Freshly sizzled up paella and tasty local fish accompanied by papas arrugadas are served in a cosy dining room with a just handful of tables and views of the ocean at this welcoming, well-established seafood spot on Timijiraque's main road. Berros (watercress) croquettes and fried island cheese with mojo are other specialities.
