About this spot
Beti-Jai in Parte Vieja (Old Town) does tapas right — small plates, big flavors, and a standing crowd at the bar arguing about football. This is Spanish eating at its most social.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order 2-3 tapas per person and share everything
- Eat at the bar, not a table — it's more fun and sometimes cheaper
- Napkins on the floor is normal at good tapas bars
