warm rolls filled with freshly made tortilla (complimentary)

Very remiss not to have taken a pics of the restaurant (oops) so you get these lovely bagel-shaped buns instead. We were almost put off eating here by an initially rather cold greeting, but it had been recommended, so we decided to give it a try, and in the end we were glad we did.

The location, under Los Arcos (the arches) alongside the Paseo de la Constitución, was very pleasant on a summer evening, and our waitress (not the person who “greeted” us) was super friendly and helpful. As a result we sampled two complimentary tapas, a typical tortilla in a bun with amazing spicy olives on the side, and okay fried calamare. Then on the recommendation of the waitress we tried a plate of pork loin “de orza” (preserved in a herbed manteca) with fried egg and potatoes. Fabulous. Definitely the best thing we had to eat in our 24 hours in Baeza. Come here for this, even if you don’t have anything else.
