🌧️ Meson El Capote has inside space so it’s a good place for tapas when it’s raining.

Editors Comment

El Capote is well worth a visit. Situated by the ancient castle it’s just a few steps from the main tourist area around Plaza de las Flores but is much more peaceful.

This place is popular with locals and the authentic Spanish tapas selection is tasty and not expensive.

If you’re looking for something a bit different be sure to try the Taco made from a Tortillita de Gambas – it’s a bit greasy but delicious!

A great place to enjoy traditional Spanish tapas

Great food, cute place, quiet location.

To be honest, I was very drunk, but from what I recall… it’s well worth a visit.

Do not recommend, husband got food poisoning from here the day before our flight back and was violently ill. All items were frozen and barely reheated. Don’t go here
