Agua
In Spanish, "agua" means water. This restaurant was so named because it is located by the Mediterranean, perched on a tower 75 meters above sea level, giving diners a view of the sea. This view can be enjoyed from indoors through extra-large windows or outdoors where it is cozy and quiet. The menu features Iberian ham, pasta dishes, light snacks and rice cooked over coals, the restaurant's specialty.
