Each bar is unique so get ready to see a variety from the oldest in the district (105 years) to my secret modern bar that is so hidden that I know you have never been there before! Arrive hungry, we will have at least 8 Tapas, including many classics like: Spanish Omelet, Croquettes, Patatas Bravas, cheese, vegetarian options, & also some surprises that I promise that you never tried before.
