La Posada del Duende — Our last visit was to La Posada del Duende. The name Posada del Duende, is derived from the streetname, but also from the duende (spirit) of the bullfighters, and above all the way of being a torero. According to the waiter, the spirit has died, but the theme related to […]

Sacacorchas — My start in Taberna Sacacorchos was not a good one. The two waitresses passed me several times without saying a word. With a Spanish couple that entered just after me, they reacted a lot quicker. Maybe they are not so much interested in attending foreigners. The funny thing is […]

Los Pensadores — The first Saturday of November we visited Taberna Los Pensadores, thanks to a tip from a friend. I usually do not go out in the Calle Alhamar zone, but I think I can make an exception for this bar. This afternoon, around 3 o’clock the bar was full. We were […]

La Botilleria — A couple of weeks ago I wanted to visit another bar, which was unfortunately closed for holidays. But as the son of the owner is co-owner of La Botilleria, I decided to go there instead and write this blog about them. This bar opened about five years ago. It wasn’t […]

La Tana — Last week I visited La Tana. A bar I have been before. A wine bar that in the evenings is always very busy. And I have to admit when I arrived around 13.30h, the bar was also quite packed. But the son of the owner was very willing to answer […]

Cafe Holandes — This bar I simply chose because of its name. As you might know.. I am Dutch. I just wanted to know what Café Holandes had to do with Holland, or better said The Netherlands. First of all, it looks nothing like a Dutch ‘Café’, more like a cafeteria/snack bar. I […]
