El chiringuito

Built from wood, right on the sand.

“Bienvenidos a tu casa en la playa.”

La Dolce Vita began with an Italian who left everything to open a chiringuito. He travelled the Spanish coast from Barcelona to Cádiz looking for the right place, and found it here in Marbella.

Today it is a timber-built restaurant on Playa del Cable: tables on the boards and in the sand, a bar for cocktails, and sunbeds out front.
