LA LINEA

Wed 28th Feb.
A beautiful day with blue skies and hot sun as we set off to Tarifa, which
is just past Algeciras and Gibraltar.It is on the Atlantic coast and is one
of the ports for the boats to Africa.Just as we arrived we discovered that
the co-driver and navigator had not brought the passports! It was my fault
as the trip across was to be a surprise,so we turned around at set off for
La Linea de la Concepcion for lunch which is the town just before Gibraltar.
The traffic into Gibraltar was very busy as we went to the promenade on
the Mediterranean side of the rock. We had passed the restaurant before
but did not know that it was so good untill Joyce who lived in Gibraltar for a
while reccommend it. We arrived and got a window table,although it was
busy for the bank holiday. We had starters of Seafood soup and Scallops,
followed by Sea Bass and Lobster cooked outside on a wood embers
by the local fisherman! In between the courses they served a lemon house
sorbet ,we chose a local Vino Blanco and finished off with brandy and the
house Muscotel. The picture shows the "Restaurante La Marina "on the shore
and the Lobster and Sea Bass on the way to the BBQ !!
