La Cava Aragonesa

Benidorm's best-known tapas bar, opened in 1980 at the start of Tapas Alley, holding a Repsol Solete.

Located at 2 Plaza de la Constitución in the old town, at the start of Calle Santo Domingo, known to British visitors as Tapas Alley. It was opened in 1980 by Francisco del Castillo from Zaragoza, who started out serving a glass of cava with a snack. The Repsol Guide awards it a Solete. The counter's glass cabinets are filled with pintxos, so you can simply point at what you want. The signature is yescas, tomato bread topped with various hams, marinated fish or cheese. A second branch sits across the street. It is liveliest at lunchtime from 1:30 to 3:00 pm and after 8:30 pm, and the three-course set menu costs about €14.
