Where is Rosas Cantina?
Well, there have been several candidates proposed over the years; for instance, there’s a Mexican restaurant on Strøget in Copenhagen that used to be called “Rosas Cantina” (but now just is called “Mama Rosas”), or the Rosa’s Cantina in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where they make fishbowl-size margaritas. However, the inspiration for the song is actually a cafe on the Algarve coast in Portugal, Ian Gillan’s second home.
