Good to see you again El GANSO..Every dish was amazing. Especially the croquetas, courgette flower, lamb, Patatas bravas and churros. The wine was great, they had a really good selection with descriptions on the menu. The staff were all lovely and attentive.I’d recommend booking as they did turn people away when we were there as they were fully booked.Always nice.. Gracias amigos..
