Address
Calle Cava Baja, 34, 28005, Madrid, Spain
Get directions→Getting There
On Calle Cava Baja in the Palacio barrio of central Madrid, on La Latina's best-known tapas street.
Nearby
Palacio is the grand, historic western edge of the centre, wrapped around Palacio Real de Madrid and Plaza de Oriente. The eating runs from tavern cooking that has not changed in generations to small rooms doing something quieter and more modern. Teatro Real and Jardines de Sabatini set the pace, which is slower here.
