Chilli bar vandalised
It appears the Chilli bar (Indian restaurant in Turre) was severely “smashed up” last night after some people broke in.
Rumors as to why are… varied.
Far be it from me to spread the four (different) tales I have heard so far. So I’ll do some digging.
later
It seems that at 5,30am, a car full of people turned up at the restaurant, attached some chains to the rejas and front door and drove forwards.
Once a big hole had appeared in the door, they reversed, loaded up the fruit machine and drove off.
I tell you, it’s all go in Turre!

Meson del Pobre
You’ll remember I mentioned how a strange piece appeared in the euroweekly -I doubt you read it, most people haven’t- about how Meson del Pobre “apologises for past problems” and has “new staff new menu new attitude” with no further explanation. An open invitation for speculation and rumour, I feel.
It’s been a while since I’ve been in there so I wasn’t aware of the changes.
The story, I’m told, is as follows:
Staff problems (some have complained of receiving incorrect change, others simply of bad service) exacerbated by Diego turning a blind eye in exchange for an occasional grope. More and more unpleasant people turning up and drinking, scaring away the better class of customer. Ends up with a big fight in the car park outside a couple of months ago. Usual story.
Diego is no longer associated with the place -some say he is looking for a new opportunity, others say his ass was fired, the story is up to him to tell- and new staff are in place.
And the page is turned and a new chapter in place. Wonder if their rotten tapas will be improved?
El Pará, Turre
Posted by admin in Restaurants on November 16th, 2009
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 with Meson del Pobre having to publish an apoloy in the English-language press and Stoneys sports bar opening up.
But, one brave couple went against the tide and opened their own restaurant with typical food. Marcos and Cati. In La Pará. As I explained before, but will explain again for the benefit of my monolingual Catalan and Galician readers, La Pará mean “the stop” in Andaluz.
Bloody delicious stew. Are you cold? Hungry? Can’t be bothered with a three course meal each and just fancy some home cooked food shared between the table? Go to La Pará where they can serve you anything, as long as you like Spanish, home made and tasty.

Meson del Pobre problems?
EWN -”the most ignored newspaper in Spain” – reports that the management of Meson del Pobre “would like to apologise to their customers for recent problems. We are now open with new staff [..] We welcome everyone [back]“.
Any idea what all this is about? (p34)
SuperTurre fight
Rumours reach me of a disturbance Friday evening in Super Turre.
It appears three men (Rumanians were mentioned, although no-one seems 100% sure) were spotted helping themselves to goods. Quite blatently.
Two of the lads (Luis the butcher and Enrique) went over to remonstrate. Ended up with Luis’s head pushed through some shelving as the crooks made their getaway.
Nothing serious (black eye and a story) but does go to show that you need to be on your toes when dealing with shoplifters. Super Turre reckons shop lifting is up a heck of a lot on last year.
Floods in Turre – riverbeds full!
Crikey. The run off from the mountains after this mornings downpour is incredible now there is no vegetation. Ramblas are full and the place is under water. Haven’t seen the rambla’s this full since the huge storms of 1991.
An group of the old lads seemed in agreement that the ramblas have never been so full since the 23rd of August 1963 (or anyone of similar dates around that time, you know what it’s like when four old fellas start talking about their past)…
Oh, and it’s raining again, hard. Will be interesting to see if the old Turre bridge is still standing tomorrow.

Superturre
Amazing place. I was browsing there last night, while the GF was off looking for sensible things.
Where else can you find an Arabian water pipe, a chess set made out of false glass, a first aid kit, a chainsaw (petrol), a guitar, ladies perfume and nit shampoo.
And that’s just in aisle one. God knows what else they’ve got in there.
