Patillas Bar

"The temples", as three generations of Burgos know, is a bar you do not expect to find in a Spanish capital. It is the meeting place for all the flamenco lovers of the city, where a group of friends meet with their guitar, any day of the week, to sing. A whole party comes out of just one song. I would say more: it is the heart of the bohemian Burgos. The bar is named this way because of the owners sideburns ("patillas" in spanish), which in turn honours his father. I remember as a child seeing them together behind the bar (the bar is easily over 50years old)now it just the child runs it. Despite being an old bar, the atmosphere is very youthful.
