peer agreement (net): +1a bar where you can go for a few drinks Explanation: From the Oxford Spanish: potear [A1] verbo intransitivo A (España familiar) (beber): salieron a potear they went out for a few drinks The idea is that you can go there and just have a few drinks and some pintxos, rather than a proper sit-down meal |

a drop-in bar Explanation: I don´t think there's any direct equivalent in English so you'll have to get round it another way: "It's a drop-in bar where you can enjoy some 'pintxos' (snacks) at the counter or sit down to eat." Something along those lines. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 minutos (2012-10-11 16:44:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Basically, it's one of those bars that people take in on a pub crawl, going from one bar to another to have a drink and a pintxo in each one. Highly recommendable :) Places in and around Padstow to visit for lunch www.woodlands-padstow.co.uk/out-about/lunch The whole place was re-vamped in January 2008 and looks magnificent.

peer agreement (net): +6"tapas" bar Explanation: I offer "tapas" because it is a pretty well known term internationally. Cómo somos los vascos Un vasco no se va d tapas: se va de poteo http://gananzia.com/como-somos-los-vascos Ir de tapas en el País Vasco es irse a Potear o Txikitear. http://locuraviajes.com/blog/san-sebastian-tapas/ Según el diccionario, tapa se define como: cualquier porción de alimento sólido capaz de acompañar a una bebida. La tapa tiene diversos nombres, según la zona de España donde se tome. En Aragón y Navarra se denomina alifara, en el País Vasco poteo. http://www.afuegolento.com/noticias/204/actualidad/7017/tapa... El sábado será más que evidente la presencia de banderas y bufandas rojiblancas, puesto que tienen programado 'poteo' popular (tapeo) por el centro histórico, amenizado por 'txistularis' y comparsa http://www.ayto-alcaladehenares.es/portalAlcala/contenedor3.... |
