Casa Lita, located in the heart of the neighborhood, Puerto Chico, has a huge variety of pinchos,…read morereasonably priced wines, and great view of the Paseo de Pereda. They have several wines and their prices written in chalk above the bar, which makes ordering a good Rioja or Ribera easy. Everyone orders at the bar. You can sit anywhere you like, including my favorite place, right in front of the window so that I can watch the people passing by.

Be prepared though for a possible soundtrack of lounge versions of other styles of songs (i.e. Enter Sandman etc.). If you dislike anchovies then there's little point in having food here as most things come with one or more.
