Gaps
What is missing
A directory that hides its holes is one you cannot check. Here are ours, counted, with nobody to blame but the phone we have not picked up.
| Field | Rooms with it | Without |
|---|---|---|
| publishes its days | 24 | 5 |
| says how it seats two | 27 | 2 |
| says whether it pours a Picon | 5 | 24 |
| publishes a price | 4 | 25 |
| publishes a founding year | 19 | 10 |
| has an address | 29 | 0 |
Every one of these closes with a phone call and a note of who answered. None of them closes by guessing.

Rooms we have not reached
0 rooms in this directory come from a published directory row and nothing else — an address, a phone number, a name. They are here because leaving them out would misrepresent how many Basque rooms these three states hold. Their status reads not established and they are excluded from every filter that would put two people in a car.
