Bodega El Gato

Lugar con sabor roteño, antigua bodega, ambiente pueblerino, no te quedes sin probar sus chicharrones, langostinos a la plancha y arranque, espectacular.

This is one of those places one passes and sees «nothing» that pleases them, and continues walking. I’ve been coming here for years to buy my manzanilla wine in bottle — meaning that I bring an empty bottle and they fill it up. Just paid 2.70 € for my manzanilla in a liter bottle. If you don’t bring a bottle they can fill up one of theirs for that purpose. The price may be higher because you’re paying for the bottle too. Try some of their other wines too, all great and worth sampling. Their outside patio is roomy but at times it can be all filled up. Small TV inside for entertainment but other a place to hang out and just take a drink. Unlike their other place Bodega Punto across from the plaza in downtown Rota (about a slow 7min walk from here), there is NO kitchen here; there’s a few things you can order that will keep your stomach happy. Usually a bunch of old men passing their time here; don’t allow that to scare you away. They are kind and friendly as is everyone else in there. I love seeing the ongoing tab on the bar counter — a sight I haven’t seen in years. A sign of the old times in Andalucia that is quickly fading :(

Bodeguita, lugar de reunión de ancianos del lugar. Disponen de diferentes variedades de vino de la localidad, los cuales también estan disponible para su venta.
Tiene un pequeño patio exterior, donde poder sentarse, pero tiene momentos que no hay donde buscar un hueco. En cuanto a tapas, no dispone de cocina, tienendo unicamente un chacina de muy buena calidad. El arranque roteño y el queso payoyo, son obligados de pedir.
