Tasca Siete Viejas
A lovely tapas bar. The food is incredible, the waiter so lovely and helpful. The chicken salad, the asparagus with truffle and Parmesan, the grilled cheese and the potatoes are amazing. The staff is very kind and the bar has a lot of character with historic value. The most charming place in Vegueta.
