Ventura on Hols

El Restaurante Ventura will be on a deserved break from the 15th to the 21st of the month, meaning that they will be open again for business on that Saturday.

Hideaway Update

Have you been watching the X Factor? Well now you can be part of the fun. Just stop by The Hideaway in La Herradura where they show the program every weekend, and you can enter their X Factor drawer.

Delfin Do!

Delfin Books in Almuñécar will be holding their annual Christmas Evening on Friday 27th November from around 6pm.

De Tropen

Visiting the De Tropen showroom yesterday made me seriously wish I owned my own home here so I could decorate it with their furniture pieces. Their selection of indoor and outdoor furniture is absolutely beautiful and with a large collection to choose from.

Hubara Vets

I popped into to see Susi at her veterinary clinic in Salobreña, which is not far away from the Tourism Information Office. Susi Mesa, who is originally from Las Islas Canarias, met her husband, Javier when they were both studying to be veterinary surgeons in Córdoba. As he is from Salobreña, they decided to set up shop there.

Carrington Builds

Had a quick chat with Bob Coates from Carrington Builders and Decorators and asked if there was anything he wanted me to impart to our readers… and to be honest neither he nor I could think of much more to say about this brilliant team of highly skilled builders and decorators. Let’s face it, how can you improve on a formula and work ethic that has been good for over 30 years in the UK and six years here!

Meson Magic

The Meson in the town hall square in Almuñécar is just great. If you haven’t tried one of their brochetas, you haven’t lived! I didn’t realise that they even made metal spikes that long, except for fighting, and that you could fit so much tasty food onto just one! Don’t go thinking I’m talking about a simple pinchito here.

Los Laureles Festivities

Mark has kindly given me the menus for Christmas and New Year at the fabulous Los Laureles. So pin your reading ears back, take note, and book early or be disappointed:
Christmas 2009 Menu – €25

Andrés Segovia

Although briefly mentioned in the La Herradura section, we feel the 25th anniversary of the Andrés Segovia Classical Guitar Competition at the Centro Civico in La Herradura is definitely worth a mention
