Traditional tapas by the sea in Santa Pola
The tapas this town grew up on, two streets from the port
In Santa Pola since 1987. Fresh catch from the fish market, a sunny terrace and the best caldero around.
Our story
Three generations behind the bar
Manolo rolled up the shutter in 1987 with one simple idea: fresh produce from the Santa Pola fish market, a hot griddle and neighbourhood service. Today his grandchildren keep the same recipe. Red prawn, magro con tomate, Sunday caldero and vermouth on tap. No rush, no fuss: one of the last bars of its kind.
