Sanlúcar

La Latina & Lavapiés


The seafood-dominated cooking of the Andalucian province of Cádiz is what this place is all about, with every imaginable sea creature (usually lightly fried) sharing the menu with gazpacho served in a tall drinking glass. It's quiet at lunchtime (except on Sunday) but it can be hard to find a place in the evenings.
