An institution.

And to enjoy locally produced fruits, opt for the mango sorbets or the fig ice cream. To take away or to taste on the spot, installed in a small colored space or on a small terrace facing the sea.

Salon Italiano" was founded in 1940, its first name, because it was opened by two Italians who had settled in Cadiz, after passing through Madrid, where they already had their first store.
