Narrow little street located in the latin quarter. Loads of little restaurants - mostly tapas but others too. Most only have a handful of tables , but the food is authentic spanish - this is definitely a must for all visitors to the city. More

There are many bars and restaurants along this street. People are friendly and the mojitos at more than one establishment were AMAZING! This street is a must go if you like to just hang out and do some people watching. More

Even residents of Madrid will tell you that their tapas are not as good as in Logrono or Barcelona. The restaurants here are more like, well, restaruants than the tapa bars in the other cities.
