Routes and restaurants to enjoy your trip more than ever

Apart from the Sunflower, the pizzeria, the burger, the sandwich shop, the Veril and “bar”, have another five or six places to eat in Caleta de Sebo, which is to say around La Graciosa (because Peter Beard, the mini -urbanization find north of the island, in case you had doubts, no, thanks).

Enriqueta
Next to the grocery store, a couple of streets behind the little walk from the port. Neither bother entering. The food is slightly worse than the other sites and you’ll quickly abundant sand (not on plates, missing more, but if your deck in the middle of nowhere and on the floor and tables).

The Sailor
On the street of the church and supermarkets. Well nice to be La Graciosa, with a neat well maintained and nice start recently. It is of note that Romero, the wealthy family of the island. Too bad it’s in the middle of the west and not facing the sea. Honestly, although the food is good (hey, as long as paella or the like do not ask …), so that better the Sunflower or the Inn of the Earth that will have views.

The Inn of the Earth
Terracita twin to “The Bar”, the other side of the mini-space hippies, almost touching the port port. The same dishes that everyone at the same prices. Sunflower prefer, because the more good mojo but little else. Do not ask fish for two, because I will be expensive (30 €) and it is not the tastiest in the world. A nibble little things that are two days.

House Chano
In the alley that runs from the fish, at the end of the harbor, up the street from the butcher, the parallel to the “principal” (the church, first aid kit, supermarkets and civil guard). The best, their fried calamari with fries. Worse, they do not make them feel like they have it because the fryer at home and not in the restaurant. If you are more than two weeks in La Graciosa, worth a try one day. If not, they miss the views.

The Brotherhood
Going up to the Barranco de los Conejos, address Pedro Barba (incidentally a great ride and a great little cove of the ravine, great for weekends where French beach may have planted the ferry there, and if in Las Conchas west wind blows or the tide is high -> and therefore the waves are more exaggerated than ever), if you go stuck at sea, you will pass in front of a kind of bar-brotherhood. We’ve never seen open, rather than for family dinners, including wedding, but still have a poster that says: “Saturday’s steakhouse for 6 €”. Any day we spent …

The Varadero
Right on the harbor, to the right of the ferry ticket office. Newly remodeled air remains the same soulless. Too big, too lonely. Perhaps the food is like in other places, but the company does. And no one likes to eat alone …

Sunflower Restaurant, Avenida Virgen del Mar 

They are good people but most have the best place on the island. Terrace slightly raised, with perfect views and where the wind blows. If you want to go reserve a table in front, because it is the best they have. Not to say that the food is not good, which it is, but do not expect great fanfare. So don’t ask for a paella (here in the restaurant or anywhere in La Graciosa!). If you are too lazy to think, ask a barbecue but not for two but for one. In the letter they say that it is mandatory for two, but is neither mandatory nor is it for two. From there they could eat three, four or more. Insist that only want a taste, I will bring it for one, will pay two and only eat half (15 € instead of 30).

The grill will have some fish, fried something back. Some limpets, mussels and the like. Although it is best you to ask what they have cool and ask the country and half portion of what you fancy (I will then dishes between 2 and 4 €). They usually have sardines, fried longorones, etc.. And some fish of the day but for one that is more than enough. According fishing but cost more or less will be between 11 and 16 €. Just ask at the back, the typical way of cooking fish in the Canary Islands (grilled), and comes with a pair of wrinkled potatoes and a little salad. Typical Canarian fish, the best of street is sama bocinegro and then. If you offer cherne or old, you yourselves but for us best left for another day …

The Pension and Restaurant Girasol is in the little walk-port Virgen del Mar Avenue, past the bakery and before reaching El Veril.

The Hamburger (Los Nietos) and Sandwiches (Rosa’s Net Ciber Café) of La Graciosa

Well near the pizzeria, going to the village to the left, following a sign that you will see out there. First is the Hamburgers and on the sidewalk above the Sandwiches. Send eggs which are placed next to each other …

First hamburger. More consistent and recognized flavors. To connect to the internet and to see fúbtol matches the second. They have free wifi (though they also Gather from Hamburgers …), computer for 2 € the half hour and put a TV screen outside when no game. If you are hungry ask the fries, period, no inventions like the proponents. Chuparéis you are home and fingers.

When you come to La Graciosa for a week, what you expect is that the best restaurant on the island is one of silverfish, by the sea, with a terrace from which to watch the sunset.

