Las Golondrinas
At lunchtime, this Triana favorite is a spectacle of tapas consumption that is both impressive and a little daunting. You may or may not get a table, but you can order food at the bar or even a couple of rows back. There is a menu, but it’s best to keep things simple and order what almost everyone is having: chipirones (baby squid), champiñones (stuffed garlic mushrooms), or puntos de solomillo (grilled pork loin). Given the task at hand, service can be abrupt, but once you’ve got your order in, the dishes will be sashayed to you in an instant. After an exhausting hour or so the crowds disappear, and all is calm until the evening. Las Golondrinas has two establishments just around the corner from each other. If one is too full, try the other.
