“ If you're looking for a non tourist trap with the real flavor to south of Spain, this is a must to visit. Incredible portions and awful taste! I wish they will be close to my home :( ”
“ Really nice place! We reserved a table late in the afternoon but they quickly picked up the phone and prepared a table for us. We ordered a paella for 4 people. They asked for allergens and food preference and cooked it while we were on our way to the restaurant. When we arrived our paella was almost ready, had fresh seafood and lots of flavour. Overall great food and friendly service! ”
