The perfect corner to watch the world go by, everyone knows the Bar Bosch. Don't expect the waiters to be over-friendly but enjoy a good coffee or glass of beer, sit back, relax and people-watch!

Indian restaurant with exquisitely authentic dishes. Highly recommend. Spanish people don't go for spicy food so if you are eg. British and want a hot curry, ask for them to make it extremely hot!
