You should visit this place to lunch with beautiful sea view. Local´s recommendation: Tapas are only served at the bar and at the tables just around the bar. During the weekend no tapas are being served and a reservation should be made. It´s a typical place to eat tapas during lunchtime during the week. On the tapas menu you won´t find prices because the price of the tapa is included with the drinks. Tapas are not included when you order soft drinks, but they will be charged at very economic prices (about 1,8€ if I remember well)
The best time to go for tapas is at 13:00. They won´t let you make a reservation if you want to go for tapas, so it´s important to go around 13:00. If you go later, all places around the bar might be occupied.
You should definitely try their sea food tapas: Lenguadito, jibia plancha, boquerones frito or meat tapa: secreto (No this is not the secret tapa, it´s a part of a pork´s shoulder muscle)
Typical price: 15€/person at the bar, 20-25€ in the restaurant area.

A typical Spanish restaurant popular by locals. At the terrace and around the bar they will serve you tapas when you order something to drink. Don´t let the waiter guide you to the restaurant area, tell them upon arrival you would like to eat tapas.
On the tapas menu you won´t find prices because the price of the tapa is included with the drinks. Tapas are not included when you order soft drinks, but they will be charged at very economic prices. If you´re not thirsty anymore, you can just order an extra tapa.
It´s possible the waiters won´t be able to communicate with you in English.
Tapas from the typical Spanish kitchen:
• Jamon al horno de leña (roast ham served on a toast)
• Salmorejo (cold tomato soup typically served with crumbled egg and ham – Spanish people may be offended by calling it soup – it´s quite refreshing in summer)
• Calamar a la plancha ( Squid – not the typical fried calamares rings you will find at touristic places but the fish just like it comes out of the sea. It´s possible you will find a piece of plastic inside, it´s not plastic, it´s like the skeleton and can easily be removed by pulling it out. The part with the small tentacles contains something which looks like an eye, actually it´s the mouth of the calamar which you can remove with your knife. Apart from the plastic part and the mouth, everything can be eaten)
• Tocino (Pork fat, cut in very thin slices)
• Pastel de berenjena (Something similar to Moussaka, with eggplant and other vegetables from the local greenhouses.)
I recommend to try a lot of different things and share them with your partner. Do not order everything at once. Order your drink with a tapa, when you´re finished, order the next round.
Typical price: 15-20€/person (when eating tapas, the restaurant area is a little bit more expensive and you won´t be able to eat tapas)
