The typical area of tapas
El Tubois the emblematic zone in Zaragoza to have tapas, it consists of a complex of narrow streets between Alfonso I and Don Jaime I streets. You need a few days to try all the specialities.
But I recommend "La Cueva en Aragón", in Libertad Street number 16; also known as El Champiñón (The mushroom), because this is all it serves. We had them from the griddle, with a little oil, parsley and garlic; and three or four levels on a base of bread.
The next tapa could be in one of the oldest places, opened in 1870, “Bodegas Almau”, with a distinctive decoration on its façade, these days,portraits of celebrities. It has a great choice of wines from many areas. You can have them with any traditional tapa: small ham sandwiches, stuffed peppers, croquettes, cheese, ham or chorizo or some “banderillas”. It is in Estébanes Street 10.
