Spanish
Restaurants
Depending upon your choice of restaurant, you can eat
out expensively or cheaply. One thing to look for is
the “Menu Del Dia”. This is a three course
meal plus wine at a set price (usually between 8-18
Euros) but to “a la carte” standard, so
it is well worth enquiring into. Due to the diverse
cultural mix to be found throughout the coast, the best
of European, Middle Eastern and African cuisine is readily
available at affordable prices.
Many restaurants along the coast appear in The Michelin
Guide (for more information, browse the official website
at www.viamichelin.com).
Historically, when you ordered an alcoholic drink in
a bar in Spain you were, as a courtesy, offered free
Tapas. This lovely custom has now largely died out;
Tapas bars are big business these days (but are still
reasonable value for money). Costa Almeria is an exception
in that many bars there still offer free Tapas to customers.
Spanish bars are perfect for a quick snack or for a
full meal, the general rule of thumb applies to eat
where the Spanish eat, then you will be assured of both
quality and value for money.
