Across the car-park from the old fish market of Isla Cristina, is Bar Abuelo Mañas. You would be…read morehard pressed to find a more typical bar serving Andalucian seafood with locally produced sherries and wines and complimentary olives.
We ordered cold grilled shrimp, which the waiter said are always more fresh and a better all around option than fried shrimp. Lightly salted and very tasty. Then came the clams in Olive Oil - very tasty.
The server seemed a little untrustworthy as he kept encouraging us to buy more food because it was supposedly cheaper (?...). He also suggested for our purse to be taken off the table and put on the chair adjacent to us even though there was plenty of space on the table to accommodate it as well as what we had ordered. We said we wanted to keep our stuff in eyes view because of thieves. He rebutted by saying that thieves don't operate in the area (?...). In the end, we kept our belongings on the table and had a great experience.
