Travellers who value tradition, smoky wood-fire flavours and a relaxed seafront atmosphere.
Good to know
Ask for a table near the cooking-fire area to enjoy the live show — but not too close if the day is hot.
Getting there
Paseo Andrés Segovia (Playa de La Caleta), 18697 La Herradura (Granada). At the eastern end of La Herradura beach, near the way up to Punta de la Mona. Open since 1952 (owner: Joaquín Barbero Barbero). Parking on the promenade very difficult in summer — use the public car park at the village entrance.
