Súper buen sitio enfrente de la playa. Fuimos mi pareja y yo a cenar sobre las 23:00 de la noche y había mucha gente, pensábamos que no íbamos a poder cenar, los camareros super atentos y nos consiguieron una mesa, nos dijeron que tardarían un poquito más y no nos importó. Pedimos y las tapas muy ricas, nos encantaron las vieiras y el cangrejo frito. La comida salió rápida y caliente para la gente que había. La única pega era la tormenta de arena y se voló todo por lo demás lo recomiendo 100%.

We enjoyed having a drink here. Good service, nice staff and good atmosphere. It's next to a play ground, which is nice if you like the liveliness of playing kids. I think it's closed during weekdays in winter, but on Sundays it's opened.
