Feria Gastronómica
by Nicola Westby •
Well it came and was fantastic. On the 11, 12th and 13th of June in Majuelo Park in Almuñécar, the Gastronomic Fair took place. I took a little wander down with my family and some friends to spend a warm Saturday afternoon passing a few hours sampling some of the very best dishes, the local…
Windsurf La Herradura
by David Darby •
Stopping off at Windsurf La Herradura and pretending I’m still all sporty and fit is always a treat, and on a recent visit I was lucky enough to have a nice long chat with Louis Schraven, who has run the business since 1979.
Almuñécar July Agenda
by Editor •
The Town Hall sent us the Almuñécar cultural agenda for July… on the 1st of July, cleverly making it absolutely impossible to include the information in the hard-copy edition of the Seaside Gazette. *Sigh!*
Ventura Flamenco
by David Darby •
Quite a few people have mentioned to me just how much they have enjoyed the Flamenco evenings at La Ventura in Almuñécar.
Well now, it’s going to be bigger and better! With the patio to the rear of the premises having had a stage installed, there will now be live Flamenco music and dance every Thursday and Sunday from 20.30h.
Father’s Day Laureles
by David Darby •
Sunday June 20th is Father’s Day, and to celebrate, Mark is creating a five course menu for just €15!
So don’t let the old fella down by missing out this year, book early and make this Father’s Day a special one for the dad in your life.
You can also catch the Los Laureles team at the Feria Gastronomica where you can sample some of the fantastic dishes available in this special Almuñécar restaurant. They will be at their stall daily on 11th, 12th and 13th June.
La Herradura English Library
by David Darby •
There are now over 900 titles fully catalogued on the library’s computer that contains all the English language titles from every library in Andalusia. Even if you can’t find the title you want, the computer can be checked, and if it is held at another site, they will despatch it to La Herradura free of charge. What an excellent service!
Great Gallinero
by David Darby •
Driving out of La Herradura on the N-340 towards Cerro Gordo, I realised I hadn’t been for a meal in the fantastic Gallinero for quite a few months! A colleague of mine has been recently and took her family along, reporting back the food was as good as ever, with chicken dishes to suit every taste.
Zarcillo
by David Darby •
All you lovers of good food and fine wines are in for a special treat with this place. Situated on the Paseo de la Esplanada in Motril, Álvaro and Manuel have managed to marry tradition and modernity to create a spectacular restaurant.
Los Laureles Spring
by David Darby •
Well, the clocks have gone forward, so it must be officially Spring at last, and as we dare to put all thoughts of that rain behind us, we can now look forward to the fantastic new Spring Menu at Los Laureles.
