Last Minute Cancellation

Trip got canceled last minute. The markets were closed for a holiday - but this should have/could have been known in advance. They DID connect me with another tour for another day of my trip. And if I Could - I Would still do this tour

Great experience!

Elegant and refined venue on the fishing pier. Imposing structure with ample parking. Even though it has many seats, you can still enjoy separate and private environments. Ideal for business and work dinners. Specialties mainly based on seafood, but you can eat anything. Excellent selection of fish and wines. The only complaint concerns the paella, which did not satisfy in terms of flavor and cooking method. In fact, it was very dry and therefore not very soft on the palate. Spectacular view and equally spectacular bill! A nice experience!

Recommended, go there

very kind staff, efficient service, excellent food. We ate various meats, from cordero to ribeye. Serve on warm cast iron plates to maintain temperature. With starter and dessert we spent around €40 each
