I asked for a restaurant which serves traditional local dishes and she said she quite likes this one, so went along and was pleased.

Read moreThis place ticks all the boxes: it has a charming interior, and shaded tables outside; the staff are helpful and friendly - they roped in another patron to translate when my Spanish wasn't up to it; there are locals passing in and out; it's extremely affordable; and the food is absolutely fantastic. We had the best morcillo I've ever had and the solomillo was 🔥
