This is a new Costa Brava space for seeing and experiencing the sea. Ultramar is a bar in L'Escala created and run by Gerard Argemí (alma mater of the iconic Mas Sorrer restaurant in Gualta), and it's a place that's basically got everything: live music performances (mainly jazz and African-American music), DJ sessions, quality food (signature tapas, classic apetisers and creative cooking using local products) and, above all, excellent drinks, including cocktails and smoothies. And we shouldn't forget the chill-out area and panoramic terrace, which is one of the best in town.
Winter is synonymous with sofas, blankets and fireplaces. Luckily, there are bars that offer (almost) all these features, meaning you don't have to turn into a complete hibernating hermit when the cold weather arrives. Below you'll find the bars where we're going to be spending chilly days. Inviting places that serve hot tea, coffee and chocolate, and cosy corners with sofas and candles that will make you feel right at home. Or even better!
