It is true that Jeannot on the Paseo in La Herradura does serve some of the finest fish dishes available in the area, but what I love about the place is not just the variety of food available, but the variety of people you meet or see there.
Special Spar

Have I ever mentioned my urges? I really can’t help it, and even counselling doesn’t seem to help. It’s cream crackers, mature cheddar and Branston pickle.

Even if you can’t find the title you want, the computer can be checked, and if it is held at another site, they will despatch it to La Herradura free of charge. What an excellent service!
