Champañeria Can Paixano

This famous little Champañeria, tucked away in the city’s old sailors’ quarter, boasts an extensive selection of authentic, local cuisine served up with its very own Cava. Notorious for its frenzied atmosphere, the traditional tavern-style tapas bar attracts a good mix of local residents and inner city visitors during its often chaotic lunch and evening hours.An impressive array of meats and cheese greet you as you barge your way in and up to the bar. From there you can order from a wide but simple range of bites which will be with you, accompanied by a glass of bubbly, in a matter of minutes. The frantic and sometimes fiery display from the other side of the bar adds to the mood of a Tapas bar with genuine local charm.
