ARCHIVED - Restaurante Zoco del Mar for fine dining and spectacular views in Águilas

Fabulous views and fine dining at Zoco del Mar

There are many attractions for visitors to the coastal resort of Águilas in the south-west of the Region of Murcia and alongside amid the beaches, monuments, spectacular countryside and wide range of social and cultural events the perfect place to enjoy the gastronomic heritage of this centuries-old fishing port is the Zoco del Mar, perched high above the town at the foot of the castle of San Juan de las Águilas.

Zoco del Mar offers a quality dining experience and the Á la carte menu comprises a carefully selected menu of dishes which focus on quality, attractive presentation and the use of ingredients selected to ensure the best dining experience for those who enjoy quality food.

Local produce is very important and the dishes chosen reflect not only the cuisine of Spain but also incorporate external influences.

The Á la Carte is available at lunchtime and in the evening daily.

At lunchtime the restaurant also serves a lunchtime menu priced at 15 euros, which includes appetizer, first and second courses with a selection of dishes, dessert, coffee and water.

In terms of location the restaurant is ideally located for those visiting the historic 16^th-century fortress which was built in the 16^th century to protect the coastline against raiders from north Africa, and in fact the bottom of the panoramic lift taking sightseers up to the castle is no more than a few metres away. In addition, those with restaurant bookings can save themselves a drive up to the castle by taking advantage of the free bus services operated by Zoco del Mar from the Plaza de España in the centre of town.

In addition, for groups of 20-plus people a special package is made available at only 25-euros per head, consisting of a 1-hour boat trip along the coastline on board the Don Pancho tourist boat, a visit to the castle and of course a set lunch in the Zoco del Mar – there cannot be many better ways to enjoy a trip to Águilas!

Special events, parties and even weddings are also catered for, as this location is not only an ideal reception venue but can also host wedding ceremonies themselves, along with other emblematic locations in Águilas including the Cuatro Calas semi-wild beaches and the deck of the Don Pancho tourist boat – contact the restaurant for more information about not only weddings, but other special events or group bookings.
