Excellent seafood! There was a broad selection of locally caught fish this afternoon. The waiter…read morevery pleasantly showed me all of the fish. All looked very fresh. I selected my fish, and he asked how I would like it cooked (grilled, pan fried, in the oven). I had him grill it. That beauty came out perfectly. The salads were very fresh and tasty. They used a variety of greens that one doesn't always see on the coast. There was a variety of Spanish and some international wines. Service was very good. Dining al fresco at the waters edge, in this beautiful harbor should not be missed.

The view from one side over the bay of La Herradura; The view from the other side, over miles of unspoilt coastline with great beaches and an amazing sunset; The ambience of the place - tranquil and scenic; First class service, coupled with top quality food - classic dishes using traditional Spanish ingredients and a blend of something different - e.g. Prime Spanish entrecote steak with a 'Diane' sauce of shallots, mushrooms and white wine, finished with cream and mustard and served with proper chips. If you are in the Costa Tropical area, you simply have to go there.

In our search for tasty tapas we dropped in on El Sibarita…read morewhich is a small modern bar with plenty of outside seating situated just opposite the Bodega La Barrica near the main plaza. It's not much to look at but we had noticed that it seemed to draw quite a crowd of locals in the evening which always bodes well. It was a bit chilly when we dropped by so we decided to sit on one of the two small tables inside. We received a very warm and friendly welcome which is always nice quite possibly the tourist was a rare sight at this bar. There is not a great deal of choice on the wine front but they have a decent glass of house for only EUR2 and the tiny kitchen out back knocks up some very nice snacks to compliment your drink. We had a lovely grilled pork fillet which came with a little mound of well-seasoned mash, anchovies doused in vinaigrette and some very tasty squid with a shredded cabbage salad and a dollop of mayonnaise. The normal rules of one drink equals one tapas did not seem to be applying as the snackage just kept on coming .. If you are looking for a nice local vibe and wallet friendly prices then El Sibarita will suit you just fine.

One of the more authentic bars along the seafront, Los Toneles has an old school Spanish feel to it despite being a fairly modern bar. Whenever we dropped by it was pretty busy with a mix of locals and tourists it seemed to be popular with the English crowd. Nothing much out of the ordinary on the wine list but you will get a decent glass of vino for EUR2.50 (or a beer for EUR1.80) and some of the best tapas to be had in La Herradura. Two or three drinks at lunchtime and you will have had plenty of food to keep you going until dinner time. We had a plate of very tasty fried octopus which came with a roasted pepper and tomato salad, a spicy rice dish with fried fish and as we were about to leave the owner insisted we try some chunks of juicy pork with a few French fries all included for the price of your drink. We mulled over the fact that the octopus dish alone would have probably cost around £7/8 at somewhere like Brindisa in London
