It seems that the owner had decided to defy the law by placing a sign on the restaurant window stating that smoking is still allowed at the Asador Guadalmina.<br /><br />I have to say that although the food is very, very good at the Asador, I wouldn't go there in principle for the fact that they are openly going against the new anti-smoking law. That's the way of the world and the Asador should comply ASAP.Gourmet Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649688899695596794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134019256123962986.post-16215658186881014482011-01-04T17:34:45.698+08:002011-01-04T17:34:45.698+08:00This place sucks and smells.

Asador Guadalmina has been consistently good (we've been too many times to count) with delicious tapas and friendly service. If it is really still smoky, there are always tables outside.Gourmet Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649688899695596794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134019256123962986.post-69426751719263443432011-01-04T07:20:41.258+08:002011-01-04T07:20:41.258+08:00Do not enter if you are not a heavy smoker.

How can you know that they do accomplish with other basic behaviors of hygiene and salubrity?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134019256123962986.post-66221662046556111272011-01-03T16:11:47.555+08:002011-01-03T16:11:47.555+08:00Hi Fusta,

At the most, it'll keep the air smoke-free and at the least, the floor can finally be clean instead of littered with cigarette butts.<br />Hope that Asador Guadalmina gets with the program soon.<br /> G.T.Gourmet Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649688899695596794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134019256123962986.post-38785105649664990292011-01-03T05:46:12.590+08:002011-01-03T05:46:12.590+08:00Altough the food is quite good, as in many other &...Altough the food is quite good, as in many other "asadores", unfortunately it is "polluted" by cigarrette smoke, as the owner of the "asador" has decided to "forget" about the recently passed law banning smoking in public places...<br /><br />I hope they get the fine they deserve...<br /><br />Don't say I didn't warn you! :PFustanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134019256123962986.post-931051209266374312008-02-04T21:41:00.000+08:002008-02-04T21:41:00.000+08:00You're welcome Chinot!
