Hostería del Laurel

This hidden treasure is tucked in one of the most charming buildings on tiny, difficult-to-find Plaza de los Venerables in Barrio de Santa Cruz. When the 19th-century playwright José Zorilla rewrote Tirso de Molina's original Don Juan, he used the Hostería de Luarel as one of the settings for his rewrite. It has iron-barred windows stuffed with plants. Inside, amid Andalusian tiles, beamed ceilings, and more plants, you'll enjoy good regional cooking. The hostería has some of the best and freshest tapas in town, our favorite being a zarzuelita de mariscos (shellfish cocktail) appetizer. The catch of the day is flown in, and fish can be either grilled or fried. The chefs also turn out one of the town's best seafood-studded paellas.
