El Cortijo de Ramiro
Must try

About
Dinner-only restaurant with a terrace among bougainvillea, linen tablecloths and soft live music, near the beach. The owner's wife does the cooking.
Good to know
Dinner only: book by phone (it is not on OpenTable). It works mostly with a set menu with wine pairing and there is little à la carte: if you prefer to order à la carte, ask when booking. Mains at €40-44 and a bill of €31 to €50 per person without wine (OpenTable, 2025-2026). Ask about the off-menu dishes.
Getting there and parking
In the Guadalmina Baja development (Calle 11), between San Pedro and Guadalmina beach. It has no car park of its own: you can park for free on the streets of the development.
