Hi,
There’s very little to do in the bar restaurant this week, as it is closed, but I did pop into the bar this morning to put the main bottle fridge onto defrost and it will take about 2 days for all the ice to melt, clean inside and switch it on again, ready for Olivia to open the restaurant again on Monday.
But right now Olivia is on holiday, so this morning we went into Marbella for a quiet breakfast together. The bar cafeteria we chose was the famous “Cafeteria Marbella” located in the high street, right in front of the park. Service there is very professional and we both enjoyed our quiet breakfast together. I chose café con leche with croissant and jam, whilst Olivia took tortilla with her coffee. The bar has a lovely terrace shaded by trees. We chatted about Victor's progress with his A 2’s, about the likelihood of him starting dating soon and about us taking him kiteboarding in Tarifa this weekend. We’d spend our time in the bar or restaurant and on the beach whilst he had his lessons.
Despite my back problems, which prevent me from sitting, I am able to cycle from the Diana Comercial Centre to the “Romaria” Shrine, which is located in a eucalyptus spinney about 5 km up the Benahavis road. The trip is hilly and where the Benahavis road passes under the E-15 motorway, the road leading to the tunnel and passing through the tunnel itself is steep, so it’s important to stay in a very low gear and pedal at a relaxed rate, if I can do that I reach the Romaria Shrine comfortably and still have the energy to cycle back home. Trying to cycle to fast up a hill is a really bad mistake to make, as you use up too much of your energy, making the journey home an unpleasant struggle.
Cycling is a marvelous sport; it allows you to journey through the countryside reasonably slowly and to enjoy all the natural sights and sounds along the way. You see farm animals, beautiful wild birds and witness the changing of the seasons, perhaps enjoying a fig or an orange from a tree as you pass by. Sometimes I ride the whole way up to the village (Which is officially located in Estepona) and sit outside a bar, cooling off with a cold drink, but if I only go as far as the Romaria Shrine, then unfortunately I am nowhere near a bar or restaurant and have to be glad that I’ve brought cold drink with me from my own bar.
Ildefonso, the Engineer who oversaw our Pizzeria Bar project, emailed me this morning saying that he was disappointed that whilst we were in Malaga yesterday, we didn’t call him to meet up in a bar for a drink and a few tapas. For some time now he has been wanting to take us to a bar in Malaga that does marvelous tapas. Ildefonso Perez is a very good Commercial Engineer and he really enjoys working with British clients. Basically he designs, builds and modifies apts. bars and restaurants villas and as he knows everybody in that line on the Costa del Sol, he can get the paperwork done without all the long delays that most of us have to put up with. For any readers needing help, here’s his mobile No: 661 849 489.
