Cervecería El Campañón

Generous, wide-ranging, well-priced tapas, raciones and mains reel in the loyal locals at this energetic family-run tapas haunt and sit-down restaurant on the west of the Río Guadiana. It mixes uncomplicated extremeño classics (jamón, fried squid, tenderloin medallions) with more creative offerings (caramelised onion on goats' cheese, salmon-and-guacamole-topped bread). From central Badajoz, cross the Puente de Palmas and head 500m west.
