Taberna Tempranillo

A serious Spanish wine bar on Cava Baja with a list running to hundreds of bottles by the glass, paired with a short, well-executed tapas menu built to complement the wine rather than the other way around.

The wine list is the draw — ask the staff for a recommendation by region if the sheer length is overwhelming, since it covers nearly every Spanish denominación of origin. It gets busy on Cava Baja's peak evening hours; arriving slightly before 21:00 improves your odds of a table. Food is tapas-portioned and meant for sharing across a few glasses rather than a full sit-down dinner.
