If, like me, you enjoy finding a bit of shade during the summer, but still want to watch the world go by, do what I do and pay a visit to Café-Bar Pin-Ball, under the Paseo del Altillo in Almuñécar. With its huge terrace, with seaviews in both shade and sun.
The good news is that this isn’t just a place with a view… oh no! You can enjoy a breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice and excellent coffee, or have a drink and sample the delicious tapas available and on display at the bar, and then if you’re tempted (which you will be), you can plumb for a ration of whatever takes your fancy.
On a personal level, I would have to say that the Russian Salad, is one of the best I have ever tasted. There are loads of other homemade treats to be had, and a large selection of ice creams to go with your meal or light snack.
Pin-Ball, the ideal ‘people-watching’ spot, can be found at Mapspot 29 on Bajos de Paseo de Altillo, Almuñécar. Tel. 958 63 00 11.
