Overlooking the delightful and small namesake cove at the northern end of the beach, this appealing seafood restaurant with its jaunty blue decor enjoys one of the best locations in town – hence its popularity. Dishes are well executed – even the salads, something of a rarity in a Spanish seafood restaurant. The seafood soup is good value at €3.
