Lunch at Restaurante Botín, Oldest in the World

To celebrate Miriam's birthday, we took her Restaurante Sobrino de Botín, the oldest restaurant in the world. The Botín opened in 1725 on Calle del Cuchillero, Madrid, Spain, and has been in operation ever since then.

The food was expensive but not great (after all, we were paying mainly for the privilege of saying that we ate at the world's oldest restaurant). The main thing is that we had a great time!
