Perched right on Santa Pola's marina, Restaurante Miramar delivers exactly what you'd hope for from a Spanish coastal dining spot. The terrace offers unobstructed views of bobbing yachts and the Mediterranean beyond, making it perfect for long, lazy lunches or romantic dinners as the sun sets. The menu focuses on fresh seafood and traditional rice dishes, with their paella being a particular standout. Service strikes that perfect Spanish balance of attentive but unhurried. The crowd is a pleasant mix of locals celebrating special occasions and visitors who've discovered this gem. While prices reflect the prime location, the portions are generous and the quality consistently good. Book ahead for weekend evenings when the terrace fills up quickly. It's the kind of place that reminds you why you moved to the Costa Blanca in the first place.
