He and his daughters run the restaurant with a few close coworkers who may as well be family, and their service is as good as the food. Everything, from boquerones (lightly fried large sardines) to patatas bravas to pulpo (octopus) has been perfect every time.

Recently acquired by the proprietor, he says it keeps busy, and they broadcast football (soccer) and even have wifi! A great location and a nice place to stop for a bite on your holiday. Enjoy!
