Top choice in La Latina & Lavapiés


This pintxos (Basque tapas) bar is a great little discovery just down from the main La Latina tapas circuit. Wonderful wines, gorgeous pinchos (the tortilla de patatas – potato and onion omelette – is superb) and fine risottos add up to a pretty special combination.
