Guidebook for Manchester
Food Scene
Best Spanish restaurant in Manchester and my favourite in the city. They combine tasty food, great wine or beer and the most friendly service you will get.
It is a must go, but should try booking before due to high local demand.

A secret small treasure. The oldest 'public' library in the UK. Well worth a visit. Make sure you find out when the tours are. You cannot enter the property without a guide since it is also a functioning music school. The building and small grounds are picturesque. Interior takes you back in time to the middle ages. Well restored.
