Bar Playa "El Boya"
About
Bar Playa "El Boya" is a centuries‑old seaside eatery perched in the picturesque Arguineguín district of Gran Canaria. Since 1952, the family‑owned establishment has evolved from a humble tavern selling wine and local staples into a celebrated seafood restaurant that attracts both locals and tourists. With an open terrace overlooking the Atlantic, the venue serves freshly caught fish, shellfish, and traditional Canarian dishes sourced from the nearby port of Mogán. The charm lies in its relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and a legacy that is woven into every dish. Guests can comfortably spend an hour or more enjoying a leisurely meal, making it an ideal stop for families, couples or solo travellers seeking authentic local flavours. The restaurant also offers take‑out, a small bar with local wines and craft beers, and features wheelchair accessibility—making it welcoming for all visitors.
