BEST RESTAURANTS TO EAT IN TORREVIEJA
Can anyone tell me where the best restaurants are in Torrevieja. I have my family coming over from the UK in July and wanted to try to compile a list for them from recommendations. They like all International food so a variety would be excellent. Appreciate any good suggestions. Thanks
´SPLENDOUR OF SPAIN¨, Music, Arts & Craft Festival Sat 4th & Sunday 5th 11am - 6pm
If you have a few hours to spare on the weekend, pop down to Casa La Pedrera the Grand Design House and soak up the atomosphere of the Music, Arts & Craft Festival. It runs all day until 6 and there is an opening and a closing performance both with a spanish flavour. If you have never experienced the true ´flamenco´ you need to be here at 4.00pm on Saturday to see the ´Gypsey King´ from Sevilla, who is the real deal. He has a huge spanish following and has never played to english before, so we need to show him that we can ´Fiesta´like the rest of them. So tell all your friends, there is plenty to see and do, craft fair, art exhibition, and for the kids pony, quad rides and our hay ride with trips to the lake. An all day bbq, plus wood fired paella in the true Valencian tradition. The raffle prizes truly amazing and includes hand made jewellery, paintings etc. & all those entering receiving a free sample of the spanish Liquor, Licquor 43... So much to do, see and hear,,, you cannot afford to miss it!!! We are less than 15 mins from Quesada, quickest way is jump onto the AP7 towards Categena, and take the next exit which is Los Montesinos, follow the signs for Orihuela/Bigastro and its just left after the Vista Bella/La Fortaleza Rest. or simply drive right through Los Montesinos, over the motorway again following the signs to Bigastr/Orihuela. There will be signs off the CV95 to turn into the CV950 just after the restaurants. See our website www.thingstodoinspain.info and click on contact us and then on find us or call 660816620... Jenni
Restaurant Recommendations
My wife is celebrating her 65th birthday soon and I am looking for somewhere special to take her. Can anyone make any recommendations?
We enjoy Cote Jardin in Benimar. Lovely atmosphere, fantastic food and great staff. I would certainly recommend for a special occasion.
We went to a new restaurant called Auberge and it was very nice. Decorated very nicely and good atmostphere. Nice choice on the menu too.
The Hot Stone Restaurant at El Raso is great and somewhere different that is not just your normal restaurant - you cook your food (steak, fish, chicken, veg on request) on a hot stone at your table to your requirements. Great fun!
We always enjoy Fratellis on the square in Benijofar - lovely food and good service. Do usually have to book for a weekend though.
For a special treat I highly recomend la Heradura. okay you have a short drive to montesinos but its on the main drag and it is a wonderful experience, typically spanish, with an amazing menu of the highest order. its not somewhere youd go unless it was a special occasion or you were happy to spend a few quid. you can dine in the large dining room, outside in the beautiful spanish courtyard or you can book one of their many small and intimate dinning rooms, it really is a lovely experience.
Just come back from Portico Mar, Guardamar. Excellent food, lovely presentation and excellent service, nice surroundings......3 course meal with wine, lunchtime 14,95.....evening 17,95......ideal for that special occasion
Thanks everyone for the recommendations - Ill have a think and let you know where I decide on and how it was, more importantly!!
EXHIBITION OF 2ND HAND CAR SALES
Visited Xl 2ND HAND MOTOR FAIR IN ALMORADI yesterday as I was looking and hoping to change my car in part exchange. Lots of choices, but was amazed how expensive second hand cars cost here in Spain. I tried to negotiate with several dealers but they were so adamant about the prices and would not budge a great deal. So I decided to keep my car for at least another year. I will give it a service and look after it and save myself a few euros.
I have seen a few cars as I have been driving around in the Catrel area that are for sale and they seem very cheap. I will post the phone numbers next time I am passing

ITALIAN RESTAURANTS
Are there any Italian Restaurants in Almoradi as I think we have walked throughout the town and I haven´t seen any. We do like a variety of international cuisine and Italian food is one of them. Can anyone confirm that there are no Italian places to eat in Almoradi. Thank you
The only place I know that offers Italian food is Restaurante Giovanni, its not a full blown Italian restaurant more continental cuisine, but some of the Italian dishes are very nice. If you go back 2 weeks on the forum I reviewed an Italian Restaurant called Fratelli´s in Benijofar and would definately recommend this if you want good homemade Italian food. Your feedback is most welcome. Regards
As Almoradi Life have already confirmed Giovanni´s restaurant is the only one in Almoradi that offers Italian food. Again if you drive another lovely Italian restaurant called La Napolitana offers delicious authentic Italian food and is based in Benimar ll, right at the top of the hill. You will not be disappointed. Regards John
MENS TENNIS FINAL SUNDAY 5 JUNE
Tennis lovers out there, tomorrow is the final of the French Open from Paris.
It´s being contested by the usual suspects, Nadal and Federer. Live on Eurosport and BBC2 from 3.00pm. Who will lift the trophy this year? One interesting fact is if Federer wins then Djockovic will be the new no1 in the world!
We went here yesterday and it was a great day.
