Bodegas Calatrava: “There aren’t many bodegas like this anymore”
This is one of those true city bodegas that functions first as a shop and then as a bar – though, over time, the bar has become the main event. It feels closer to a social club, or a working men’s club like the ones back in Newcastle where I’m from: somewhere you might stop for a quick drink before the match, or find yourself drowning your sorrows after a funeral with complete strangers who turn out to have known your uncle – they worked together for years and used to drink here together after shift.
