Capri Guidebook
Food scene
Besides being a bar & restaurant with big drinks and great eats (plus live music on occasion) it has an associated business in the parking area, under a tarp, offering local fried food. Try the bacalaitos and the alcapurias!
Make a right when you arrive at main road (PR-693) and drive a ½ mile. You’ll see the Oassis on the left side of the road.

It says it's a trail for mountain bikes but this is mostly so on weekends. There are many trails in this park which are great for walking, runnning and exploring.
