Costa Brava



Have you ever walked into a place and felt like you were entering another world, or at least another country? Well, last night Terry and I went to Spain for a couple of hours to enjoy tapas and a little 'us' time.

Costa Brava is a hidden little gem in Pacific Beach. The outside of the restaurant is covered in climbing ivy which acts as a natural barrier to the street just outside the door. When you pass through the gate and go up the steps you are automatically transported into the heart of Spain. The wait staff greets you with a smile and their authentic Castilian lisps which only add to the relaxed ambiance.

The food at Costa Brava is amazing! We ordered lamb skewers, olives with anchovies, sardines, escargot, tuna wrapped in pastry, mushrooms in wine sauce, and lovely little dates wrapped in bacon. It seems impossible that such small portions could pack in so much flavor and satisfy so completely, but they did. I am sure that we will go back again and again.

Amé el alimento y la atmósfera. Estaré detrás otra vez.
