Wonderful Spanish restaurant in the heart of the city. It is a tapas bar and has excellent paella. Happy hour is 4-6 each day with $1-$2 off drink and a discount on paella. TIP - order paella when you first arrive, takes 45 minutes to cook, but well worth it! We like to request the seafood paella with chorizo added (not as on menu). Live music is on Thursdays. Sunday Brunch 11-3 with full menu after 3. Off street parking lot

The bridge has a nice walking and bike path. Well worth it for the beautiful view. The Mt. Pleasant side of the bridge has paid parking at the Waterfront Park. The Charleston side has free parking on East Bay Street but you will have to walk a longer stretch before you reach the actual bridge section.
