CALAHONDA

Friday 11th January.
After a light breakfast on the balcony we went out for a drive in the area and ended up at Cabopino Puerto just below Calahonda,which is a small marina with some expensive restaurants and as you can see in the pictures below we also found our dear friend,Thea's surprise birthday present,which is at the end of the month!! In the late afternoon Vidal and Gissy called in to see the apartment,we then went and got a Chinese meal and had a very lively evening which ended up with them staying for thr night.

During the previous evening we decided to go to Marrakesh for the following week so I went and booked The Marrakesh Suite at the apartments!!! In the morning we went down to Cabopino marina with Vidal and Gissy for a drink in the very warm sunshine and had some very good Club Sandwiches and fries before they went back to Estepona,35kms away.As we went down to the marina we spotted the Cabopino Camp site in the pine trees beside the main Autovia and went in to have a look around,It is very large and busy and had some large Rvs on the site with all the facilities including Two pools,but it is very English and all the spots are close together.When we got back we moved into the suite on the first floor with the help of the reception guide,at the same price as last week! It is the top suite and has the largest balcony,TV in the two bedrooms,on suite bathroom in the master bedroom,a huge lounge,T- shaped with all the crockery and glass,top of the range,and air-conditioned throughout! The kitchen is a avery long galley style with everything as required inc.
dishwasher,the only problem being its all electric !

While we were out yesterday we saw what looked like a very nice Italian restaurant just above the Cabopino marina and next to the camp site so after a lie in and a light breakfast we went out in the late afternoon “Spanish Style” for a late lunch/early dinner! The “Bruno at Cabopino”is set in the pine trees and staffed with 8/10 waiters in white bow ties and aprons,Brenda says some of them look like strippers-wishfull thinking on her part!! Anyway the food was very good,Marinated Salmon and a cold Prawn platter,followed by Grilled Veal Liver and Bacon with Spinach and Breaded Veal escalops with Spaghetti Milanaise,all washed down with the house recommended Tinto de Rioja.
