El Pará, Turre

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Still delicious. Still the best place in Turre for tapas, raciones or a full meal. So many years ago Turre was the town of restaurants. It was well known that if you wanted to eat out you went to Turre. We had the Adelina or the Meco for the “foriegners”, then defined as anyone from further away than Murcia or Albacete. Whereas the locals ate in Orsoca. Well, you know the story. It ends up Continue reading El Pará, Turre→

La Pará, Turre

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

La Pará is a new bar and restaurant that has opened up at the top of the main street in Turre, as you leave going out towards the cementery. It´s very, very nicely done out inside, with no expense spared on the décor. This was done by someone who plans to stay a while, and these people are Ana, her husband Marcos and Ana’s sister whose name escapes me (but I´ll find out next time Continue reading La Pará, Turre→

Cafe Bar Aguila, Albox

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Aguila is a workers bar in Albox. But by gum, it’s a good one. Inside, in a main room, darkened by the windows which are tightly shuttered against the danger of the summer sun, wizened men and worker foremen sit hunched over the bar, drinking their carajillos. A low background murmur from conversation is constantly audible – the minute you look to see where it’s coming from the conversation stalls and you find that the Continue reading Cafe Bar Aguila, Albox→

Meson Geres (Vera)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Meson Geres is in Vera, and a place I first discovered while having a quick coffee with the subdirector of Banco Andalucia. It’s hidden in between the banks and the notaries, and as such, is clean, quick and tasty. They do a “quick” menu del dia, in which you sit down, the waiter comes out, rattles off a long list of food, and you order the only item on the menu you heard. The food Continue reading Meson Geres (Vera)→

Asuntxu autopull cerveceria Mojacar Playa (self serve beer!)

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Asuntxu is a fun little place on Mojacar Playa with tapas and a twist – you serve your own beer from the taps installed in the centre of the tables. It’s actually good fun, just choose a table, get it switched on and off you go, pulling your own beers. Drink as little or as much as you want to, and get charged by the centilitre. €5 for a litre, which isn’t much more than Continue reading Asuntxu autopull cerveceria Mojacar Playa (self serve beer!)→

Meson Verfran

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

  Casting around for something to add to my new look blog, I was stuck until called up by a Spanish friend for a beer at midday. Time being pressing, we popped along for a few tapas at Meson Verfran in Los Gallardos, a place I find I haven’t reviewed since 2006, despite frequently popping in for a snack. I find it strange how these Spanish mesóns can carry along without a glitch for year Continue reading Meson Verfran→
