IBIZA - CALA MARTINA - RESTAURANT SA TRENKA

SA TRENKA RESTAURANT

We decided to take a trip up north of the Island from Sant Antoni (San Antonio) to a beach and Restaurant we had not been to before.

We found a stunning beach, Calla Martina, and a charming, unpretentious chiringuito with a great vibe that specialised in rice dishes and seafood.

The perfect 'alternative' Ibiza to some trendy, expensive places south of the Island.

We booked a table for 2 p.m. and then walked along the beach.

On returning to Sa Trenka, we ordered a glass of Albariño with pan con alioli and olives.

We then had two portions of emperador plancha (grilled swordfish).

As we were having a relatively light lunch, we skipped desserts and settled for two glasses of café caleta

Café caleta is an Ibicencan cocktail, made from a mix of brandies, rum, fresh local citrus, cinnamon, brown sugar & coffee (each Restaurant seems to have its secret recipe).

A friendly local cat seemed to be quite partial to the swordfish!

Ten Spanish people enjoyed a considerable seafood paella at an adjacent table for someone's birthday. They added to the happy vibe with plenty of singing.

Another interesting chiringuito, Restaurant Cala Martina, is further up the beach.
