33, 70 & 91

Strange headline, admittedly, but these three figures are the most startling things about this article: a 70-year-old man stabs a 33-year-old prostitute 91 times – you can rule out an accident.

Magic at the Mirador

(NW) Well what a successful afternoon was had at the Mirador de Cerro Gordo on Saturday 10th July. The charity event was organised by Anne and Keith Harwood who raised a grand total of 2020 euros on the day, in aid of the Gastro-intestinal cancer fund.

Boat Mystery

Well, if you are taking a few rays this year, it looks like you should be looking for danger from the other direction. This is, of course, news that a boat, with nobody on board, crashed onto the rocks at the Punta-de-la-Mona end of the bay.

Mirador Returns

Judging by the amount of people I saw up at Mirrador de Cerro Gordo in La Herradura, there a great many who have been waiting with baited breath for Alix and Kevin to return from their holidays.
They are not being disappointed either as Kevin has come up with a completely new menu for this year, which, having read through thoroughly, does not disappoint!

Mirador Hot Stones

It is, in fact, a return to the delicious Hot Stone meals, where you are served with a large and very hot stone (hence the name maybe?), upon which you can place all manner of fresh meat and fish, allowing it to cook to perfection before your very eyes!

Mirador de Cerro Gordo

The ever lovely Alix and the rather dashing Kevin at the Mirador de Cerro Gordo wanted me to impart to you all, that they are now open from Tuesday through to Sunday lunch. Also, that the a la carté menu is now available during lunchtimes, as well as the lovely light lunches. Take note that…

Mirador de Cerro Gordo

Now moving on to La Herradura, what is the best thing about Mirador de Cerro Gordo? Is it the location, the food or just how good the team working there is? Well the location can only be described as stunning, and I do not use that word lightly. Of course, I mustn’t overstate things, to ensure fair play amongst all the restaurants in the area, but if there is a better location to enjoy truly excellent food, than sitting in the Mirador de Cerro Gordo at sunset, then I have yet to find it.

Mirador Extra!

Did you know that the Mirador de Cerro Gordo is expanding? Not in size, obviously, because if it got any bigger it would slide off the top of hill and down onto La Herradura beach… which, I admit, would have a certain comedy value, but then where would we all go?
Seriously, they are expanding their hours to seven days a week, all day, from 11am. Which is great for me, as I love it up there… in fact last time I was there Kevin donned a night shirt, a floppy hat and was wandering around with a candle… I think maybe I’d outstayed my welcome?
