Simply put, one of the worst venues I have every had the misfortune to visit.||||A group of us needed a space to discuss business. Because it was hot we pre-booked a table for 9 at the cavernous Convento bar, renowned for its air conditioning. ||||Prior to arrival we were assured the space would be quiet. The reason for this became obvious. No one else goes there... with good reason. ||||Even though no one was watching the TV it was blaring. I politely asked if they could turn down the volume. One waitress obliged. But the barman put it back up again. I asked again. The barman turned it up louder. ||||Then, unbelievably, he put a channel showing deaths in BULLFIGHTS. Our group was shocked. The barman then found (how do these things exist?) a channel showing tied up COWS BEING EXECTURED WITH A SHOTGUN. You can't make this up. ||||This we engineered to make us unwelcome. The jobsworth bar staff are on a salary and get no tips. They do not want tourists or expat customers annoying them with things like food orders (no waiter/waitress ever came to our table). We went to bar for our drinks and, as expected. the service was dreadful ||||A VILE EXPERIENCE.
