El Muelle, Mediterranean restaurant and pizzeria in Torrevieja, Spain.
El Muelle is a restaurant and pizzeria in Torrevieja, a coastal town on the Mediterranean in southeastern Spain, with seating both inside and on an outdoor terrace. The menu covers handmade pizzas alongside Mediterranean dishes such as grilled fish and seafood.
The place started as a small pizzeria in Torrevieja and gradually added Mediterranean dishes to its menu over the years. Italian cooking remained at the center of its identity throughout that change.
El Muelle is known locally as a place where residents and tourists sit side by side, often at outdoor tables facing the sea breeze. The menu reflects the coastal town's habit of mixing Spanish and Italian food traditions without choosing one over the other.
The restaurant opens in the early afternoon and stays open into the late evening, so it suits both lunch and dinner visits. Booking ahead is a good idea during the summer months, when tables on the terrace fill up quickly.
The pizzas are baked in a wood-fired oven that gives the crust a slightly smoky edge you notice immediately. That oven is not a modern appliance but a traditional model that is loaded and lit by hand each day before service.
