MANILVA.

Thursday 12th.February.

I got up early and shot across to the bank in Estepona to sort out a little technical problem about a standing order,Brenda had a lie in is she has not been sleeping too well as she has caught a bad cold off me after our wet trip to Guadalmina last week! When I got back we went for our morning walk and called into the butchers to pick up some Pork Cutlets for dinner,he had just made some Chicken Burgers so we bought two to try and walked down to the very small shop at the start of the village,Toto’s for the local bread like a Burger Bun but softer and white.On the way back we stopped at Bar Rojas for a glass of Faustino Rosado as it was a beautiful day with no wind,blue skies and hot sun as we sat and watched the world go by!We then had our Chicken Burgers on our roof terrace,it was so hot and sunny that we had to put the sun umbrella up;we spent the rest of the afternoon listening to the quiet of the village! as you can see in the pictures below. As we spoke to Mano later to ask after Anna who is over in North Wales for a few days we invited him to join us for dinner later;Pork Cutlets in a Lemon Butter sauce,Lyonnaise Potatoes,Green Beans,Broccoli,Mushrooms and Baked Spanish Green Peppers filled with Savoury Rice,all washed down with very cold Cruzcampo!We then went out for a nightcap to a couple of Bars were Brenda and Mano had “ Carajillo’s ” small strong black coffee topped with 501 Brandy and I made sure that the Bacardi and Coke’s were all right !! Just another day in our quiet and sleepy village with the locals making us very welcome;check out the web page for Manilva at;www.turismomanilva.com
