Bodeguita Romero

Bodeguita Romero is more than 70 years old. First opened by Don Antonio Romero Hijón in 1939 in the old Encarnación Market, it is now run by his son Pedro Romero in Calle Harinas. Don Antonio’s little bar grew and prospered, and after the war he opened another in Calle Imagen that he called “La Española”.In 1949 Bodeguita Romero was established in Calle General Polavieja, where it achieved great popularity over nearly three decades, becoming a “must-stop” for young students and old folk who drank sherry and ate peanuts in its homely and traditional atmosphere.In 1977, it moved to its present home in Calle Harinas in the Arenal neighbourhood, where it has maintained its popularity thanks to the hard work and dedication of Pedro Romero and his wife Angeles.
