"Well, because it’s really frustrating when you say yes, that we’ve been around since 1702, but there comes a point when you can’t keep proving it because my grandfather, and in fact, if you look at the restaurant’s logo, it says Casa Pedro since 1702. So we said, damn, let’s try to prove it, maybe we can, and that’s the only goal, to say, well, if my grandfather said it was 1702, there must be a reason. So yes, we are finding things."

But not far away, a small family-run restaurant says that it was founded 23 years before Botín, in 1702.
Casa Pedro’s owners have combed through local archives and hired a historian to prove it, and say they’re getting close to proving they are the oldest.
Irene Guiñales, co-manager of Casa Pedro, said "If you look at the restaurant’s logo, it says Casa Pedro since 1702. So we said, damn, let’s try to prove it."
