The owner, Jorge, is the nicest restaurant owner you'll ever find and he personally makes every order of paella. If you want the experience of a real, true tapas bar with a true Spanish feel. Go to Elias. There is no excuse for not coming here when in Torrevieja, absolutely the nicest and best restaurant in Torrevieja.

We have eaten with Jorge, the owner of Elias tapas restaurant for each of the four years in a row…read morewe have vacationed in torrevieja. He and his daughters run the restaurant with a few close coworkers who may as well be family, and their service is as good as the food. Everything, from boquerones (lightly fried large sardines) to patatas bravas to pulpo (octopus) has been perfect every time. And the prices are fantastic at 6 euro for a plate of boquerones and 3 euro for the patatas bravas. But by far our favorite is the made to order paella mixto. Jorge puts love into his cooking, and this, and his fresh seafood and vegetables, keep us coming. Ack year after year. It is always our first meal when we reach torrevieja, our home away from home.

I have had the pleasure of staying at the Finca Listonero a few times now, normally a week at a…read moretime. Having always enjoyed my stay I thought it was time to post a review. It is only a short drive from the sea and close to so many lovely Spanish villages and towns you can really see wonderful rural Spain. They provide such a relaxing stay, exceptionally helpful and the food is very great. It is sometimes too tempting to never leave and explore, but you must resist and see this wonderful part of Spain. However do indulge in cooked breakfast, sets you up nicely for a day of exploring. I enjoy the unlimited walks surrounding the Finca, you can walk for miles in almost any direction but good walking shoes are a must. The food is very high quality and I do choose to dine there at least several times when I stay, the menu is always different and seems to take influence from almost any country but with a Spanish twist. For example I love their chicken satay starter or the oh so Spanish sardines, for mains the pork secreto or the Spanish chicken casserole. I have even had the pleasure of fresh pizza cook in their outdoor oven. Anyway highly recommend for dining or getaway.
