Anna, the bartender at Claddagh Irish Pub in Marbella, turned me on to this new Spanish restaurant…read morejust around the corner. She told me that they had good, authentic Andalucian cuisine, excellent wines, and reasonable prices and she was absolutely right! There was what I would call a "Mariachi" group on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant strumming four guitars and singing familiar songs I have heard many times in Mexican restaurants in California and Texas. I was told that they are called "Tunos" in Spain, but these four gentlemen were much more talented than any Mariachi group I have ever heard. The guitars and voices were melodically synchronized, rendering four part harmonies unrivaled by some of the best barber shop quartets I have heard. They performed non-stop from 9:30pm until nearly 11:30pm when I finally left for my room and they were superb. The waiter spoke English reasonably well, suggesting wines, starters, and a main course. Nothing I ordered was on the menu. He first brought me a glass of Tempranillo, a dark, robust Spanish red wine with hints of oak along with a "tortilla". Not the Mexican variety tortilla we expect in stateside restaurants and supermarkets, a tortilla in Spain is an omelette made with eggs and potatoes, resembling a very thick piece of quiche the size of a slice of pie. The tortilla de patatas (€2.50), two slices actually, were light yet savory and delicious. Anna had recommended the Gambas al Pil Pil (€9), an Andalucian specialty with prawns baked in a sauce of olive oil, garlic, and chili peppers accompanied by fresh bread for dipping. The ceramic dish came to me still bubbling with 12 small shrimp, slices of garlic, and a few diced red chili peppers. The fresh sliced baguette easily soaked up the decadent garlic infused oil, raising my cholesterol level by several hundred points. I have to admit that this was one of the best dishes I have had in quite a while. The service was impeccable, attentive and friendly, always there when needed but not suffocating. I had no idea how much the check would be when it arrived and when it did, I was shocked! Just €16.10 (less than $18) for three glasses of wonderful wine, s starter and a main course, while enjoying excellent, traditional Spanish melodies - what more could I ask for? Unfortunately, my wife was unable to accompany me on this trip, but even still, this was one of the most enjoyable, affordable dining experiences I have had in quite a while and I will return before leaving Marbella ... sorry honey! I always hesitate before giving the maximum score to any establishment, but I honestly could not find a fault to deduct even a single "bomb", hence ...

We sat inside downstairs; there is also an upstairs. It was a very cold night. We were the only ones speaking English. The walls had tile halfway up. A large refrigerator sat in the dining room. Totally a homey mom and pop type place- loved it! Our waiter brought out bread and olives immediately. They also brought out a dish on the house. It was a light salad of chopped tomatoes, onion, cucumber, green bell pepper, in a light vinaigrette. We ordered the octopus, a whole grilled fish, and milhojas for dessert. He brought out the raw fish to explain what was available and the preparation. The grilled sardines were fantastic. They were large and there were a lot (6) to an order. The octopus was also good and not rubbery. The whole fresh fish was amazing. It was cooked to perfection and the serving was such that it was easy to get at it. The french fries were incredible. I did not want to eat them but they were so crunchy! I had to ask the secret. He said they start with a fresh potato. Nothing frozen here!! They also served sliced tomatoes (6 quarter sliced for the three of us) seasoned with a drizzling of a fresh parsley pesto. The dessert was pre-cut. The fresh cream in-between layers of a chewy pastry was Napoleon-like. We were served a liquor also after our dessert. This restaurant is in my friends' permanent rotation. I would recommend it for a casual night out with fresh seafood. Awesome!

Fortunately, a short walk from my hotel, I heard the dulcet tones of ITV's rugby commentators and I found Home Bar open for business with several Brits and Frenchmen parked on the comfortable sofas in front of the wide screen TV The charming Irish owner sorted me out an orange juice and I joined my fellow rugby fans. He said to pay at the end. I had to keep my head a bit low as I seemed to be alone in supporting the All Blacks. At half time, soft white rolls appeared at the bar together with freshly cooked sausages and bacon. Patrons were invited to make our own breakfast baps, finishing off with ketchup or brown sauce. Happily, my team squeaked home by one point. There was a lovely family atmosphere, aided by the owner's little daughter running round. This felt watching the game at a good mate's house and what better praise can there be for an Irish sports bar?
