"If you’re not too familiar with Ultramarino bars (like us) I recommend you start here: let the server guide you in what to eat and drink. Don’t worry: the food and beverages are not expensive. We had a glass of sherry, a glass of wine, a large serving of delicious local hard cheese, olives, and bread for €11."

"I've had some wonderful food during my visit to Cadiz but the Tapas here was exceptional. The service was outstanding with the staff very friendly and helpful. A nice atmosphere inside and out and the food and drink was excellent value for money. They have a separate English menu which is very helpful and in all, I wouldn't hesitate to return.
First class."

Before we headed on holiday, this was somewhere that we knew we wanted to visit when we were there. If you’ve checked out my post about Jerez_ then you’ll remember me mentioning my love of Rick Stein and his Long Weekends series. In preparation for the holiday, I watched the episode in Cádiz and noted down a few places I wanted to visit.
