Across the car-park from the old fish market of Isla Cristina, is Bar Abuelo Mañas. You would be…read morehard pressed to find a more typical bar serving Andalucian seafood with locally produced sherries and wines and complimentary olives. We ordered cold grilled shrimp, which the waiter said are always more fresh and a better all around option than fried shrimp. Lightly salted and very tasty. Then came the clams in Olive Oil - very tasty. The server seemed a little untrustworthy as he kept encouraging us to buy more food because it was supposedly cheaper (?...). He also suggested for our purse to be taken off the table and put on the chair adjacent to us even though there was plenty of space on the table to accommodate it as well as what we had ordered. We said we wanted to keep our stuff in eyes view because of thieves. He rebutted by saying that thieves don't operate in the area (?...). In the end, we kept our belongings on the table and had a great experience.

Don't give up trying to find it as it's a great little spot with palapas on the beach. It's mid-range priced and two people can eat lunch for about 40 euros. We had 4 beers, 2 appetizers of tomatoes and a steak entree and a chicken entree. They do bring a bowl of bread, butter and bread sticks. Just so you know these are not complementary but they charge .60 for each item you eat. That's inexpensive but I just wanted to make sure that you are aware of the little extra cost. It was ok food, nothing special but the service was amazing. This is one place which understands that turning tables will make money. I didn't feel pushed out but it was nice to get service the way we're used to it in the US. Most of the places here in Spain and also in Portugal are not used to high tips so they tend to be very slow. This is great when you have all the time in the world to eat but can be annoying when you want to have some attention. This place was spot on with the service. I took photos of the food and menu and location so enjoy. They do have a full bar if you're feeling the need for a big coctail.
