Altea, Spain
Ca Joan
Ca Joan sits outside Altea on a rural stretch of the Costa Blanca, operating as one of Spain's more respected asadores away from the Basque heartland. Under chef Joan Abril, the kitchen centres on fire and quality meat, earning consecutive placements in Opinionated About Dining's Casual Europe rankings from 2023 through 2025. For visitors to the Alicante coast, it represents a serious alternative to the region's seafood-dominant dining scene.
