Spain
January 23, 2009
If you're looking to revisit your vaction on the Spanish coast, or if you just want a taste of it, don't start looking for your passport, just head to Downtown Tampa. The Castro family established the Spain Restaurant there in 1980. What started as a small mom-and-pop operation has grown into a full-blown urban hotspot that's packed with Spanish flavor. Spain mixes a little bit of old, with a little bit of new, bringing traditional recipes from the seafood-influenced Galicia region and other areas of Spain and adding the sounds of Flamenco guitar to an ultra-modern, white curtained and stainless steel-accented interior.
On the last Saturday of each month, Spain presents two Flamenco show times with both music and dancing. Although the restaurant is small, the setup makes for an ideal group setting. Sit back and enjoy the Spanish traditions of good food, good company and good music. Ole!
