Desde que cambió la dirección el sitio es distinto. Ahora es una cervecería y da mucho gusto ir. Los trabajadores son muy atentos y educados. De los pocos sitios en alicante que encuentro tapitas.

Il locale è decisamente rustico, nella tenda all'aperto ci sono persone che fumano, però le tapas sono molto buone, con porzioni abbondanti e la cameriera gentile. Se cercate le vere tapas qui le trovate!
