Great place, on the corner by the roundabout, to sit outside and enjoy an evening drink before dinner. Staff friendly and helpful.

El local des de fora tenia bona pinta, no teniem ganes de sopar res massa elaborat i ens va semblar un bon lloc. Com a la majoria de locals del sud i de Baeza, amb la beguda et posen una tapa, en aquest cas ens van posar un ochio (que es un bollito de pa amb pebre vermell tipic de la zona) amb la primera ronda. Com que no teniem massa gana varem demanar una taula d'embotits, molt completa amb bons iberics i bona quantitat, bona relacio de preu. Amb la segona ronda de beguda, segona tapa gratis, un mini wrap. Les cambreres molt agradables, tot un encert.

Everything we ate was delicious. Hearty toasts. Kind staff but slow service and sometimes you have to stand in order to catch their attention.
