La Venencia Tapas
Wood casks & dusty bottles in a tavern from the 1930s, serving 5 types of sherry with rustic tapas.
Time grinds to a meditative standstill in this dimmed, tobacco-stained cavern, where the only tipple is dry sherry from a barrel (from €1.70 a glass) and the only tapas are sliced-to-order cured meats, fish and cheese (try the mojama – salt-cured tuna: a mouthful of ocean for €2.30). By day, sherry-soaked locals ruminate over copitas of Amontillado, but at night it regularly ignites into a raucous knees-up (cheap and stronger than wine, sherry creeps up on the unwary). Be on notice that the proprietors run a strict ship: photography is forbidden, as is tipping, and please don’t bother Lola, the slightly senile black cat curled up down the back.
