Carrington Builds

Had a quick chat with Bob Coates from Carrington Builders and Decorators and asked if there was anything he wanted me to impart to our readers… and to be honest neither he nor I could think of much more to say about this brilliant team of highly skilled builders and decorators. Let’s face it, how can you improve on a formula and work ethic that has been good for over 30 years in the UK and six years here!

Meson Magic

The Meson in the town hall square in Almuñécar is just great. If you haven’t tried one of their brochetas, you haven’t lived! I didn’t realise that they even made metal spikes that long, except for fighting, and that you could fit so much tasty food onto just one! Don’t go thinking I’m talking about a simple pinchito here.

Los Laureles Festivities

Mark has kindly given me the menus for Christmas and New Year at the fabulous Los Laureles. So pin your reading ears back, take note, and book early or be disappointed:
Christmas 2009 Menu – €25

Andrés Segovia

Although briefly mentioned in the La Herradura section, we feel the 25th anniversary of the Andrés Segovia Classical Guitar Competition at the Centro Civico in La Herradura is definitely worth a mention

Indigo Interiors

Why should you pop into Indigo Interiors in La Herradura at the earliest opportunity? Simple, to pick up some Sandtex Masonary paint to give the outside of the old homestead a damned good seeing to!

Casa Técnica

The rather nice people at Casa Técnica in Salobreña have asked me to give a mention to their automatic pool covers. How could I refuse?
Not that interesting you may think, but if you do own a pool, this can be a very sound investment.

Falafel

This corner cafeteria, tucked away down a street opposite the Supersol supermarket, offers something very different; oriental pastries, cakes and sweetmeats.

Órgiva Properties

Well, I have to say that the minute that I stepped into Órgiva Properties, a welcoming smile from the staff caught me up in the spirit of this friendly local agency.

Camac in Órgiva

Who in the Alpujarra or the coast hasn’t heard about Camac Shop in Orgiva? Even myself used to come to spend the weekend around away from the coast in the search of fresh air and I used to do my shopping there to bring home my favourite English products.
