Situated in the shadow of the evocative 18th-century ermita, this place keeps it simple with a superb menu of tapas and tablas (platters) to share. Offerings range from homemade fish and chorizo croquetas to scrambled eggs with cod, Italian sweet peppers, grilled goat's-milk cheese, stuffed cuttlefish and papas arrugadas (wrinkly potatoes).
