I did my usual of going off the main tourist route and found this really delightful home…read morebakery/cafe which was populated by lucky locals. It's not geared for tourists despite being only a few metres off the main thoroughfare so that was what I wanted. The master baker is also the shop assistant who sells all his own work to greedy gluttons like me. When I walked in, my interest was first to ensure there was a proper coffee machine as none would be a deal breaker. Yes it had. Then I scanned the sweet and savoury goodies on display and absorbed the wonderful smell of a great bakery. It was plain to see there was great skill at work here and you could feel the sense of pride that the baker has as we discussed the fresh goodies before me. He beamed as I asked him about his speciality of meat in pastry with a sugar dusting. I was conscious of my location - southern Spain with North African influences. I've had pounded pigeon brik in Morocco - a fried savoury dish but dusted with sugar which was delicious. Our attention turned to his sweet treats and with real difficulty that gluttons understand we chose three pastries and two darn good coffees. Everything was perfect. Locals kept coming in to take goodies home, batches of school kids came by as they were on a school project which challenged them to find the place with a pastry/meat/sugar dish and as these noisy yet polite students mobbed the cafe every few minutes the proud owner just beamed with delightful pride at their attention and curiosity. We left happy and next time I will try his speciality - even gluttons can't eat everything. This city is old. It is beautiful and it essentially has one quite long cafe/bar/restaurant laden Main Street with more than a smattering of fashion shops with hordes of males loitering outside while wives/girlfriends were inside shopping likely oblivious to time. It is also remarkable that the main shopping centre is only a few metres walk away from impressive Roman ruins and less than 10 minutes walk away from a marvellous historic, now modernised port. So in a few footsteps one can go from the modern capitalist world back thousands of years of human life and just remember nine tenths of all whoever lived are now dead. Isn't that amazing? So I noted that crowds of tourists were flooding Main Street particularly as several thousand folk had arrived in cruise ships - I saw that nestled in with these awesome craft in the port was the Vibrant Curiosity, a megayacht, owned by German entrepreneur Reinhold Würth. Her accommodation includes a master stateroom with its own office, a private exterior deck area with whirlpool, one VIP suite with his & her bathroom, 5 double suites, 2 of which occupy the uppermost deck, and 2 further double guest cabins. The yacht has a crew of 26. It has a top speed of 20 knots, a cruising speed of 17 knots, and a range of 5,500 nautical miles at 14 knots.A helicopter and helipad are located on the top deck. Isn't it amazing what can be packed into an hour exploring?

Remito a lo que pone en su Facebook…read more KL Bakery is a young company, founded in 2012, opening our first shop in Alfaz del Pi in January 2013. The idea for KL Bakery is to always deliver fresh bread without all strange additives that nobody understands, as E272???. Our bread is baked fresh every night, not using frozen dough or preservatives. Our bread is all natural. It all started in the summer of 2012, we were looking for fresh bread in the Albir-Alfaz area and shocked with the difficulties we had to find what we wanted, and when we finally did we had the second shock; the prices. The idea to open our own bakery was born. From idea to reality!! To sell bread is not an art, but to bake so many different types of bread and cakes every night is difficult and even worse, none of us had any experience of baking at this level. The idea was to use some good recipes and to bake the bread every day, but then the creativity took over and we started trying different combinations using the fantasy. This resulted in KL Bakery´s, already now, well known and fantastic assortment that never ends, we always have something new and continue our creative baking. Baked with Passion. You can easily say that we bake with love with quality in focus, "we never bend the borders" when it comes to choice of products or ways to produce. We proudly bake our bread every night, it is not a dance on roses but thanks to all our fantastic customers who choose our bread and support us, we get new energy to continue developing. Our Bread!!. "All our breads are ours", baked by hand every night with all our passion. The name of the breads comes from different experiences in life and our imagination. Success!! Our first shop has been a huge success and now we have opened the biggest bread shop in the area. Our second shop opened in March next to Supermarket Mendoza in Albir.

Lots of yummy cakes and pies, loved by locals and inexpensive!…read more Conchi Rivera bakery is located in the Torrevieja city center, within short walking distance from Plaza de la Constitución and Paseo Vista Alegre. I try to avoid foods loaded with sugar but I just can't resist entering when I pass by. They bake themselves - showcases are full of desserts of any kind, just made. It is fun to examine stuff and take pictures, everything is well lit. Coffee is good. There are themed cakes on Easter, Christmas, Reyes Magos (The Three Kings), Halloween and other holidays. There's indoor and outdoor seating. They don't have WiFi of their own and advice to connect to municipal library's WiFi (next building). Will try that next time. The bathroom is hidden in the private area, ask them how to get there. I will be back and again I will have to run away from there before I eat all their stock :)
