Castellón de la Plana

El Rincón del Bocata

donde cada sabor tiene Alma

A neighbourhood bar on Plaza Tetuán, Castellón. People come for a mid-morning bite, for the set lunch, or to share tapas and bocadillos. The bread comes out of the oven freshly baked and the bocadillos are made to order.

There is vegetarian and vegan cooking, every bocadillo can be made without gluten, and at the weekend the grill is lit.

Entrance to El Rincón del Bocata: a dark double door between brick pillars, a sign with cutlery and a chalkboard with the day's menu on the pavement.
