Ayolanda Almuñecar — Restaurant in Almuñécar

Hey folks, just sharing our experience for other tourists: We’ve been walking past your restaurant for a month, thinking we’d finally treat ourselves to a nice meal and enjoy it. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t meet expectations. Two tiny shrimp dishes for 50 euros? We told the waiter we didn’t enjoy the food, yet we were still charged the full price.
