One of my favourites that would definitely be in my Top Ten list, if I ever made such a list. This second location of the very popular Las Golondrinas opened in 2007, just around the corner from the original Triana bar, started by Paco Arcas. These days sons Paco and Carlos take care of both bars.
This location has a more modern look to it and is also a bit bigger, with an upstairs mezzanine dining area serving raciones. There is also a section of tables downstairs for tapas, as well as a small sidewalk terrace, but for me the best location is sitting or standing at the bar. I love the bustle and the service is fast and friendly.
The food here is just as fabulous as at the original Golondrinas, possibly better. It’s simple, traditional fare and excellent value. Favourites include grilled chipirones (small squid), the grilled mushrooms with parsley alioli, and the simply sensational grilled punta de solomillo (Iberian pork sirloin). And yes, you really must try the radishes.

I want some squid!
what do the ‘best’ radishes taste like? are they hotter than usual or are they mild ones? I think I prefer just a little bite, more of a surprise tang.
THAT food LOOKS FANTASTIC!!
What camera are you using? Are you using manual or automatic settings?
The radishes are both mild and hot, nursemyra, so they keep you guessing. Just dressed with high quality olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt – simply delicious.
Just a cheap point & shoot Casio, cj.
