  • Restaurant Name: Botin

    According to the Guiness Book of World Records, it's the oldest restaurant in the world. The cooking is still done in the original oven, which dates from 1725. The furniture is traditional Spanish, very heavy and very old. The timber steps leading to the upstairs dining areas have been scalloped by centuries of diners and staff.

    This is the restaurant where Jake Barnes, hero of The Sun Also Rises, plays his last scene; Hemingway gave the place considerable attention in Death in the Afternoon as well.

    Favorite Dish: Roast baby lamb, cooked whole in a claypot and carved at your table.
