7 Restaurantes en San Vicente de la Barquera (Cantabria
Los días de sol -que aquí son muchos, como no se cansan de repetir los pejinos- una buena alternativa es la terraza de El Pescador, en la avenida Antonio Garelly, con vistas al Puente de la Maza, la playa El Tostadero y la espectacular ría de San Vicente de la Barquera. Aquí abrió en 1920 su restaurante el abuelo Vidal Fernández, y tras 40 de gestión de la hija Lines y el yerno Jesús, ahora es el turno de los nietos Vidal, 'Chichín' y José Ignacio Aja Fernández. "Yo soy el pequeño, y el que está al pie del cañón todos los días", confiesa este último.
The 6 Best Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating in San Vicente de la Barquera
My boy and I went to eat, from the first minute they were super friendly. I told them that I had celiac disease and they knew how to tell me everything that was gluten-free and even when they were going to prepare our order for us, they were attentive at all times to ensure that there was no confusion with trace contamination. Place with views and food of 10, highly recommended.
