Between Dénia and La Xara, in the vicinity of Xàbia and Jesús Pobre, you’ll find El Carreter. This special corner pays tribute to local history, where farmers used to stop to take a break and enjoy a good moment without getting off their carts or donkeys.
Today, El Carreter is a space designed to relive those rituals in a unique setting. With a focus on local, fresh, and high-quality produce, this restaurant combines the essence of the Mediterranean with the creativity of modern cuisine.
The Origin of El Carreter: A Story that Takes Us Back in Time
The history of El Carreter takes us back to bygone summer days filled with rituals and the harvesting of raisins, grapes dried in the sun that, during the 19th century, found their way to tables around the world with their unparalleled sweetness.
In those days, children played among the reeds while the grape harvest took place, and farmers transported their crops from the fields to the riurau. Passing by Venta del Posa, El Carreter would come along.
