This place is a classic example of a well thought out rehabilitation of the historical centre, it sits in a picturesque square, the olive tree square. Before it was just a trash can dump for the local businesses, but to the surprise of the neighbourhood, a new space emerged.
It has a good selection of wines and the bar staff is more than willing to help you choose one. They also have the standard spirits and cocktails. In terms of beer, apart from the common Super Bock selection they have an artisanal beer called Letra which is worth a try. The sangria here is fresh and perfect for a hot afternoon, it is extremely easy to drink, so be cautious.
In terms of food, they serve several bread snacks and canned fish products. They are there to accompany your drinks so don’t expect a full meal. If you get hungry there are better and cheaper options close by.
This space is interesting, because you can sit inside in a spacious, slightly obnoxious, but comfortable smoke free environment as well as the outside space in which you can enjoy the sun. All-in-all it was set up in the right way and gave the community what it needed; A comfortable, affordable bar that maintains the originality of the historical centre. The only downside is the lack of affordable snacks and the improvised decoration, but these details can easily be altered. Definitely a good option for a post lunch/dinner drink.