Not really. there are restaurants like that. More or less … But we wouldn’t give them a michelin star. Although neither would win the pizzeria, when one has traveled several times every restaurant on the island (not very hard …) and asked “your wishes for the holidays last supper?”, Is clear: one Pata pizza (or kanibal also leg with bacon and mushrooms).

Mass homemade cheese from here and three huge and fantastic round tables planted in the sand, facing the harbor. A couple of tropical waiting to take it easy, that you’ll need. And enjoy. If you are lucky and Caribbean music has an edge, you will have the feeling of being in San Pedro in Belize or some island in the middle of the sea.

7-11 € Since pizza is a gift. Across the walk from the port, Avenida Virgen del Mar, you can not miss. You will see a large painted wall “Pizza”.

Buy you a backpack-fridge

mochila nevera

The best recommendation to go to La Graciosa is buy a backpack fridge in Decathlon. Put every night in the freezer one or two large water bottles, and so will make the “ice” during the day. Forget the typical blue plastic plates. It’s too heavy, only last a couple of hours and then you can not get the drink as if about water bottles.

Do not let either of bringing you a couple of tupperware to take you salad, fruit or whatever you want to the beach. Here, thankfully, the beach bars or beach kiosk is science fiction, so all drinks and food has to come from home!

For breakfast are famous the chocolat pastries from the bakery because they have chocolate from start to finish. But if you want to watch your weight, their whole grain croissants ara addictive!. Also great with cereal wholemeal bread, black bread black not passed from dark brown.

The bakery’s find trouble in little walk through the port. Open from 8 am until 21.00 h. If you come just for the day or have no desire to cook to eat, here you can always buy you snacks of all kinds … while having.

San Sebastian has beautiful museums, informational and entertaining

San Sebastian´s museums have a lot of variety and many of them simply cannot be left out of any tourist´s “What-to-see-in-San-Sebastian” guides. Some of such museums that www.sansebastian.co.uk travel guide recommends are:

Eureka Museum of Science

Eureka is a formidable place for tourists from all ages to get a pleasant and more real approach to science. Kids can get to actually see with their own eyes what they are studying at school and science books.

This museum is interactive, which makes learning even easier while having lots of fun, despite if you are a kid or a grown-up.

San Telmo Museum

At the end of the 19th century, San Sebastian held numerous expositions which captivated the audience over and over again. The whole event was considered a huge an utter success, and so the idea of building the San Telmo Museum was born. Everything was set to go, except from enough money to build a competitive museum. Amazingly, it was San Sebastian´s own people who started to donate several objects worthy of being exhibited in the museum. Finally in October 1902, the museum was officially inaugurated.

San Sebastian´s magnificent Aquarium

Simply the oldest museum dedicated to natural science in the whole Spanish country. Ever since its foundation, this incredible aquarium has served as a beacon of information and recreation as it has always been a personal mission to create conscience about the preservation of wildlife and ecosystems.

Nearly 12 million people have enjoyed one of the best attractions ever, which is a 1 million 8 hundred thousand liters tank full of submarine species, including sharks. What makes this huge tank so special is the fact that it is cut in the middle and a tunnel was built to run all through the tank. As the tunnel is transparent, all the fish can be watched swimming above us.

You may have heard of Ferran Adrià, Spain’s most famous celebrity chef who has been accumulating so much kudos in the last number of years that the French became worried that Spain was stealing their culinary limelight. Ferran Adrià became famous for molecular gastronomy, the products of which he sold at his now shutdown restaurant, El Bulli. Just after closing due to the cost of keeping up such intricate chemistry-based cooking, Ferran and his brother Albert Adrià ,set up the modern tapas bar Tickets in the Eixample neighbourhood.  Albert Adrià, now head chef, offers a 33 course tasting menu of traditional tapas with a modern twist. The interior is designed in a playful, carnival type style featuring ice-cream carts and candy floss machines. This is a great place for a taste of some unpretentious haute cuisine with a traditional Catalan twist.

Tickets

Can Mano is a typical Barcelona style tapas bar that has been a long time favourite with locals for years and now draws in large crowds at peak times, particularly for lunch. If you arrive there at lunch time or at the later 8pm opening you could be waiting up to half an hour for a table. However, it is well worth the wait for some of the freshest and most authentic Catalan tapas in Barcelona. You can wait outside with a drink in hand and soak up the atmosphere and your name will be called when a table becomes available. The bar’s specialty is sea food freshly caught by local fisherman and you can eat really well here for very cheap.

