One of the oldest tascas in the neighborhood, Casa Alberto dates from 1827 and has thrived ever since. On the street level of a house where Miguel de Cervantes lived briefly in 1614, it contains an appealing mixture of bullfighting memorabilia, engravings, and reproductions of Old Masters paintings. Many visitors opt only for the tapas, continually replenished from platters on the bar, but a sit-down dining area offers more substantial meals. Specialties include fried squid, shellfish in vinaigrette sauce, chorizo in cider sauce, and several versions of baked or roasted lamb.
