We´ve said it once, we´ve said it a hundred times: in the Old Quarter there is gastronomy outside of Fermín Calbetón or 31st of August Street. Regarding that, Aldamar Street, in the district´s border, flexes its muscles thanks to a few but awesome bars that have nothing to envy to those located in other more […]
