About La Casa del Abuelo
Established in 1906, this tiny standing-room bar near Sol specializes in gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns) and sweet red Valdepeñas wine. The cramped quarters and minimal menu keep the focus on perfectly cooked prawns served sizzling in terracotta dishes.
Insider Tips
Order the gambas a la plancha (grilled) instead of ajillo for a less oily preparation, and soak up the garlicky oil with bread.
