For those of you that view the site over in North America, the UK, Germany etc and miss the full contents of the hard-copy version, we would like to hear from you.
Ventura on Hols
by Editor •
El Restaurante Ventura will be on a deserved break from the 15th to the 21st of the month, meaning that they will be open again for business on that Saturday.
Hideaway Update
by David Darby •
Have you been watching the X Factor? Well now you can be part of the fun. Just stop by The Hideaway in La Herradura where they show the program every weekend, and you can enter their X Factor drawer.
Delfin Do!
by David Darby •
Delfin Books in Almuñécar will be holding their annual Christmas Evening on Friday 27th November from around 6pm.
De Tropen
by Mette Owens •
Visiting the De Tropen showroom yesterday made me seriously wish I owned my own home here so I could decorate it with their furniture pieces. Their selection of indoor and outdoor furniture is absolutely beautiful and with a large collection to choose from.
Hubara Vets
by Editor •
I popped into to see Susi at her veterinary clinic in Salobreña, which is not far away from the Tourism Information Office. Susi Mesa, who is originally from Las Islas Canarias, met her husband, Javier when they were both studying to be veterinary surgeons in Córdoba. As he is from Salobreña, they decided to set up shop there.
Reina Anniversay
by David Darby •
On 8th December, that special Almuñécar venue that is Reina Sofia, will be celebrating their 2nd anniversary.
Carrington Builds
by David Darby •
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
by David Darby •
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
by David Darby •
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
by David Darby •
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
by David Darby •
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
by David Darby •
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
by Editor •
This corner cafeteria, tucked away down a street opposite the Supersol supermarket, offers something very different; oriental pastries, cakes and sweetmeats.
Órgiva Properties
by Vanessa Bosch •
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.
