5 This is a great stopping point for a trip back from the beach to Madrid. We always try to stop here on our way back from Alicante for their delicious pepitos (steak and ham sandwiches). The service is fast and friendly and the food never disappoints. They also recently remodeled to provide a bit more seating space.
