Many of the city's most reasonably priced, traditional restaurants are located in and around the Plaza Juan de Dios, just in from the port and where there is a tight mass of alleyways crammed with bars and restaurants.

This famous seafood restaurant lies in the La Viña district, close to La Caleta and the walls of the San Sebastián castle. The story of Restaurante El Faro has its own name: Gonzalo Córdoba. He started life here in an inn, serving glasses of local wine together with tapas of fried or battered fish or shellfish, cuttlefish, white anchovies or the unbeatable shrimp omelettes. But he was unfulfilled, and so he began to bring back Cádiz cuisine. Prior to this the cuisine of Cádiz was unknown and only revealed in an intimate setting. Since then, Gonzalo Córdoba has dedicated himself to this regional cuisine. Today Maite follows in her father's footsteps. |
