ANDALUSIA - CÁDIZ - VENTORRILLO DEL CHATO
RESTAURANTE VENTORRILLO DEL CHATO This Restaurant is a beautiful historic Goya-esque 18th-century roadhouse, situated near the beach dunes, an oasis in the heart of a desert strip. Jose Manuel Cordoba makes magic with fish here. We come here for the Tortillitas de Camarones (shrimp fritters). The ones here are larger but also incredibly crispy, with more batter edges and significantly more shrimp than any others we had. They are great with a cold fino sherry. Other excellen


DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN - PARTE VIEJA - BAR KBZÓN TXIKI

Pulpo gallego con puré de boniato, salsa de tomates verdes y cebola morada encurtida con cilantro. Tender Galician oc
