The word "la caña" has many meanings, which is why I decided to place this article in "Spanish Matters". I think it could be interesting for foreigners learning Spanish. I certainly found the research fascinating.

"La Caña"
I was inspired to write this piece the other day while I was enjoying a lunchtime beer and a couple of tapas in a fairly new bar in Ronda (Malaga) called "La Caña". It's been open just over two years.
I've been several times before and I like it. It's a great addition to the tapas scene in Ronda.

Why do I like it?
Well, I am always made to feel welcome by the staff, propietaria Laura and the real boss, apparently, cousin Maria. Sometimes Laura's dad, Maria's uncle, is there too.
He was the "brains" behind the conversion and the extant style, but he leaves his daughter and niece to run the place.
On this pàrticular day, Friday, I had just successfully sorted out a problem at the bank, so I was in a good mood, and thought I deserved a nice beer.

And that's what I got at "La Caña", "Alcazar" from Jaen (Jaen), one of my favourite Spanish beers.
I was also a little "peckish" (no breakfast), so I ordered a couple of tapas.
