Casa De Espana - Ulma

The Casa de Espana can only be discovered if you belong to the Spanish community or if you happen to be lost in the rather inhospitable no-man's country between Ehinger Tor and the Transitional Bridge to the railway tracks. There is no gastronomic offer to be expected in this bleak counter Ulms. The original cultural association resides on the ground floor of a multi-family house and uses the space on the longitudinal side of the building for outdoor gastronomy. The small guest room in Innern has a hearty charm of a 1950s small animal breeder's association: with linoleum floor, jewelleryless fluorescent tubes on the ceiling and simplest host house furniture. There are a few liquor bottles and cups on the shelf above the counter. The toilets are more than simple, with a common sink in the through-floor. For this, you can get inspired by the diverse range of dishes and the very charming service. The Casa de Espana is a veritable tapasbar with very reasonable prices and an attractive selection of dishes: olives, roasted almonds, fish and seafood, meat in all variations, salads in different combinations, croquets and frits, various sweets, paella and mixed dishes. At prices you have to rub your eyes wondered. A bowl of mixed salad with tuna costs 3.50 euros, a serving of wild potatoes with Salsa Brava 3,00 euros, a potato omelet 2,50 euros, a classic paella with chicken and seafood whole 8.00 euros, marinated pork lent with frits 7.00 euros. A jammer that Casa has opened on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. We also beach here by chance on a lukewarm Sunday evening on the way to our accommodation. There is plenty of room for the simple beer tables (but this changes during the evening). The well-launched, sweeping service girl quickly brings the card and the ordered dishes and drinks. We are thrilled! The wine choirs are placed in simple lemonade glasses, well cooled and unfortunately with ice cubes (in my eyes an absolute no-go, but in Spain apparently as usual as I am explained). I've never heard the wine varieties used, but who's wondering? 2.80 euros for 0.3 liters are more than favorable. Then come in a quick sequence: an optically unspectacular but aromatic tomato salad (2.90 euros), a colourful mixed salad with tuna (3.50 euros), 10 tasty grilled gambas (8.50 euros), a plate with spicy Manchego cheese (7.90 euros), two mauric spikes from pig a 2.90 euros. More is unfortunately not in it. But I wonder what might hide behind the egg on flamenco species? And what are Pepitas or Musitos? Some can be admired by the side tables. Here every guest seems to be happy – whether it is a loud Spanish clique, a German tourist family with Teenie daughter or a sparing couple who loves a small salad. Tableware, glasses and cutlery are absolutely simple and not always harmonizing, but the quality of food and the impressive portion sizes are convincing. The service mantle is skillfully bilingual and acts with great charm and sweetness. A little later, when it gets full, she gets male support. We would prefer to be sitting here every evening, but on Monday we must remember the limited opening hours. Shame! Anyone who is on foot can easily try the wonderful range of wines and spirits. Car drivers will find numerous parking spaces directly on the road, but they are always quickly occupied. The railway station is just a few steps away, the Ehinger Tor tram junction as well. There you could come to the end: all (kulinarian) ways lead to Spain! Maybe on the way over Ulm.
