Unpretentious neighborhood bar near the cathedral where the daily specials are scrawled on a chalkboard and the regulars are greeted by name. The tapas are traditional and well-executed—croquetas, albóndigas, tortilla española—and the portions are generous enough to make you reconsider dinner. It's not going to change your life, but it's a solid fallback when the trendy spots are full and you just want something genuinely good and real.
