Hi Ben and Marina,
I have recently discovered that the oldest restaurant in the world is in Madrid.(1725)
It is called Botin.Apparently the artist Goya worked there as a dishwasher!
Have you eaten there?Also,are the prices exorbitant?

I have passed it many times but never been in. I imagine you could eat there for about 50 Euros a head... possibly less... so not too bad for somewhere that is quite touristy.
