Bar Santos
A tiny bar next to the Mosque-Cathedral, famous for its giant potato omelets weighing around ten kilograms, with slices costing just a few euros.
Located at the northeastern corner of the Mosque-Cathedral, this tiny spot has been open for over half a century. Its signature is a giant Spanish tortilla (potato omelet) weighing about 10 kg, made with several kilograms of potatoes and dozens of eggs, taking about an hour to cook. A slice is about €2.90, other tapas are €3–5, and the average spend is €8–15 per person. The interior is extremely small with only bar service and no tables, and reservations are not accepted. Many patrons eat standing outside against the walls of the Mosque-Cathedral with paper plates. Some sources note it is cash-only, so it is recommended to bring change and arrive before 13:30.
Opening hours
Daily approx. 10:00–00:00, Fri–Sat until 01:00 (according to Apple Maps, etc.; opens around 11:00 on weekends)
