RESTAURANTE ES BOLDADO Michelin Guide During our trip to Ibiza in mid-March, we visited one of our favourite restaurants, Es Boldado. To reach it from Sant Josep to Cala d’Hort, take the last right turn toward Cala Truja. After about 3 kilometres, you will see the sign for Es Boldado on your left. Turn onto this road and drive down the dusty Camino (dirt track) for approximately 1.5 kilometres. You will be rewarded with the best view of Ibiza. If you’re seeking a restauran

CALÓ DE S'ALGA KIOSKO SIESTA The Caló de s’Alga Beach Bar in Siesta is a charming discovery. Located beneath the Grand Hotel Palladium, it’s a hidden gem for anyone staying nearby or vacationing in Santa Eulària. If you are seeking a great place to unwind, this is the perfect spot! Imagine this: a wooden shack with white plastic chairs and tables, while the lively atmosphere of Siesta buzzes behind you. In front, the breathtaking view of the Bay of Santa Eulària and the spark

KIOSKO CALA LLENYA In 2025, we were asked about the status of the chiringuito in Cala Llenya. Previous social media reports had claimed that CBBC had taken it over, but fortunately, this was not the case. Both the Ayuntamiento de Santa Eulària des Riu and CBBC confirmed that the chiringuito remains independent. As a result, the charm of this beautiful family beach on the island’s east side is preserved for this season. The chiringuito is open again, featuring a new roof! You

CHIRINGUITO CAN COLOMARET We took another trip from Sant Antoni to the beautiful beach at Cala Nova, located in the northern part of the island. There are several expensive, trendy restaurants situated along the long sandy beach. The stunning Hotel Bless, located at one end of the beach, features a one-Michelin-starred restaurant. We decided to go to the opposite end of the beach, to Chiringuito Can Colomaret. Please be aware that they only accept CASH, no credit or debit car

THE FISH SHACK @ TALAMANCA Chiringuito Sa Punta is a small fish shack on the rocks, situated at the very edge of Talamanca beach. It is hard to find, as there are no signposts or roof guiding you to it. This is one spot you don’t often read about, making it all the more special. Head for the restaurant Sa Punta in Talamanca, and when you reach it, keep going past the rocks. Soon, you will see the tangle of umbrella canopies, wooden tables and plastic chairs. A simple, typical

This was our second visit to Uvedoble Taberna in Málaga City, conveniently located near the Roman Theatre and below the Alcazaba in Málaga’s historic centre, inviting exploration and a sense of place. Despite its characterless, tourist-café look, this restaurant and bar serves interesting tapas, including several typical Málaga dishes, adding an authentic local touch. The interior is minimalist with a lively bar area. On our first visit, we had eaten elsewhere before coming h

BILBAO - PLAZA NUEVA PINTXO BAR CRAWL On a recent trip to Bilbao, we had a little pintxo bar crawl around the Plaza Nueva. The arcaded Plaza Nueva is bustling with locals from early evening onward. Take note of the local tradition of pacing yourself when enjoying a txikito, a small glass of wine or beer. In pintxos bars, it is common for patrons to throw paper napkins on the floor, while only shy tourists tend to leave them on tables or other surfaces. On weekends, the area

CHIRINGUITO SES BOQUES This rustic and authentic chiringuito is located at the end of a long, steep road descending from the little village of Es Cubells since 1974. It is nestled among pine trees and offers a complete view of a small pebble beach. To get to the restaurant, take a left turn just before you reach the Es Cubells church. After around a mile, you will see the sign for the restaurant on the left-hand side of the cliff road as you go down the hill. After a steep de

APONIENTE Three Michelin Stars A return visit to the Angel León restaurant, Aponiente, renowned for its cuisine of the sea and exclusively seafood. After relocating from its previous site in the centre of El Puerto de Santa María, the new and much more glamorous restaurant is situated just outside of town in what was once an old flour mill built in 1815. A small river or stream flows beneath the current building, and the energy it produced for the mill was used to grind

AZURMENDI Three Michelin Stars Chef Eneko Atxa Azurmendi was the youngest Spanish chef to obtain 3 Michelin stars in 2012. You will understand why when you visit this subtropical glasshouse, which overlooks the beautiful Basque countryside and is located 25 minutes from Bilbao. Azurmendi operates as a self-sustaining ecosystem focused on sustainability. It is environmentally friendly, utilises renewable energy sources, recycles all generated waste, collects rainwater, and
