If you enjoy eating fish, you have come to the right place! The photo shows the 'menu' of a little restaurant in Estepona. The fish will be freshly cooked for you. Personally I like a selection of mixed fried fish; some of everything they have! This will typically include calamares (squid), boquerones (fresh anchovies), merluza (hake), and perhaps pez espada (sword fish) or small leguada (sole). As this is quite substantial, I recommend a mixed salad as a starter.
Paella is eaten at lunchtime - never for dinner! It is basically saffron coloured rice cooked in fish stock with wine. Various pieces of meat, usually chicken and/or pork will be added, as well as fish chunks and shellfish, plus peas and strips of red pimento adding a splash of colour. It's a decorative dish - served with large lemon wedges. Warning! It is very filling! If there are six people in your party, a paella for four will be enough unless you have a very hearty appetites!
