Costa Calma: How to eat like a local
Visitors should get used to the local mealtimes. The lunch menu is served between 2 pm and 4 pm; the ‚menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 14 euros for a three-course meal with a drink and offers the best value for money of the entire trip. Restaurants open for dinner no earlier than 9 pm. Traditional local restaurants are at their busiest at lunchtime, often with menus featuring exclusively Spanish dishes. During the peak season around Christmas or Easter, it’s advisable to book in advance. In smaller establishments, it’s best to pay in cash.
