This great
tabanco in the San Miguel area of Jerez has been open continuously since 1934.
There others which have been there longer, but which have suffered periods of closure.
This family business, run by Jesús Muñoz, has stoically survived periods of
unfashionability, when the tabancos looked like being lost and there were only
two left: El Pasaje and San Pablo. Luckily there has been a revival, and there
are now many.

San Pablo
has great atmosphere, and if the walls could speak they could tell all sorts of
anecdotes about the characters such as actors, bullfighters who have visited over the
years. In celebration, San Pablo has organised a tasting of the famous Jerezano
dish Berza (a stew of cabbage, beans, chorizo etc) and a venenciador will dish
out copitas of Sherry as befits one of the "temples" of Sherry.
