Bar Gonrojas

  • January 9, 2003
  • Rated 3 of 5 by billmoy from Chicago, Illinois
This small and charmingly nondescript bar is typical of the local establishments found all over Spain. You can get some reheated tapas and a drink served quickly and conveniently, or you can linger here with a newspaper.

The bar is located very close to the Prado de San Sebastian bus station and not far from the Jardins de Murillo. There are stools along the bar as well as small tables at the back. If you want a quick bite while you are waiting for a long-distance bus, this is not a bad place to stop in. The streets around here seem to be filled with cars, as fellows with parking cards guide drivers in and out of tiny spaces, so hopefully that is not your mode of transportation here.

The proprietor of the bar did not speak English, but as long as you know a few of the standard tapas choices, you can verbally rattle off a few and eventually you will have a snack or light meal. I tend to lean towards hot rather than cold tapas. I ordered a ham sandwich and a torta espanola, two very typical tapas selections. The sandwich was very simple, with a thin slice of ham on a toasted roll, but it was tasty. The torta espanola is basically a wedge of potato pie, but with a bit of egg and cheese in the mix. It can also be considered a slice of quiche or a large and firm omelet, but this piece had more potato than egg in it. A small section of crusty French bread comes along with the torta espanola, as well as most tapas.

The tapas are not dirt cheap, but they will not set you back too many Euro either. Come in and greet the proprietor and his precocious young boy.
