Bars

From Eating Asturias, the Encyclopedia of Asturian Gastronomy

When is a bar not a bar? When you're in Spain of course. Spain plays fast and loose with language, and nowhere is that more in evidence than in how it names places to eat and drink. So if you are looking for a place to drink, you probably want to avoid places called "bar" and look instead for one of these types below.
