Parrilla Changes
by David Darby •
The Ed, myself and Kroyi (Georg’s widow), all popped into La Parrilla in La Herradura towards the end of September. The place was packed to the gunnels with people enjoying a wonderful array of tapas in the newly revamped Gastrobar area. Ramon, tells us he is keeping the restaurant as usual, but has taken some…

Falafel
by David Darby •
Nowhere else will you find such a complete Arabic menu, with cus cus, falafel, taboule and even Arabic veggie dishes. If the fancy takes you, you could even partake of a delicious mint tea! Or even try a homemade Arabic desert.
Chiringuito La Bahía
by David Darby •
For 21 years this fantastic Chiringuito has been feeding locals and holidaymakers alike. With superb fish and meat dishes including their famous Kebabs of Sardines, it is quite obvious that they have not taken their foot off the pedal in all that time.

If you stay in the area is during the last week of August, you are very lucky people… because although the world’s premiere chicken restaurant El Gallinero, is closed for the first three weeks of the month for holidays, it re-opens on 25th August!
