PLAYA ANDALUZA AND CABOPINO.

Saturday 29th. November.

After a lie in,well it was our anniversary!For breakfast we had Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Pink Trout before we packed our overnight bags to move down for the night to the Marriot Vacation Club at Playa Andaluza,Carolyn had arranged for her friend,Sue,to move in for the night and look after the animals and the villa,we had met her on Friday when she called in to make the arrangements with us.The stay at the resort was free and the sales manager had booked a very large two bedroomed apartment overlooking the sea ,as you can see in the picture below;both bedrooms have very large beds and our master bedroom had a Jaccuzi Bath and separate power shower wet room! They are furnished to a very high standard and are fully equipped including large screen TVs. in the lounge and bedroom. We settled in and then after watching the Rugby,Wales beat Australia!! we then went down to the indoor pool for a swim and a dip in the large warm Whirlpool Spa's overlooking the beach at the front of the complex. In the evening before we went out we opened a bottle of well chilled Pink Champagne that we had brought with us;we then went to the Restaurante Da Bruno in Cabopino,again using one of our free vouchers for dinner,the owner,Bruno,greeted us and we settled down to order as the live music duo,who were very good,played in the background.Brenda had the Cappaccio of Beef which just melted in your mouth and I had Prawn cocktail made with ten large Gambas!
For her main course Brenda had the Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb “ Pink” which was two small racks put together and was just to die for,the Lamb was succulent and sweet and fell off the bone! I had the Escalope of Veal in a Lemon wine sauce,it was the best Veal that I’ve tasted in a very long while and once again it just melted in the mouth,both came with Wilted Greens,Dauphinoise Potatoes and Frits.With the meal we had a bottle of the excellent house Valpolicella to wash down the meal and end a memorable meal on our 37th.wedding anniversary!!
