A VERY WARM & SUNNY MANILVA ON MONDAY AT THE START OF A ' HELLUVA' WEEK.

MONDAY 20^th / JUNE 2016.

Just a little lie in this morning and after a quick shower we had ‘Smoked Bacon Butties’ and a mug of tea to set us up for the day/week ahead! We are collecting the folks from their apartment later and we are going along the coast to ‘ La Linea De La Concepcion’ to have a Tapas lunch at the most famous 'Tapas Bar' in the area " La Bodeguiya " - its most special dish is their Roast Leg of Pork! 

 Which we had on a bed of saute Onions & Curry Mayonnaise between slices of toasted Ciabatta Bread along with their famous ' Boquerones in Vinegar - Fillets of Anchovies ' Jack & also has a small Tapas of ' Chuletas de Cordero' with Frits.- local Lamb Cutlets. See the pictures below;

We then made the short walk into the heart of the town and had a coffee at " Cafe Modelo " 

On the way back we will drop down into the Marina at ‘ ‘Sotogrande’ for a cool drink at the ‘ Ke’ Bar along with all the other ‘posers’!! Then this evening we are going along to ‘ Marlow’s’ for their ‘ Early Bird’ Fish & Chip supper, every time the folks come we go on a  ‘Pilgrimage’’ to the best  ‘Battered Fish, Crisp Chips & Mushy Peas ‘on the ‘ Costa Del Sol’!

Its another glorious day down here on the 'Costa Del Sol' with a clear blue sky and just a little breeze to make it very acceptable, the forecast for the rest of the week is even getting better with the temperatures rising into the 30s - ssee the spectacular picture below taken from the mountains behind the village showing Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Africa and the 'Pillars of Hercules' !!

Tomorrow its the big day out as we hit Malaga; we are going in the morning and I will park in the underground car park close to ‘Calle Larios’ – the ‘ Heart’ of the shopping & restaurants district, so as we can call into the ‘ Atarazanas Market’ before going along to the Cathedral, then we will make our way to the famous ‘ Cervecerias’ – “ Los Gatos “ for lunch, I will then show the folks around Malaga in the ‘ Fun Bus’ taking in all the sights, culture and the Marina/Port etc. Its going to be one ‘ Helluva’ day out, watch this space.

On Wednesday 22^nd of June – “ Brenda’s Birthday “ we are starting with a ‘ Campo’ Fried Egg & Bacon Breakfast ‘ ( requested by all the folks !) at the ‘ Manilva Green Aparthotel’ with ‘ Bucks Fizz ( Cava ) ‘ In the evening I have booked a nice window table at one of our favourite ‘ full on ‘ restaurants “ Restaurante Marques “ on the second level of ‘Puerto de la Duquesa’ overlooking the Marina. Watch this space.
