Casa Zinc

Eating

Breakfast (served 'til an incredibly civilised 4pm!) is a hearty spread of yogurts and cereals, orange juice, fresh fruits, ham and cheeses, corazanes dulces (sweet croissants) and eggs if you want.

There’s no restaurant at Casa Zinc, but they offer a tasty homemade snack which changes daily. Expect something light, along the lines of a vegetable quiche with a rucula salad. For something more substantial, head down the road to the delightful El Chanco y La Coneja. By night, pretty fairy-lights illuminate the leafy outside terrace of this cosy restaurant, which serves up good-value tacos and the most wonderful fish dishes. Leave room for dessert, as temptation will surely strike when browsing the long list of sweet treats. For other dining options, from sushi to American-style burgers, head to La Barra’s main strip, a 5-minute drive away. Café Flo is a particularly popular restaurant, serving up exotic salads, pastas and fresh fish to a classy, 30-something crowd.

Or, with a little advance warning, foodies can take over Casa Zinc’s kitchen and rustle up a home-cooked meal to eat outside on the patio under a starry sky. There are grocery shops close by.
