San Martin Restaurant - otherwise known as "The Pig Farm"
The restaurant San Martin, commonly known as the "Pig Farm", is found up in Cabo Blanco (10-15 minutes' drive from Los Cristianos). It is in the church square, so, once in the quaint Canarian village, follow the signs for the church and you'll see it.
The "Pig Farm" is what you might call a restaurante típico, but on a grand scale. The restaurant gets its nickname because it specialises in suckling pig.
It is a brilliant place to visit if you can get together a group of 10 or more people. If that's the case, when you order the suckling pig, a whole pig is eventually wheeled out and carved up. The crackling is divine!
Another speciality is the potatoes, cooked in the oven with onions and leeks - equally delicious.
With large parties of people and copious amounts of wine flowing, things can get just a little rowdy, but the management don't mind - up to a point!
Obviously, it is also possible for, say, a couple to go there for a meal. There is enough room in the restaurant to accomodate this, well away from any large, noisy groups.
There is a full menu, too. You don't have to have the suckling pig!
The "Pig Farm" is closed Thursdays, but every other day is open from midday right through till late.
