Food Scene

The whole of this street is filled with establishments selling Pintxos and Tapas, predominantly Basque in style (the street is known in the local English press as Tapas Alley), but also some more formal food. It is very touristy, but very atmospheric, and a fantastic place to order by pointing - either at what's laid out on the bar, or on someone else's plate.

Great flavours from Eastern Europe, with many dishes made to share, so good for groups. The lounge is run by our former Airbnb guests, with fabulous cocktails from a prize-winning barista as either an aperitif or a digestif - or both

Situated next to the beach, great for breakfast or brunch. A tostada with tomato (garnish with salt and oil) - "pa tomaquet" - is a cheap, delicious, and filling way to start the day.
