I am really glad I chose Camino for my small family gathering. It is in a brilliant location and has a very chilled atmosphere. The food was lovely. All the various tapas were delicious, especially the gambas al ajilo and the suckling pig. The puddings tasted great, especially the chocolate cigar. The staff member who served us was very friendly and helpful. The white wine we chose was excellent. I will definitely be visiting this fantastic restaurant again,
