Restaurant La Paradeta
this place is a real gem of restaurants. La Paradeta is a seafood market restaurant. and it works just like at the market, though instead of you slaving over the food, it's the asian immigrants in the kitchen. the key to experiencing this place is to arrive early, earlier than you would to ANY other restaurant in Spain for dinner. you must arrive at 7:30 pm to get IN LINE at the door and be one of the first in. once you are in, stroll right up to the counter that resembles the typical market display and tell the vendor what you want. order more rather than less because you will NOT be able to order more later, unless you want to stand in line around the block. choose from monkfish, a variety of shellfish, crabs, crayfish, shrimps of various sizes, etc. get a few bottles of the house white, Turbio, and ENJOY! satisfaction guaranteed!
