    A tiny taverna in the Old Town that serves exactly four things: tortilla, tomato salad, padron peppers, and txuleta. The tortilla gets its own mythology, since the owner makes two a day and two only, one for lunch and one for dinner. Show up around eleven to queue with everyone else, state your case when the shutters go up, and hope for the best. Standing room at the bar is the more likely outcome, and nobody seems to mind.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
