A great find in a difficult year (2020) delicious food in an incomparable beach bar. This "xiringuito" on the beach a Sant Marti is the place your are looking for if you want a plate of fresh sardines or grilled calamari while sipping a white wine and enjoying the view of the sea. Tucked in between Sant Marti and L'Escala on the sea walk.

Gorgeous place, with excellent cuisine and wines at reasonable prices and a very welcoming team. More small plates than large meals. The very best calamari. Delicious desserts accompanied by a glass of the house muscatel wine! Late night cocktail bar in high season.

Excellent walking trails and small bays for swimming. Can be tiring on a hot day so be prepared and bring water and food. Best to get a map or guide before you start. One of the most accessible trails is the Pla de Tudela, where you can see many of the strange animal formations that inspired the work of Salvador Dalí.
