About La Mulata

Painted blue inside and out, La Mulata is where Santander goes for serious marisquería — the kind of Spanish rice and shellfish cooking that needs no embellishment. European spider crab and chlamys varia arrive as the kitchen found them, and the arroz con bogavante is the dish people forget to photograph because they're already eating it. Carpaccio and fried squid round out a menu that rewards ordering generously: portions here are the kind that make the table feel well looked after. Javier at the front of house sets the tone — attentive without theatre — and the team handles the small things, a wrong bread, a question about the menu, without fuss. Budget around a hundred euros for two and the evening earns every cent.

La Mulata is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.

In the last 90 days, La Mulata has drawn 14 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — a measure of how actively its reviewers have been writing lately.
