www.inmocostablanca.com . Calpe's original and very popular seafood restaurants beside the port serving the complete range of fish and seafood dishes. The traditional mid day choice is of course Paella, that can be Mixta with seafood, chicken and peppers etc. or Marinera with just seafood. Either way it's a delicious dish to enjoy with a jug of local Valencia, Calpe, Alicante, Altean wine. Popular alternatives are Calamares (octopus) either "A la Romana" (rings fried in batter) or in a garlic sauce, or straight forward fried Sardinas with bread, olive oil and an "Ensalada Valenciana".
The restaurants serve fish straight from the boats and offer free Sangria to passers by. The fish and seafood dishes on offer are presented in iced street front cabinets showing the price of each, and you are invited to order right there while you drink your sangria. The area is packed in summer with Calpe residents and visitors from throughout the Costa Blanca.
When these restaurants first opened they were great, now it's just a tourist trap; having lived here for many years. Just a small correction calamares is squid and not octopus. Chapitos are very popular and yummy.
