They keep it simple – croquetas (croquettes), albóndigas (meatballs), calamares (calamari), morcilla (blood sausage), mejillones (mussels) and the like, but it's all very, very good.
