"Among
the many Spanish restaurants in Manila, probably
no other can clay claim to having the longest
staying power than ALBA. The man behind it is
Anastacio de Alba, a native of Avila in Spain,
who first set food on this shore on February
7, 1952. For an individual like him, who has
been cooking for a period of almost 40 years,
one can easily assume that the man has a love
of his craft." |
