"No longer a secret, but that shouldn’t stop you from going. They do simple things like fried whitebait; eat it whole, head and all. Also a good place to try drinking from a porrón, a glass pitcher with a thin spout. You lift the porrón as far above your head as you dare and tip the contents into your open mouth. Pro tips include opening your mouth as wide as possible, opting for white wine, and wearing a busy top to hide any stains." - Suzy Taher