O’Toxo Tres Hermanos is another highly popular tapas bar with a similar local feel but perhaps a little more up market, but only a little! It is still very reasonably priced and serves really good quality tapas. It’s a great place for big groups as well as couples, but can be quite loud and lively if you’re looking for intimacy. It’s located right in the heart of the Raval neighbourhood and like Can Mano, be prepared for a wait if arrive there at peak time. However, there is a bar inside where you can have a drink and wait and it shouldn’t be more than half an hour. The staff are super friendly and efficient as well.

Restaurante Puerto Plata: No matter where in the country you go, holidays in Spain will inevitably feature a large amount of tapas eating. If one night you get tapas overloud and fancy something a bit different to traditional Catalan then you could try Puerto Plata just off Via Laietana near the Jaume 1 metro stop. It’s a little hidden away Dominican-run food restaurant serving the best Caribbean/Dominican fusion food in Barcelona. The atmosphere here is always great, with random salsa dancing and impromptu drag acts performed by the restaurant owner. They cater for big groups too, in this way you can pay a fixed price per head to get plate after plate of delicious Caribbean dishes and glasses of various types of Caribbean rum.

The best place to dine in La Graciosa is on your own terrace. The restaurants are not bad, but the truth, for what is, better the comfort of being in your own home, with your glass of wine and dinner at your leisure. So, if you go more than a day, when thou shalt not lack seek to sleep until you find an apartment with terrace. And do not worry about the view, certainly have. Everywhere you look here for there are always sea.

To purchase, but here year to year things can change, you have two supermarkets, a butcher, a fishmonger, a greengrocer and bakery. The best supermarket (open from 8.00 to 21.00, every day) is the DOE, in Church Street (c / Garcia Escámez) twenty feet beyond its only competitor, the super Margarona (less range, more left ). The carnage you have it in the direction parallel street “channel” (sea passage between Lanzarote and La Graciosa). Cheap, good and super nice the owner. Watch the fish because the only time tomorrow (8 to 13:00). It’s down the little walk from the port (Avenida Virgen del Mar), past the taxi stand on the street that is on the left. There, before reaching the House Chano right you will see a couple of doors storage. The right curtain of chains is the fish. Do not expect a large assortment because here’s what they catch. Best when bocinegro, that something is the most expensive of all fish (10.50 € / kg). Sometimes they have donkey (black fish and a little more palatable to 7 € / kg) and some other local fish. The rest, squid and company, all frozen but not hide. Well, actually yes because they have it in the back but make it clear if it comes from Africa or wherever.

In any case, the most difficult is to find wine from Lanzarote. Bermejo, Princess Yaiza, Stratus, or any of these are volcanic malvasías death (careful, always ask to dry or semi-dry and fruity with a point but flee or semisweet candy!). Neither the port souvenir shop, or in any of the two supermarkets usually have. So if you are lucky to keep an eye on any of them, bring you bottles for the whole week! Our last great discovery was the mantle of volcanic Malvasi, the winery La Geria, a little more than 8 € the bottle in the Super Series.

Although for fruit and vegetables have the grocery next to the restaurant Henrietta, if you are going to the Super Series will do you need to go through here. It’s the same at the same price.

La Tana, walk the harbor in Cabo de Palos

Caldron, at least two persons € 12.50 per person

“From sea grouper, and Mosqui the cauldron”.What a great advertising claim! Too bad the Mosqui not in front row with ocean views. So if you want to assail the best pot in Cartagena and surroundings, not what you think: go to Tana.

Like the Mosqui, the Tana is in the port of Cabo de Palos, at the beginning of the Manga and half hour drive from Cartagena. If you go early, you can take a walk. Head north to reach the lighthouse, south to pass in front of the houses of the harbor and dream of owning one.

The cauldron is the version of the paella here. Much stronger flavor, sweet and served is a kind of cauldron, taken with aioli (garlic is the local name) to lower it a bit. And while they serve with fish and boiled rice broth itself. Not that I have much flavor but the “meat” is juicy and goes well with rice. For snacks you can take the mussels first (half dozen € 4) which are large and tasty, or any typical fried fish.

All this accompanied by a chilled white wine, terrace with sea views and a sunny day, a little more than normal in Cabo de Palos, you will be in heaven.
