Sandinista

BARCHICK SAYS

Take a walk up from the centre of town and hit this rocking Latino/tapas bar - it’s worth the trek and you should probably burn a few calories before their awesome food. Bring your hungry, hula flower-loving hippy friend, it ain't posh, the walls are a yellow ochre - in fact pick it up and plonk it in Mexico and it'd probably fit right in. Tiki masks and bank notes from around the world line the walls and you can up your world knowledge with the map of Mexico in the corner.

They have a mega deal of a beer and three tapas for a tenner. This is not the place to scrimp on the portions either, we scoffed our way through nachos (guacamole, cheese… the lot), cod croquetas and patatas bravas. Nothing beats a Sol Beer with a slice of lime, Mexico's answer to a Corona, but their cocktails are definitely worth some attention if you’re in that kinda mood. Go for a Frozen Daiquiri or get romantic and share a Zombie.

Forgot your lighter? Check out the green vending machine in the corner - Sandinista you know how us gringos roll.
