Lola is here for a few days!

Wednesday-4th Jul

Graham:

Hi,
Lola is here for a few days! That means there will never be a dull moment and we won’t be short of entertainment, whilst she’s around. Let’s just say that whilst Lola is a great friend of ours, she is let’s say rather generous with words.

Lola together with her Lebanese partner (Hanna) used to run a bar restaurant in San Pedro, which we visited frequently. Where else would one find wonderful Lebanese cuisine, fine wine and be entertained from when we entered their door to when we left?

Lola and Hanna have had bars and restaurants in Estepona, Marbella, Benalmadena and Fuengirola. The have always rented their premises and only once bought the lease for a bar and consequently have moved whenever the rent has be jacked-up.

Hanna left the Lebanon, when a bomb exploded near him, leaving him deaf in one ear for several years. He has worked as a chef for rich Arabs here on the Costa del Sol, but finally his entrepreneurial partner Lola convinced him to set up their first restaurant together in Marbella.

Olivia:

Hi,
I met Lola years ago, when she first started to come to our bar in the Diana Commercial Center, as a customer. I was immediately attracted to her as a person for three reasons: She was a great talker, always having and interesting tale to tell, She was born in Barbate on the Costa de la Luz, (which is our favourite place to get away to) and lastly because she had traveled widely to places such as Indonesia and Cuba, (where she had managed an hotel for 5 years).

They now have a bar restaurant in Barbate:

Terraza y Bar Restaurant “Losana Sabores”
C/Voraz SN
Paseo Maratimo Barbate”
Tel: (English) 679 74 74 27

The reason they are here now is to install people into their villa here behind Diana. They are renting their house to an English couple, who are waiting for their new house to be finished in San Pedro-Estepona area.

Lola is not only a good talker, but is also a published writer.
This is their first season on the sea front in Barbate, but with Lola’s people skills and Hanna’s exquisite cuisine, I am confident that they will do really well in their new bar restaurant.

Let’s all wish them good luck!
