| CHIRINGUITOS | Fish & Seafood Cuisine | |

Just outside Dona Sofia on the beach side there is Serrano Chiringuito. Chiringuitos are bars that are found on/by the beach and, as well as serving tapas, offer a variety of different meals and fresh fish. The speciality is barbecued sardines and anchovy skewers. If you're looking for a change from meat and find fish too lacking in texture you could do worse than try a swordfish or tuna steak. I have been going there year after year for a long time and I heartily recommend the place. | Any Chiringuito on the beach. |

This well-known restaurant is situated
at Mijas Costa beach near the N340. Beautiful surroundings, excellent
food and superb service make the Mijas Playa a first class restaurant
for a special night out. The menu is extensive with many regional
specialities and a wine list to satisfy all pockets. There is a
small dance floor and a pianist who plays most evenings. I probably
prefer this restaurant to Valparaiso but it's a close thing. Prepare
to be spoilt! |

 |
The Faro Playa Restaurant is located
right on the beach at El Faro. Their Paella, a house speciality,
is one of the best around and reasonably priced too. The house wine
is 'Don Darios', a very pleasant red. Besides restaurant meals they
also have a good lunch time selection of snacks. |

If you find yourself in Marbella
and want somewhere good to eat, either for lunch or dinner, you
must try this restaurant. It is located right in the Marina, the
main Club Nautico. The view from the balcony across the boats is
fantastic..... And there's a menu to match. When you walk in the
entrance it all looks a bit 'stuffy' and expensive.... It isn't.
Take a table on the terrace, order a beer and select some tapas
from the list. PS: the gazpacho and calamari are the 'best'! |

Whenever in Estepona try and make
a beeline for Robbie's in Calle Jubrique! Not the cheapest place
in town but still very reasonable by UK standards, and the food
is wonderful. The owner has a "Thing" about Marilyn Monroe,
you will know what I mean as soon as you walk in ... it's different,
believe me! |

| CASTILLO DE MONDA | International Cuisine | Tel: 952 457 142 |
 |
This majestic 15th century Moorish
castle is situated above the white village of Monda; just a 10 minute
drive from Coin and approximately 30 minutes from Mijas. The food
is absolutely superb, and beautifully presented ... not cheap by
Spanish standards (approx. 45 euros per head with wine, 2004), but
if you would like a special night or Sunday lunch then Castillo
de Monda is a 'must'. |

Wonderful restored castle towering
majestically above the surrounding countryside and one of the famous
white villages of Andalucia. El Castillo has witnessed centuries
of history. Superb food, finest cuisine with an Andalucian flavour,
fine selection of fine Spanish wines, superb service, superb quality.
Style and elegance to spoil the senses. Décor distinctly
Moorish, really a fairytale dating back to 8th Century. |

People visit here from miles around,
run by a delightful family. Specialises in delicious fish and shellfish,

Venta Los Morenos is located inland
at the roundabout on the Mijas to Coin road. Very noisy, very Spanish
and very cheap.....if you want serving wave your arms and hope for
the best! More a place for a long Sunday lunch than an evening meal.
Great fun and highly recommended. |

Located near the entrance to Mijas
golf course. It is not smart or stylish but noisy and bustling and
to top it all the food is fantastic and cheap. Recommendations from
the menu are the prawns’ pill-pill or white bait followed
by something from the barbecue, especially the pork ribs, grilled
sole, hake Basque Style. |
Close to Mijas Golf Course. (Coin Road)
