La Gloria claims itself as a gastro bar and had a relatively interesting collection of international-inspired tapas providing a refreshing change to frito. We tried the red de pescadores (fisherman's net) filled with prawns and scallops in leek sauce, mango chicken with aromatic rice and Almadraba tuna cooked in soya sauce - a must-try in Conil, as the beast is fished in its port.

Los Hermanos was commended by at least two people for its excellent pescaito frito (fried fish). Affordable (€1.50 a tapa, €6 for a 1/2 ration) and clearly popular (it was full to the rafters each time we passed by), meaning that it is advisable to arrive slightly before 'normal' Spanish eating hours (i.e. 1.30pm at lunchtime and 9pm for dinner).

A great restaurant, not (quite) in the tourist trap of the old quarter. I had been recommended to eat here by my Couch Surfer host. I lingered outside thinking that it was a little too quiet of an afternoon. I even foolishly perched myself on a chair outside, when I saw a lady enter in. I followed and found the restaurant full of chattering clientele. Having accustomed myself to always eating with friends, it was strange to be a sole diner. I got by ordering in Spanish - I opted for fregola sarda a large bowl of specks of pasta with squid, cherry tomatoes, courgette and garlic. That was just a primi plato, I really can't imagine how on earth I would manage antipasti or a segundi!! The cost for the dish, 1/4 of wine and a big bottle of water was €18.

An ingenious name for a granita bar. I had tested the Spanish variety, granizado, and was disappointed. When invited to try it in Alghero, I was dubious at first recalling an unquenched thirst and plastic-like flavour. There are places that serve up syrup-topped ice in Alghero, but this bar in particular prides itself on using fresh ingredients, which is clear in the flavour of these frosty treats. Affordable and refreshing in the heat of the summer.

For a lighter meal (on the pocket too) this establishment serves up foccacia - large sandwiches. I think I would have been a bit daunted to enter alone, as it was packed to the rafters. You had to make your order first and then queue to collect it. For just 2.50 you can bag a large square with a variety of fillings, but the Milese house special was sliced fresh tomatoes, a layer of tuna, some hard-boiled eggs chopped into pieces, a few anchovies, a layer of rocket salad, a layer of thinly sliced onions and, last but by no means least, a layer of pancetta. All of these layers are seasoned with a special sauce created by Signora Maria, which is top secret!
