TASTY, reasonably priced and imbued with a cheery atmosphere, this is the sort of place where people go for an authentic slice of Spain.

Flamenco sounds burst from the speakers and gingham tablecloths splash colour through the cosy den, while the squeezed together tables encourage a relaxed mood.

Everything is superb value and the service is fast and friendly.

Food is ordered in the traditional way – two or three dishes to start with, then more as and when you fancy it.

There’s a lot to choose from, with dishes divided into vegetarian, fish and meat sections. Favourites include garbanzos en espinacas (chickpeas cooked with creamy spinach leaves, £3.40) and conejo al ajillo (rabbit cooked in garlic, wine and chilli, £4.85).
