About
La Ballena Azul, inaugurated in 1972 as a family‑run venture, is a celebrated seafood restaurant on Spain’s Costa Tropical in Motril. With a prime location on the Paseo Marítimo, just a few meters from the sea, it offers a warm interior dining room and a spacious terrace overlooking the beach. Guests can savour signature dishes such as fresh fish and shellfish, traditional tapas—migas, paella, pulpo in salsa, and pescaito frito—and a selection of locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant welcomes diners all year round, featuring flexible opening hours that include both lunchtime and late‑evening service in the summer months, and an inviting ambience that makes it popular among families, couples and seafood lovers alike.
