Experience
La Barra de Bendita Dining Experience
A lively market-counter bar inside the Mercat de Santa Catalina, where reviewers single out the buzzy atmosphere (the 'ambientazo'), the cañas and tapas, and friendly service. It runs to market hours, so it suits a mid-morning or lunchtime stop rather than a late dinner.
