Gran Bahia — Restaurant in Elx / Elche

I think it's a jewel among all other restaurants in Los Arenales and the fact that the place was full of Spanish people might be the proof. The restaurant has a very nice look, I appreciate the tablecloths. The terrace is amazing and very big. We went for the seafood platters, but in the menu there are many traditional Spanish options. I noticed most of the people were having different types of rice. I also think, in comparison to other places, the price were ok, the value to money ratio was...
