Bright and sunny by day, softly lit at night, Sol i Lluna is a peaceful, elegant place that has
as its distinguishing feature a giant wooden hippo (frequently topped with a small child) in
the window. The food is mostly French, but draws in influences from around the globe, such
as the 'lasagne' of ratatouille with goat's cheese or the vegetarian Puy lentil 'meatballs'.

CANTINA MACHITO
€12-14; 11am-2am; Fontana or Joanic)
On the leafy Torrijos street, the colourful Machito - which seems devoted to the image of
Frida Kahlo - gets busy with locals, and the outside tables are a great place to eat and drink
until late. You'll find all the standard Mexican delights like quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas
and so on, and some wonderfully refreshing iced water flavoured with honey and lime, mint
and fruit.
