Techos Bajos

Cartagena


Locals absolutely flood this large, no-frills kind of place at lunchtime for its well-priced portions of fresh fish and fried seafood served on classic blue-and-white-gingham paper tablecloths. You'll find it down the hill from the bus station, right opposite the fishing port. Usually closes for a month around September.
