The prices of these dishes
are all between one and two pesetas. Under the heading of _fritures_,
all kinds of _conchas_ and _Escalopitas_ and _Croquettas_ are to be
found, as well as the _Frito Mixto_; and the fish column gives an
interesting selection of the sea denizens of the coast, _Rap_,
_Calamares_, _Merluza_, _Pouvine_, and others. The banquets at the
Continental are entirely French in character.
Martin's in the Rambla del Centro is almost in front of the Opera House,
and has a number of snug little rooms for supper parties, of two or
more, after the theatre. This is a dinner for a dozen given at Martin's.
The position in the menu of game, _hors-d'oeuvre_, and fish is in
accordance with the usual Spanish custom, and is always adhered to in
this establishment:--
