Description
This is the one bar that was once filled with drunken fishermen telling stories of the huge white whale "Mobius Dick" passing by during their night fishing trips a century ago. And still, they linger there half naked repairing their boats and offering wisdom to anyone willing to pay them a Poncha de Pescador (Fisherman Poncha). You don't have to if you don't like it but their presence at the entrance gives this place a truly authentic feel.
We recommend self-service at the bar if it’s crowded. The Poncha is quite good, and the snacks are not bad either. The most important aspect of this place is its location and the panoramic view of the ocean. Don’t miss exploring the beach to the end and check the view of the beach cliffs.
And don't forget to pay the fisherman a tribute wearth of Poncha.
