A BAR in A Coruña (Galicia) has a regular customer who has been coming in daily for a plate of tortilla – or Spanish omelette – for the last four years, and plants herself on the counter to ensure she is the first to get served.
According to Javier, who runs Bar Pontejos, he started off serving her 'bread and leftovers', but she refused to touch them and will only eat tortilla.
And she has the same name as his mother and sister, Lola, explains Javier.
“She comes regularly from about 09.00 every morning to around 14.30 to check we've got tortilla,” Javier says.
