Description:
On one of the traditional tasca streets in Old Madrid, this tavern has a distinct personality. It is dedicated to the art of serving Spain's finest sherry -- and that's it. Don't come in here asking for an extra dry martini. My favorite remains Manzanilla, a delicate fino with just a little chill on it. If Luis Buñuel were to need extras in a film, surely the patrons here would be ideal. To go with all that sherry, the genially informal waiters serve tapas of garlicky marinated olives, jamon serrano (mountain ham), mojama (cured tuna) or blue-cheese canapés. Ancient barrels form the decor, along with antique posters long turned tobacco-gold from cigarette smoke. Open daily from 7pm to 1:30am.
