4. Tradition at  COCINA HERMANOS TORRES.

This restaurant is renowned for the authenticity of its dishes, which always remain true to the essence of their ingredients.  Traditional favourites such as paella, fideua and meat dishes are lifted to exceptional levels by the addition of subtle details in their preparation rather than their reinvention. Enjoy a drink in the exquisite wine cellar before sitting down for your meal.
