Reviews
Incredible experience in this Spanish jewel in Armenia, Quindío with food that tastes as good as the best restaurants in Galicia, Spain and desserts that seemed to have come from another world. We had seafood paella and it was an explosion of flavors, couldn’t be better. And for dessert Tarta San Marcos is a must, unforgettable. We had the luxury of meeting Juan Pablo and Dayana, the owners, who shared the amazing journey that brought them here, and how they were inspired by Dayana’s mom to create all these amazing dishes.
