Santa Pola for lunch

TonTri wrote:Funnily enough we did Santa Pola marina on Thursday as we changed the hire car. I think we parked in the car park you mention. We stopped for coffee and a tostada and watched the fishermen with their nets. As you say, it's a lovely place for a day out.

Another place you might want to try if you havent been recently is not too far away at Playa El Pinet, Restaurante Gallego Playa. It is nothing to look at as you approach from the carpark and in fact the area looks shut. We went there the week before last and it has a wonderful terrace right on the beach. It was really busy with many people coming and going midday-ish. Decent menu, but there is another restaurant a little further down the rather drab line of buildings, Hostal Maruja which we are going to try next time. That also has a terrace on the beach and seemed a better menu.

Both restaurants at El Pinet have now closed permanently, and the beach is polluted....suggest you try somewhere else.
