The home of tapas, Spain is hardly unaccustomed to the concept of small and fast when it comes to food. But at times the idea of tapas far exceeds the reality of salty fish swimming in brine, or meat that has been sitting out on a counter all day long. But at Sagardi you get the benefit of small portions and loads of variety, but all freshly prepared and full of flavour. It’s a bite-sized treat.

My favourite in Valencia. The Sagardi establishments are a Basque chain, so the huge barrel next to the bar is not for wine but for very strong rough cider. Drink it with caution. The tapas, mostly of the kind called 'montaditos' (like miniature open sandwiches), are all the same price and very reasonable.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
