Spain is another country that is very different, might even have been the boring Iceland, for example, without their short bars, martinis, top of salad or croquettes one o'clock.
a bar in Spain is a home, a home, a fire, a cozy space that English men and they always come back (some several times a day, if you leave the room for something).
I knew long ago Luis Carandell teacher, a great fan and chronicler of this in English bars (memorable article about the different types of coffees that ask the English in a bar), which in our Celtiberia Show is customary that of "but I have bad legs either visit the taverns" or "the handsome man has to smell wine and snuff."
For example, to talk about what sets us apart from much of the rest of Europe must take into account that one of the most significant scales-much more than GDP, the deficit, currencies or other macroeconomic scales - is a bar, tavern, life within the community space, socializing and meeting which is a typical English bar.
Herein lies much of that our character and patriotic character. What reasons have led us to this fact I weigh differential with the rest of the world? Very simple.
You are in London or Amsterdam and you ask the European native what there is to visit near where you are and the European native makes it a perfect round of museums, libraries, historic buildings, the house of Anne Frank the statue of Peter Pan, mint and timbre, and so on.
You are in Madrid, Murcia and La Coruña and a foreigner asks the native English-al Pepe passing by, for example, what to see here and going and you loose:
- ... Well, now you are two and four, so Baldomero House to take a rioja and a cover is not bad, and then right next door is the Bar Manolo (English in all districts there is a Bar Manolo) which is about fried calamari scrumptious with a pair of canes ... and across the sidewalk, not moving much because of the heat and dehydration, is the "Squid", a good house wine at a good price ...
And if you leave a little planning you personally (especially English in staff training has frustrated) to French or Czech route wine, meal and bebercio that at five and is singing the Clavelitos guiri of the Calle Real.
Because much of the rest of Europe that there is breakfast called "Inglés Breakfast" (bacon, sausages, fried eggs, juice, cereals ...) while in the bars of the English bars and truck Roofing , at eight o'clock, and asked her Sol y Sombra, a beer, a ham sandwich and a cigar to digest on the way to work.
But let the heart of the question ... What is a classic English bar, how to define it scientifically, in that order of things and hierarchy natural lo encuadramos?
A continuación expongo una serie de elementos imprescindibles e infalibles para reconocer un bar español de los de siempre, de los buenos, coño, de los de toda la vida, con dos cojones, que diría Torrente:
- El dueño se llama Manolo o Pepe y su mujer, que está en la cocina, Maruja o Charo. Suelen tener bigote, ellos, algunas manchas de grasa en la camisa a cuadros y cercos de sudor alrededor de la axila. Huelen a Varon Dandy o Brummel . La mujer suele asomar la cabeza un poco por la puerta de la cocina- siempre va con un mandilón con flores- cuando él le pregunta si quedan camarones o "cocretas de pollo". Al principio son un poco huraños y protestones, but with increasing confidence and trust you do not let anything you find that are good people, even friendly. Pure
zoology.
- On the ground typically have sawdust for better cleaning of the premises where patrons, from eight, spit the beverages and olives, or to absorb before the blood of any bodies of retirees who can go falling during the day after so much bleeding and freaking.
- An authentic English bar that boasts walls always have a chair or Firestone Pirelli calendar in 1978 with the corresponding teaching buxom breast (as Eros at the time, as the wicker rocking chair Emmanuel) or a signed poster Deportivo alignment with Bebeto, Manjarín and Djukic along with one of Real Madrid or Barca today.
also often part of Feng-Shui of the English bar to channel the positive and negative energies Mirinda a poster, a club with a droll slogan superimposed on if you had happened ( "does not trust today, tomorrow yes ) give the pyro, a glass shelf with glasses half dirty old Nutella, a bottle of anise on Mono as that with which a regional playing out at the beginning of the "Roots" and mediated a dusty bottle of liqueur called Cynar.
- There are three long tables reserved in a English bar, one for pensioners and retirees playing dominoes tute and another for Aunt fucking doing the crossword at the bar and monopolizes the newspaper for two hours and last for the children of the owners do their homework when they arrive from school, while his father yell at you remove Spain Direct and put the pictures of the Gormiti. You
you're taking your beer and stale tortilla skewer while the child asks the Manolo what are the tributaries of the Ebro Who said that bars do not culturizar?
- The yellow cloth soaked to clean the table is part of the idiosyncrasy and inimitable personality of the Hispanic bar and can not miss on any local who wants to be respected. The owner's happening in several distinct senses while asking you to pick up the napkin to make the table more enmerdada than it already was, as with waves of fat and tiny rainbows, if you look sideways.
- English In each bar there are always two or three customers watching the news, the part-while they discuss each news cast while plagues the government, the president of the football team in your town or dictating axioms founded on global warming - ... now there is no winter or anything, when I was a kid that yes they were December and January ... all because of global warming, as they say in the party.
the end always come to two firm agreements, whether any or all of what they are talking about: the fault of politicians who are all thieves and crooks ... and women are rarer than a particle accelerator mounted by hand without instructions.
- As soon as most of the police and Civil Guard had just taxi drivers, bar owners marriages always come from Switzerland, so many bars are called Bern and Zurich. They put together a little capital and there are, with their canes, olives and nuts holding drunken gossip customers have stayed instead of enjoying the quality of life in Basel and the fresh air and alpine mountain savory.
There are also those with literary pretensions who play with their names at the time of giving a name to the local: BAR MILITO (His name is Miguel, Lina and her son Thomas), or something that starts with Bar will do the grace-Tolo Bar, Bar-bushing ...
Without words.
- A English bar that does not have hanging on their walls with slogans such tavern tiles like: "The best shot, wine and ham", "Single and forties, what a lucky bastard" or "If I have trust I lose friends and receivables, to avoid enemies it is best not trust ".
popular culture at its purest.
- A feature of the English classic bars are the services or toilet, people say thinner. They tend to be of force and targeting of those with health hole and had banned but are still there, reigning in many local rejoicing. The tank is usually damaged and there is an old towel and hand dryers rather corroded, but with the marinade for two weeks without washing it seems the map of Middle Earth, a strange, dark country of Mordor in the center that gives food for thought.
Well that, my friends, in these times of waiters clean and muscular, with tight lycra shirts black, white bars of nitrogen and shelf design green bamboo reeds in glass vases with stones of heated wine bars and wine cabinets, local supply of oxygen and the type of cutting edge lids Fresh figs with caramelized foie gras and chocolate sausage marinated with soy ... is at most we must protect and preserve our presence and local chatter these loveable English classics, with anchovies, squid and dumplings to stick embedded, the menus of the day with yet napkin plaid, this three-day industrial bakery Countertop with flies over, the calendars of "Bar Javivi" I want Happy 2009 or coupon promotions always newspapers cut in the back.
There's nothing like the warmth of love in a bar. English, of course, with two balls.
