This cosy stone-walled and wood-beamed spot serves home-style Cantabrian pinchos (snacks) and meals, including a well-priced three-course menú del día (daily set menu, €11). It's in Puente Viesgo, 25km southwest of Santander, and is a convenient place for a bite on a day trip to the Cuevas de Monte Castillo.
