The COVID-19 pandemic
Unfortunately the 2020 brought COVID-19 and everything stopped, included hospitality. After a long peiord being closed we then had to adapt to the new circumstances and started to offer takeaway and put in place a set of measures to ensure our customers continued to enjoy the best Spanish food in town while feeling safe
Working hard for our customers
In order to make our customers feel safe as hospitality reopened, we added more outdoor sitting and installed some gazebos
