seating in season. The three-course menú del diá (daily set menu) is a popular choice, while
the luscious fish dishes will set you back the same amount on their own.

Mesón el Cortijo €

Offline map Google  map (14 Calle   Cervantes;  tapas   from    €1.50;   lunch  &   dinner, closed  Sun)    A

classic neighbourhood gathering place heavy on tapas, cerveza (beer) and friendliness. Catch
up on football, gossip and practise your Español.

La Marina €€

Offline map Google  map (    956    51  40  07; 1   Alférez Bayton;  lunch  &   dinner, closed  Sun,

closed Feb) This old favourite was closed for renovations at the time of research. No doubt it
will continue to specialise in fish dishes, and do a great-value three-course set menu of the
chicken/fish and chips variety.

Gran Muralla €

Offline map Google  map (Plaza  de  la  Constitution;   mains   from    €5;  lunch  &   dinner) If  you’ve  had

enough local food, you’ll find hearty portions of Chinese standards here. Window tables have
views over the plaza and out to sea.

Café Central €

(3 Calle Millán Astray; 3.30pm-4am) Conviviality reigns in this sophisticated bar-coffee
lounge, with subdued music and an art-deco entrance. The bronze statue of an arm lifting a
tankard over the bar – a working beer pull – is an eccentric touch. An excellent place for coffee,
brandy or ice cream (or all three) at any time.

La Jota €

Offline map Google  map (6  Calle   Méndez  Nuñez;  breakfast   €2, ice creams  from    €2) Offers  a

delightful array of cakes and ice cream in a variety of flavours. A good place to start – or end –
a day of exploring the city.

El Puente Cafeteria €

Offline map Google  map (Plaza  de  la  Constitution;   sandwiches  from    €3.50)  Opening out onto    a

plaza made for people-watching, El Puente is a trendy and modern cafe-bar with great
sandwiches. It gets busy, so work hard to catch the eyes of the staff.

Dublin €

Offline map Google map (Delgado Serrano; pints €3.50; 3.30pm-3am Mon-Sat) It’s like every
other Irish pub you’ve ever been in, but if you need that Guinness fix, this is the place, even if
the ambrosial brew does taste a bit watery here. If the volume gets to you, you can escape to
the tables outside. Go down the steps where Calle Delgado Serrano takes a 90-degree bend.

SELF-CATERING

The Supersol supermarket (Av Muelle Cañonero Dato) is the best place to stock up on
