A Great Find – La Esquina Benejúzar
On our jaunts today, we visited La Esquina Benejúzar after seeing them being mentioned on social media and have to say this is a great little find. This was our first-ever visit to Benejúzar, and this quaint little town is a rabbit warren of back streets and one-way systems. Sat…

Now then, we had lunch out and if you want to try an authentic menu from Spain, then look no further than the menu del dia at Cerveceria El Pantanico. If this name rings a bell, it’s because not only have we eaten there several times, including their Thursday BBQ…

Patagonia Steak House Quesada: Go With Empty Stomach!
We visited the Patagonia Steak House on a Saturday evening, and this had been on our list for quite some time. To be honest, it was a toss-up between this location and the one at El Raso, but we eventually decided on the Quesada restaurant. We booked an early table,…

We wanted to reserve a table for the Saturday night music evening at Alma Bar And Cafeteria, so popped in to confirm our place and decided, as it was lunchtime, to grab a bite to eat. Despite the strong gusts of wind, the place was busy with most of the…
