Vejer simply stole my coronary heart (once more!), and this time, it’s all due to a brand new tapas bar known as Lomo en Manteca.
Lately I’ve hung my head in despair when witnessing adjustments in Vejer de la Frontera similar to folks putting in digital metal blinds & utilizing marble instead of our conventional toscos (bricks). Such issues belong in locations like Ibiza. Not in our lovely conventional pueblo blanco.
Then alongside comes Juan Melero, his sister Ana & native gastro professional, Benjamin Colsa, storing my religion, with their imaginative and prescient of a tapas bar showcasing the normal meals of Vejer. La Taberna del Lomo en Manteca (opened March 2024) not solely respects the traditions of Vejer, however amplifies them with large appeal. Juan & Ana have at all times been a visionaries. As ice cream entrepreneurs of El Mastrén ice cream outlets, Juan & Ana created the scrumptious Cobichocs – choc-ices on stix within the picture of a girl sporting the cobijada – the historic native gown of Vejer.
