Beach, music, cocktails and creative food with sea views.
For many, especially those who cannot get rid of urban asphalt these days of heatwave, it is as close to Eden as one could be.
And that is precisely the objective of
Zokarrá Playa, a gastronomic beach bar that was
born
this summer
for enjoyment and enjoyment in Zahara de los Atunes (Cádiz), one of the great summer tourist destinations.
To delve into the paradisiacal, the space, which will be open throughout the summer season, has a privileged location:
Atlanterra beach -perhaps
the best sandy area in Cádiz-, with
white sand;
clean, turquoise and blue water, and between dunes and pine trees.
The Zokarrá Playa room.
Once the coordinates of the place are known, we go to the
gastro
endorsements of the beach bar.
Behind him is the Zoko Group
, born in 2014 and with banners in the town of Zahar, such as the "always full"
Zokarrá rice restaurant;
the singular Wild
, where meat and fish passed through fire and embers are the protagonists, and
Zoko,
specialists in wild tuna from almadraba, also with offices in Madrid, a city in which they also opened
Krápula
(2019), a traditional cuisine concept -oceanic.
This new temporary banner shares the fun spirit and that irreverent point of its
older brothers
, from whom it takes a bit of everything.
But if there is something on which
his offer is underpinned, it is rice
.
Up to six different recipes (with the seal of Zokarrá, Ola, 12, Zahara de los Atunes) are served on the beach.
It has an area of high tables on the beach.
The star -and house brand-
is the tuna fish, sweet, with cuttlefish and sliced raw tuna that is finished cooking with the heat
given off by the dish.
For lovers of the classic, they serve the sailor and the black, and with a particular touch come the Iberian (with
cheeks and potato blood sausage
);
the vegetable (with payoyo cheese) and the
dried octopus, shrimp and cecina
(prices: from 16.50 to 24.50 per person, minimum two people).
In the blacksmith's house, wooden spoon?
No, because this beach bar
could not miss the tuna preparations, one of the specialties of the Zoko Group
: from the spicy red tuna tartare and the pickled mormo to the tuna with onions or
the wild tuna bonbon from almadraba, an award-winning snack
, winner of the Jury Prize for the most innovative Tapa in the VII Tuna Route (present in all the group's premises).
Dry rice with octopus, shrimp and cured meat.
In the menu there is also room for
fusion and exoticism
.
Thus, under the epigraph
Churreteo
appear elaborations in which the local joins the international;
that is, local
products with flavors from all over the world
.
Take note: Vietnamese pickled tuna nems,
wagyu cecina paper
, chicken-club sandwich, Vejer crackling croquettes with payoyo cheese caviar...
For fans of fire,
Galician-style octopus burned in a wok
on fries and matured beef burger.
Proposals available for snacks, lunch or dinner
, since the kitchen is open all day.
Tuna with onions.
And to lie down?, they will ask.
Well, its varied liquid menu proposes wines
by the glass for all tastes:
whites, reds, rosés, sparkling wines, national and international champagnes... Outstanding mention deserves the
references of the land
: manzanilla,
amontillados, olorosos, palo cortado, still wines. .. Classic and signature cocktails
and music complete the experience by the sea.
Who does not feel in paradise is because he does not want to.
