Good places to go out in Almuñecar
« on: December 30, 2009, 08:47:58 AM »
My wife and I are staying in a rented apartment in Almuñecar from January until March in order to escape the British weather.
Since we have been here it has rained everyday :-(((
However I am told that this is very unusual.

We have a pleasant apartment in Las Gondolas.

Can anyone give us any tips about good places to eat or go out?

I'm not actually an expert on Almuñecar because I don't live there but I'll do my best.

Bar Pepe
You have a very good menu del dia restaurant on your doorstep at las Gondolas.
BTW: Las Gondolas are the two very big apartment buildings next to the bridge over the River Verde on the seafront.
I think it is called bar Pepe.
For about 10 euros you can have a 3 course menu del dia either inside or outside Monday - Friday

Restaurante La China
Paseo de Cotobro
18690 Almuñécar
Teléfono: 958 63 48 56

To get to this bar just walk along the seafront in the direction of Playa Cotobro until you get to it.
I've only been to this bar once, before I got to the bar it seemed that all the restaurants had almost nobody in them and it was a very quiet night. When I got to the Restaurante La China I discovered the real reason. The Restaurante La China had captured the entire market by having massive free good quality tapas. How do they make a profit? All the other restaurants must hate them. I had 3 beers each accompanied by a massive tapa. Meat balls, a large tortilla (Spanish omelette) and a mousaka in a big pan. My wife had decent red wine. It cost 12 euros I was so full I counld eat anymore and had to abandon my plans to go to a restaurant.


Chinese Restaurants
Most people in Almuñecar prefer either the Asiatica or the one next to it Called the Asia.
They are near to Lidl on the main road at the top of Almuñecar.
There are many Chinese restaurants in Almuñecar and most of them are almost all the same with the same prices and menu.

Note: This places changed owner in Feb 2011 and we don't know how it will change.

As you are British you will probably like to know some places where many of the clientelle speak English.

My favourite English bar is the Ragged Rock which is next to the the Ornothological Park near the big white cross.



It is very friendly and is a good place to meet other people and have a good laugh.
At times, late at night it can get chaotic when some of the regulars have had a few.

The clientelle are mainly British, German, Scandinavian, French, Spanish etc.

On Saturday nights there is live music with a guitarist singing old favourites.

Andrew the barman/owner is very friendly but most of his jokes are awful.
He is welsh but doesn't have a welsh accent.
The bar is always open until 12 midnight and will stay open until a lot later if there are people still drinking.  

British drinks such as Murphy's  and Guiness are served.

There are no tapas.

Food such as "Full English Breakfast" is served during the day
 
In my opinion the Ragged Rock is the best British style bar in Almuñecar.


There are others such as the Bar with no Name.
This has a pool table and sky TV.

There is Danny's Bar
On the Velilla Beach area.
They do English food, live music. British beer.

There is a place called "Los Bajos" which are underneath the Paseo del Altillo.
There is a whole line of bars and disco pubs mainly aimed at the under 30's.
Loud music.
There are lots of people there at weekends.

Last night I went to a bar called las Cuevas.
They have a Kareoke.
It was my first time in a Kareoke bar.
As it was mid-week there weren't many people. 

I didn't get home until 6am.
It was a good night.
