Cervantes, Salamanca

Famous for their sangria, which is prepared with local wines and fruit juice, and usually ordered to accompany the variety of pinchos on hand, everything from stuffed omelettes, mussels, pincho morunos (pork kebab), meat pies and patatas bravas (fried potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce) to Iberian cold meats, such as ham and cured pork loin. Located right in Plaza Mayor, through its windows you can see the beautiful monuments in the area. Its solid wood tables, the music they play and the food they serve attract both young and old. You can have a drink and a pincho for EUR 1.35. If you order sangria instead, it costs EUR 2.10. If you prefer to have some raciones (larger-sized portions) or a three-course meal, expect to pay around EUR 15.
