Traditional Spanish food, nicely placed just by the beach - the view is great! Nice outdoor area. Service is kind, food is good - and the dishes looks very nice on the plate, the kitchen makes an effort to present the dishes nicely too! Probably the best patatas bravas in Santa Pola.

Bronze Age, Iberian, and Roman artifacts have been found on the slopes of the mountain, but the origins of the castle date to the 9th century at the time of Muslim control of the Iberian Peninsula, from 711 till 1296. The Arab medieval geographer Al-Idrisi calls this mountain Banu-lQatil, and the toponym may derive from the words pinna (Arabic for "peak") and laqanti, adjectival form of Laqant, the Arabic name for Alicante.
