If you’re looking for an authentic Spanish tapas bar in La Latina then this is your man. Stroll down Almendro Street and hit Taberna Almendro.

With heaps of character this place is covered in traditional Spanish wall tiles. Sit at one of the small barrel tables if you’re lucky, but if you’re here during busy peak hours you'll need to get your own drinks from the bar. Enjoy a glass of chilled glass of Manzanilla, which is a dry white variety of sherry and the most popular bev served here. These guys specialise in white wines so freestyle with your choices, you know they’ll do it right.

The staff here are friendly and attentive and although they don't speak much English they’ll totes makes an effort to understand you, phew. As in most Spanish places, you can be sure to get a snack with your drink - some olives or perhaps some Serrano ham. If you’re hungry for more, ask for 'roscas' which is basically an oversized stuffed bagel, bang-on.
