There was only problem, I was just recovering from a nasty case of food poisoning that had laid me low for the previous 24 hours. My appetite wasn't up to it's normal greedy levels but I did my best considering.

The tapas here are a little experimental, like Zeruko in San Sebastian, owner, Guillermo is from the Basque Country too. He runs this little place with his charming wife and explains everything on the daily changing menu in detail. Look at those prices!
We start with a 'birds nest' truffled egg. Good but more style over actual flavour.
Next, Scallop Ceviche, Basque Spider Crab and a lovely fresh coconut Ajo Blanco.
The risotto is more like a disappointingly dry rice but the wasabi ice cream is a revelation!
More lovely stuff with tender octopus and tuna tataki, the grilled foie gras is divine.
We share a beautiful gin and tonic sorbet for dessert, a perfect way to end any meal.
We both loved De Locos, it sometimes veers into gimmick over pure flavour but who cares when in general it's all so enjoyable to eat for such little money. Well worth the detour to Ronda, we plan to return and eat lots more if we can get a table.
