Needing a change of scenery from downtown Almuñécar, I headed for Taramay today. I decided to visit Restaurant/Pizzaría El Tesorillo for a bite to eat.I am really excited because I think I may just have found my new ‘chill-out’ hot spot for the summer. Let me tell you why:

The location is perfect, as it is nestled on what I consider one of our nicest beaches, Playa del Tesorillo. The atmosphere there is completely relaxing and the view is spectacular. I actually felt like I was on holiday as I sat there enjoying my clara under the sun and watching the activity on the beach. The owners, Rafael and Laura, are super sweet and easy-going and made me feel right at home.

The menu has plenty of options to choose from, ranging from their menu of the day, salads, fresh fish, pasta dishes and, of course (my favorite), pizza. I can highly recommend their pizza called Picante, which I devoured today. Another obvious reason I’ll be lounging out there is the giant paella and fresh-fish skewers (espetos) they will be serving on the beach all summer.

Starting July, there will be a ‘drink’ fiesta every Fri. and Sat. evening starting from 23:30 where everyone will receive a free gift when they buy the drink of the night. You’ll find me there on Mojito Night for sure. Furthermore, I was told they have an entertaining flamenco show every Thursday that starts at 10:00 p.m. It is the perfect spot to eat, relax or have fun at this summer. Tel. 629 067 284.
