I loved this teeny tiny little cafe/bar/tapas place. They still do what you'd expect every bar in…read moreSpain to do: serve a small plate (tapas) with every drink. So your Euro doesn't only buy you a small beer or wine but also a small plate of chorizo, some cheese or fried potatoes. They have good coffee for a Euro (cortado) and some cocktails (the classics) too. Very friendly service and a modern, clean interior should have people queueing out the door.

Nice cafe located in the Plaza de Pombo, not far from the Bay. They had lots of outdoor seating as…read morewell as a large indoor dining area. I saw many people just having a drink or a coffee, but I came here for lunch. I decided to get their pork chops with fries. The food came out quickly and it was very good...the pork chop was thin and nicely grilled, the fries were not too crispy but not bad at all. The dish also came with an over easy egg and some nice chorizo pieces and red pimentos. It was a really nice mix of flavors and textures. They take credit cards.

A friend who lives in the city took me here today after we had a really big lunch. THe plan was to…read moreget a coffee but when I saw those cakes, especially that red velvet one, I just had to try it. Glad I did but wished afterwards that I hadn't. It was a really big piece and tasted like strawberry ice cream. In other words, it was delicious! The place seems to be a bakery at one end and at the other was fruit that seemed to be used to make smoothies. Lots of tables and booths but the place was crowded. There was a really nice feel to the place and with a damn fine cup of coffee and free wifi as well; it's a place worth returning to.

La Gallofa is a chain of bakeries/ pastry shops in Cantabria. From the locations I've been to, all…read morehave a very upscale look to them - this certainly isn't your little hole-in-the-wall panaderia or bakery. When I'm in "beach bum" mode, I typically like to buy a fresh loaf of bread from a bakery, buy some sliced charcuterie or embutidos and a little bit of cheese from a butcher shop, and make my own sandwich to take on the beach for lunch. I came to La Gallofa in search of a small baguette for my sandwich. I was impressed (and also very tempted) by the large selection of freshly baked bread, which included ciabatta, pan gallego, and whole wheat loaves, but managed not to give into temptation. There are also beautifully decorated pastries, as well as some classic hojaldres [1] and palmeritas (some dipped in chocolate!) pastries as well. Judging by the number of people purchasing hojaldres, I'd guess that these are what the bakery does best. If you don't have a sweet tooth (shame on you!), there are also empanadillas and quiche slices available. The bread was perfect for my sandwich with jamon serrano. I loved the light, airy consistency with uneven bubbles and crusty exterior. From location to location, La Gallofa excels in offering baked goods of consistent quality. [1] A popular, flaky pastry.
