We stood at the bar and stuffed ourselves with various cured meats and marinated fish tapas. Crowded and in a major tourist area, but still well worth a visit for lunch or a snack.
Fantastic paella. It's a white table-cloth type of fancy place with nice outdoor seating. If you're used to eating out in a major metropolitan area, the prices will probably not seem overly expensive.
Serviceable little French cafe. We stopped in here after a long overnight flight for a coffee and eggs Benedict, which were both very good.
A bit of a dive. Locals, Australians, Americans, boys with tight pants, girls with dogs, the occasion suit-wearing businessman, beers, sangria, mojitos.
Great bread shop. We grabbed a baguette and some meat and cheese from around the corner for a nice afternoon snack.
