Tucked away inside the gardens of the Palacio de los Patos hotel, Senzone is a fabulous oasis in the centre of the city, with various fountains cooling the patio area where you can either sit at tables to eat a meal or curl up on sofas to enjoy a drink. Large trees and hanging wisteria provide natural shade and all the greenery running along the wrought iron fence shuts out traffic and city noise. My favourite was the gnarly pomegranate tree, which I was told was over 200 years old. If you don’t know, the pomegranate (or “granada” in Spanish) is the emblem of the city.
The Senzone Restaurant offers tapas as well as a full-service menu, and an intriguing tasting menu made of Riofrio caviar products.
