12. Restaurant La Casita
Do you know “La Casita”? In Spanish, it means “little house”. We pushed open the door of this intimate little cocoon and discovered a charming place. This restaurant is housed in a lovely 2-star hotel. Its traditional seaside architecture, with its white walls and red tiles, won us over. The blue stripes recall the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean, while the many succulents add a warm, inviting touch.
Unfortunately, the restaurant is now closed.
They have now opened an It restaurant. Different Restaurant Bar elsewhere, but we haven’t tried it yet.
