Ensanche bar on Calle Diputación famous for baked spider crab and fried artichoke with ham.
El Globo is on Diputación Kalea in the Ensanche, the 19th-century grid across from the Casco Viejo. It is known for baked spider crab (txangurro), fried artichoke hearts with ham and an Idiazabal tartlet.
The street also hosts La Viña del Ensanche at number 10, so the two are usually done together.
