Bar Ávila
Bar Ávila Tapas
An affordable, historic tapas bar in the Realejo district that opened in 1967, famous for its roasted ham and allowing you to choose your own free tapa with each drink.
Opened in 1967 and located at 16 Calle Verónica de la Virgen in the Realejo district, this is a tapas bar frequented by locals. The signature dish is the roasted ham, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but they also serve pig's trotters, fried squid, fried sausage, croquettes, and marinated anchovies. Each drink comes with a free tapa of your choice, offering great value for money. The bar is constantly packed; if you arrive at 20:30, you might only find standing room, so arriving right at opening is recommended. Some reviews mention that the bar was renovated and changed management in recent years, leading to mixed reviews on its current quality. Its sister branch, Ávila II, is located just a few dozen meters away on Calle San Isidro. It is within walking distance of the city center.
Opening hours
Monday to Saturday 12:00-17:00, 20:00-00:00, closed on Sundays (hours may vary slightly across platforms)
