La Sardina — Restaurant in La Herradura

The bay curves in a perfect arc around the beach, and La Sardina sits right in the middle of it. A lovely beach chiringuito, but a proper one with tablecloths. Sardines on the coals, quisquillas de Motril, arroz caldoso with lobster, pimientos, migas: the classic cooking of the Costa Tropical, made with the day's catch. The regional speciality is sardines on skewers, grilled over smouldering embers. The wine list isn't remarkable as such, but it's full of fun, very affordable wines from all over Spain.
