El Rey de las Gambas serves a mix of Spaniards and international out-of-towners but few locals in its location on the main strip to the beach. Maybe the fault lies with Modesto, the drunken, happy host trying to convince passersby to grab a table at the large patio terrace. One look at the parillada, an enormous platter of grilled squid, mejillones (clams), cod, seabass and, of course, gambas, and many who know of no other option take the man up on his offer.
The pulpo gallego (octopus beaten to soften it, then sliced, baked and doused in olive oil, salt and paprika) is a good choice on most nights, tender and not too heavy on the sodium. The same goes for the paella, rich with saffron, loaded with seafood and baked to perfection; it’s available for just one person, unlike in many restaurants. Despite the cheesy look of the place it serves some of the best seafood around.
