Really, it’s not that hard to find, because there couldn’t be a better landmark: the main-road bridge over the Jete road, in San Sebastian. If you walk up to the bridge from the fountain, running down the side of the embankment there is a lane to the left. Just a few metres down, there is a multi-coloured metal door – that’s where the gallery is. It’s pretty spacious and is well lit.

Tartana Summer Menu
by David Darby •
Flaming June is upon us, the sun is now a daily companion, and there could be no better place to enjoy those rays than the beautiful terraces at La Tartana.
Penny tells me they are introducing their summer menu to accompany the warmth… but don’t fret all you regulars, all the old favourites will remain and run concurrent with the new dishes.
Suki Sailing
by David Darby •
It doesn’t matter if you live in our beautiful area or even if you’re just visiting, one of the most delightful ways of seeing the coastline is by boat, and thanks to the guys at Suki Sailing, it’s doesn’t cost the earth.
Taxi!
by David Darby •
Sometimes, even us car owners need the services of a taxi. Whether we’ve broken down or have just had one or six too many, and need to get home to our bed without going via a Guardia Civil cell.
Hideaway Helping Hand
by David Darby •
I just happened to be having a very quick bacon sandwich and a cup of coffee in The Hideaway, and whilst chatting to Jenette, she mentioned that they are hosting a Charity Coffee Morning on Friday 12th June from 12.00 in aid of abandoned animals.
Calling all Local Businesses!
by David Darby •
If you would like to show your products or services to a nicely captive audience, then get in touch with the International School in Almuñécar. They are having a business open day and you can have a small stall for just €25 and a large one for €50. Then you are free to trade between 12 and 3pm.
Summer at El Faro
by David Darby •
By the time you read this, El Faro’s ‘summer menu’ will be being offered daily, along with the wonderful Traditional Sunday Roast, of course, which will continue as usual throughout the summer, but booking is strongly advised.
Clinica Del Mar Excellence
by David Darby •
Just like any other month, I popped in for a chat with Sergio at Clínica Del Mar, on C/Alhambra in La Herradura. We usually just talk about mutual local friends, his tennis skills or our mutual love of Mac computers. While we were chatting, Mónica came out to greet one of her patients with a cuddle and a kiss. It was then I said to Sergio what a relaxed atmosphere the place had for a dentist surgery. At which point he decided to enlighten me further…
El Ancla Offer
by David Darby •
Fish and chips on a Friday were always the order of the day when I was a lad. Luckily, we can have Jonathan’s spectacular fish and chips at El Ancla every day, that’s right, not just Fridays but every day!
But just to keep Fridays a bit special, the brilliant offer during June is a bottle of house red or white wine with your fish and chips! That’s right, you can have fish and chips every day, but on Fridays you get a bottle of wine to boot, absolutely free! (Probably best you book in advance).
High Horse!
by David Darby •
Don’t you just love this time of year? The weather is just great, but the influx of tourists is still a little way off and, during the week especially, the beaches, bars and walks are still relatively quiet.
So, why not take advantage of the weather and lack of crowds and get yourself astride a beautiful horse! Just give Karen a ring at The La Herradura Riding Centre, and whether you’re a beginner or an experienced horse person, you can get yourself out and about in the most beautiful of countryside to be found in our area.
