El Campero Restaurante Barbate, Cádiz

To talk about El Campero is to talk about bluefin tuna, Almadraba tuna, Barbate, its sea… it is to talk about tradition and respect for our coasts and natural products: wild fish and seafood from the Costa de la Luz.

But also of the retinto meats and Iberian pork from the countryside of Cadiz, of the vegetables from the famous orchards of Conil de la Frontera, of the generous wines that give us the vines of Jerez, Sanlúcar or Chiclana and the sweet desserts that we have to finish.

A meal at El Campero, with more than 40 variants of bluefin tuna dishes, becomes a unique experience, difficult to detach from the palate and memories.
