At night, with the lights and all, makes it pretty romantic to take your other half :) The menu is rather extensive and the staff is friendly, the taste is really good but I think it's slightly overpriced - the location and the size of the portion explains a bit of this "high price" but probably not all of it. Yeah, definitely a place to visit if you are around! I haven't tried any food, but I bet it's worth the try! Cheers!

Note there is another Spar location more in the town proper of Alhama de Murcia. This Spar is a clean store that maintains stocked shelves. This Spar had a good sampling of food from other countries. The prices on the packaged goods appeared typical or slightly higher than other grocery stores around Spain. The fresh fruit and vegetables were more expensive (up to 20% more than other grocery stores). Because this development is about 15-20 from the actual town of Alhama de Murcia, it was very convenient to residents/guests to have this Spar nearby for quick grocery needs.

Found this burger place while randomly walking around Cartagena. As a burger fanatic, it drew me in…read morewith the aesthetic of the place. Inside is a kind of eclectic chic vibe that jumps out from the several-hundred-year-old building in the surrounding blocks. The inside was immaculately clean and the service was great. I ordered the Emily Burger with fries. The fries were unfortunately cold, which you could tell they had most likely been done before the burger was close to being done. The bun for the burger was nice and soft, and you could tell it was freshly made. The grilled onions and spicy sauce were good, but the bacon and burger were so-so. The bacon was very well done in most spots and well underdone in others. The burger was a tad underdone for how it was ordered in the center, which happens, but made me skip a few of the last bites. The flavor of the burger was definitely different than what you would find in a burger from the USA, but I could not tell if it was just a different ratio of beef used or a possible pork mixture. I would most likely order a standard burger and ask for it a little extra done next time. The location offers both online ordering, ordering from the QR code at the table, and going up in person. The staff brings the food out to you, and you just self-toss the trash. Cost-wise, it is pretty decent and what you would expect to pay at a nicer gourmet burger place, equating to €10-12. The place is a chain across Spain, and each location looks to be unique with an eclectic decor, which is nice to have every location different.

Paella is usually for two people minimum but they allowed me to get one serving for a little bit extra cost which was still nice. Open late which is a plus and not too busy.

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?
