50 tapas of traditional cuisine in a bullfighting museum type setting. It has been around for almost a hundred years. Worthwhile sitting down having a beer and trying some tapas you have not had before.

Casa Alfonso,

A restaurant and a shop that sells cured meats. I would treat myself to come here if I would like to try some of the best cured ham and other cured meats with pan con tomate( bread with tomato rubbed on it, sprinkled with olive oil). The rations are a bit small but worthwhile. Remember, go for the cured meats: jamón, fuet, chorizo, lomo, ect.
Closed on Sundays.
