Anyone looking for the best bars in San Sebastián de La Gomera won’t end up in over-the-top tourist spots. At Bar Zumeria Puntallana on Calle de Prof. Armas Fernández, ferry workers rub shoulders with hikers. The Cofradía de Pescadores at the Muelle de Vueltas has 778 reviews and serves fresh fish right on the quay. The harbour town is small, but it gets lively from late in the evening onwards.
Bars in San Sebastián: What you need to know
The ‚menú del día‘ is served at lunchtime between 2 pm and 4 pm – a three-course meal with a drink for between 10 and 14 euros, often better value than the evening menu. The locals‘ favourite spots only really get going from 9 pm onwards, such as El Asador de Lara on Calle de Ruiz de Padrón, which boasts a 4.7-star rating. In the smaller bars, cash goes further than a card. Menus are often displayed in Spanish only. Palm honey, made from the sap of the date palm from the Canary Islands, costs less at the source than elsewhere.
Tips for your visit
Around the Columbus Fountain, there is a cluster of smaller establishments that serve palm honey as an ingredient in digestifs. Pizzería La Botellita at 12 Calle Real has received the most reviews in the bar scene, with 302. In the evenings, fishing boats bob in the harbour basin whilst the tables along the waterfront promenade fill up.
Three cafés are squeezed in amongst the bars; in the mornings, barraquito is served over the bar there. The town’s 27 restaurants range from seafood eateries on the quayside to establishments in the narrow streets around the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Music drifts out from the open doors of the historic centre until late into the night.
