A Great Tapas Team

It truly is amazing how much 5 girls can eat and drink here with 50 euro. We really made the most of our money and filled our stomachs with delicious food last night. We managed to eat at 4 different bars and get ice cream! Our favorite place was De Vinos. We all had some kind of meat sandwich with cheese and everyone was satisfied. Also, we all agreed that De Vinos had the best drinks- both their sangria and white wine was fabulous. Most of us had chicken, which was a pleasant change after so much ham. The fact that we had chicken instead of ham could have been one reasons why we enjoyed this bar so much. Additionally, the bar had a hip and clean atmosphere that we all appreciated!

A tie for the best tapa was a meat and cheese dish that we tried at Café Solo. When I asked what it was, she said it was la saña, with a pause between the la and the saña, so I didn't realize she was talking about the very familiar dish that we call lasagna. Later, when I asked my señora about saña, she told me she had never heard of that and she was pretty sure I meant lasaña, which I did. This makes total sense now, especially because the first thing out of Emily's mouth was "This is great. It's like lasagna!". So, our favorite dishes turned out to be chicken and lasagna, which, are not very Spanish but they still tasted amazing!

The lasagna at Café Solo was great, but we were not fans of the calamari there. The calamari was hard and cold and pretty bland, so we would definitely recommend trying calamari elsewhere. As for the worst drink, we did not like the tinto de verano at Café Bar Sprint- it was bland and tasteless, so before you get a tinto there, try walking over to De Vinos first!
