In Vera Pueblo itself, there’s two very very good cafes on the Plaza Mayor, both adjacent the Correos - ones a lovely very Spanish cafe, the other is a brand new speciality Turrón / Ice Cream / Cake shop - I think the cafe is called “KoKo”, but couldn’t swear to it 😂

as for restaurants … well if you like Chinese food, then of course The Wok down on the main Vera roundabout, just up from Icelands.  ALWAYS busy, great value for money.  In Vera Pueblo itself I haven’t tried many of the restaurants, but Terazza Carmona are very very good - good food...

In Vera Playa you have much much greater choice - personally I like Antos and Victors Cafe bar at Las Buganvillas but couldn’t describe them as “Spanish” … such is the case with many of the restaurants around Vera Playa - they cater to the tourists, although both Antos and Victors have good pricing.

Authentically Spanish? I’d say the better ones will be in Garrucha which despite being seaside has a much greater Spanish flavour and influence.
