FAQ
What is a Spanish bar, exactly?
Somewhere that serves coffee in the morning, beer in the evening and food at both, in the same room, to the same people. It is a neighbourhood institution rather than a drinking venue.
Where is the Plaza del Príncipe?
In the centre of Santa Cruz, a short walk from the main shopping streets and the Plaza de España. The city centre is compact enough to cover on foot.
Is there more than one branch?
The family runs a second site at Las Galletas on the southern coast. The Santa Cruz one is the city-centre address.
What is on the menu?
Crepes, pizza, filled rolls and ice cream alongside the drinks, which is the normal breadth for a Spanish bar and would look eccentric anywhere else.
Is it cheaper than the resorts?
Considerably. Santa Cruz prices for residents rather than for visitors, and the difference on a round of drinks and something to eat is substantial.
Is it open every day?
The business states daily opening, which for a city-centre bar with a resident customer base is the normal pattern rather than a seasonal one.
