At locally popular old-town wine and tapas bar Korxo, tables huddle under streetside umbrellas and there's no wine list. The on-the-ball all-female team will just dig you out something tasty from the impressive Spanish wines collection featuring Catalan DO favourites like Penedès and Montsant. Tempting down-to-earth tapas include hummus, burrata salad, baked Camembert and Iberian ham.
