We’re a Repsol Solete

What is a Repsol Solete?
A Solete is a recognition from the Repsol Guide, one of Spain’s best-known food guides. While its Soles go to restaurants with high-end cuisine, Soletes are given to bars, wine bars, terraces and cafés that stand out for their authenticity, their charm and the way they make people feel welcome. It celebrates places with soul, honest food and fair prices that you want to come back to. Alenar is one of them.

Traveler
For now, the finest ones he has tasted to date—though there is still much ground to cover—are those from Bar Viciano in the Dénia Market, and Alenar Bodega Mediterránea in Valencia’s city center. In the latter, they are served as round patties, halved inside a sandwich with baby broad beans and garlic mayonnaise.
