La Paradeta

Superb seafood, served refectory-style. Choose from glistening mounds of clams, mussels, squid, spider crabs and other fresh treats, decide how you'd like it cooked (grilled, steamed or a la marinera), pick a sauce (Marie Rose, spicy local romesco, all i oli or onion), buy a drink and wait for your number to be called. A great – and cheap – experience for anyone not too grand to clear their own plate.
