Jaima Meccarola

Los Caños de Meca


This massive, super-popular multipurpose venue is set into the cliffs above Caños' main beach. You can dig into grilled fish in the alfresco beer bar or sip beachy mojitos on the Atlantic-facing cocktail terrace, while the semi-open-air jaima (Bedouin tent) lounge-tetería, strewn with Moroccan rugs and pouffes, serves fusion meals (€10 to €16). Later on, there's a low-key club-like vibe.
