He puts it so much better than I can. Pity he’s only got halfway!

Tat in Mojacar

Posted Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

A happy afternoon browsing the souvenir shops along “The Strip”. Nice to see that the credit crunch isn’t affecting the sale of complete and utter tat.

Yes, it’s an illuminated virgen in a sea shell with a thermometer and on the back it says “Rdo. de Mojacar”. Haven’t seen anything so vulgar since the last time [...]

La Cantina Mexican restaurant, Mojacar Playa

Posted Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

There was a time when I was quiet tolerant of feeling a “bit queasy” after a meal out. I would tell myself “it’s the drink” or “maybe the sandwich I had for lunch”. But totting it up, that’s four times this year that I’ve been up at night after a dodgy meal. Once in Meson [...]

Fire in Mojacar

Posted Friday, August 29th, 2008

From my current location out in the sticks behind Turre, I can see a large plume of black smoke coming out of Mojacar village.
It is, of course, fiesta there. And I see that at 17.00 hours was the “Magic tricks championship”. Maybe something went horribly wrong? Or did the fire eaters on later tonight have [...]

Mojacar Magazine

Posted Monday, July 21st, 2008

The latest issue of what has to be the oddest looking website in Almeria is out.
www.mojacarmagazine.com
Featuring such interesting snippets as a bio for “Dodge” Ric Polansky, “A history of Tapas”, “Spanish Petrol Scam” and more!
Actually, this is one website that gets to me; if only they would publish it in a proper web format instead [...]

La Cabana Argentine Restaurant, Mojacar

Posted Monday, May 26th, 2008

Update: 4th August 2008. It’s now moved, according to the normally reliable Lenox Napier (I never venture down Mojacar Playa this time of year unless driven). It’s now in Pueblo Diana, in front of El Levante. The landlord has reopened keeping it almost the same.

La Cabana Argentine Restaurant, Parrilla Argentina, is a restaurant in which I [...]

A small victory over the Sevillana Endensa

Posted Monday, April 7th, 2008

A small victory from our pressure group “Levante sin Cables”, who are, as you may remember, a local Spanish pressure group of small property owners negatively affected by Sevillana Endensa, the local power company who decided to run a high power electric line over our properties instead of over the more direct route (owned by [...]

Shamrock Restaurant

Posted Monday, April 30th, 2007

Bar Restaurant Shamrock
Paseo del Mediterraneo 8,
Mojacar Playa 04638
Tel. 950 472 664
Mojacar Playa is an irritating place at the best of times. Too long, too slow, not enough parking spaces. Whereas Lenox seems happy to meander around getting in the way (here), I´m all for building the second half of the bypass up through La [...]
