Chiringuito El Tesorillo sits on the sand of the small El Tesorillo cove, at the Velilla end of Almuñécar on Granada's Costa Tropical. Tables are placed almost at the water's edge, looking out over the cove, the neighbouring beaches and the old stone watchtower above.

Rice is at the heart of the menu, with paellas including a vegetable version with asparagus and broad beans. Crisp octopus with hollandaise, fresh fish and a range of non-fish options round out the menu, and there are pizzas and pasta too. Sunbeds are available on the beach in season.

Live entertainment is a regular fixture in the evenings, while the mood stays relaxed and family-friendly throughout.
