We have a La Tasca here in Reading (England). Every time I go I have a great time. Good food and fabulous atmosphere.

Thanks for the comment! I think you’re our first oversea’s visitor that’s dropped us a note. Delighted to have you! We’re planning for some nutty reviews in England this year to keep an eye here.

Awesome times…Here’s a tidbit you didn’t know about La Tasca: That night, the waiter took a WHILE to bring out the food. We all figured it was because there were so many people partying. Well, as it turns out there was a technical issue in the kitchen that delayed the food. SO… our awesome waiter brought us a free round of shots, and 3 or 4 free bottles of champagne! THEN…two weeks later we got (in the mail) a thank you and and an apology from the manager explaining the issues during New Years. Included in the card was a $25 gift check for La Tasca good for a year. WOW… Now that’s customer service if I ever saw it. Big thumbs up to La Tasca!

From my experience both in Spain and Spanish taverns outside I must say that night party at Spain cannot be compared to the one you can enjoy at these places. They are fun too, but lack the real spirit
So, get a flight and make a review on Spanish party. I asure you won’t be disappointed.

We can dream can’t? We can dream!
I wouldn’t bet against ya, that’s for sure. Cordoba, Seville, Madrid, Barcelona, sigh. So many places to party, so little time.
Thanks for the comments.

I live in Spain. It’s a constant party…go out for tapas at least 3 times a week. No stress. Customer service isn’t that great though! I’m in Galicia…no bulls or flamenco. Sorry.

Well, if Spain is like Italy, where stuff just closes at noon to 2pm or sometimes randomly at odd hours for no reason, it should be too much of a shock. It’s like they force ya to “relax”.
Tappas every day, wine at noon, I definitely think we’ll be visiting.

I just spent two weeks in the Canary Islands and one of the two restaurants at the hotel was called La Tasca. Nice food. Great waiters!

I’ve spent the last 13 years in the Canary Islands and you’re right, most stuff closes from 1 pm, so you are “forced” to go eat and drink at a leisurly pace. Not that I ever heard anyone complain! It would be hard to re-create or experience that aspect of the culture outside of the country.

It looks like the guy in the far right picture has his thumb in the blonde’s mouth.
