Twenty one (wasted?) years to be precise. Is it too late to catch up? Went with the wife and friends on a Friday and then found myself walking right past on the Sunday just before last orders and was unable to resist! They even gave me a table for four which encouraged my usual "eyes are bigger than stomach" problem. I broke the rule about mobile phones in restaurants when, with mouth full of griiled squid, I phoned my wife, who was away for the weekend, to confess. Forgive me, for I have sinned, but it was worth it! They are currently offering a special three for the price of two on all tapas at weekday lunchtimes. I think I will find myself ambling by again quite soon. Like you, I missed out on El Parador for so many years! Twenty one (wasted?) years to be precise. Is it too late to catch up?
