Bar Costa

Place overview

Bar Costa sits in the heart of the village of Santa Gertrudis and has been a fixture of local life for generations. Its walls are covered floor to ceiling with paintings left behind by artists who have passed through over the decades. The menu is simple and built around cured hams sandwiches and strong coffee rather than an elaborate kitchen. Locals and visitors share the same tables which gives the bar a genuinely mixed and easy going atmosphere. Santa Gertrudis itself has become one of the island's most desirable village settings and Bar Costa remains its unofficial living room. Mornings tend to be quieter while afternoons fill up with regulars stopping by after errands in the village. For anyone spending time in Santa Gertrudis Bar Costa is less an attraction than a genuine piece of daily village life.
