INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA
I would love to find out some more information about Guardamar and where the best places to eat are. I have been coming to Spain for years and we always visit the town but as I can not find any info in English I always feel we are missing out. I know where the beach is but what about the nature reserve that I have heard about or the marina. Could anyone help please we are over in 2 weeks time. I have only just found this site but it looks a bit new so not much help at the moment. So I hope someone is out their.
Hi Tina
There are two nature reserves next to each other Parque Reina Sofia & Parque Alfonso XIII. This link will show you where they are in relation to Guardamar http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=gauardamar+del+segura,+Spain&aq=&sll=45.614037,8.745117&sspn=16.319831,33.881836&ie=UTF8&ll=38.102617,-0.652828&spn=0.035864,0.066175&z=14 . This link will also show you how to get to the Port. Basically you need to take the most northerly turn off from N332 to Guardamar. This turning is at the junction with the CV 910. hope this helps. What sort of restaurants are you looking for?

EATING PLACES
Hi there plenty of nice pubs where u can eat at the Filton center, also upstairs theres Jakki´s hair, nail and beauty we do minx nails which are great on your toes this time of year, so if u have time pop up and see us come as a client leave as a friend
CONVERSATION GROUP
Does anybody know of a good Spanish conversation group, don't seem to get too much practice in Quesada ..... sue
Berlingua (near Coopers) have a conversation class on Tuesday lunch times. Apart from that I don't know of any. However, if you do find another one, please let me know - I like to get as much practice as I can when I come over for visits.
Hi, there is a conversation group running in the university at Elche, Toastmasters International hold meetings in Spanish in Alicante and we will be starting a new one in Spanish in Mononlo´s Restaurant Doña Pepe Open Evening is the 8thApril 6-8pm.
I used to run a conversation group in Quesada and am quite happy to do it again if there is the interest.
Linda
Is the one in Manolo's going to be one that you can "drop in and out of" - I only come to Spain for a few months a year - and was the one that you ran, Linda, run along the same lines? I haven't got a car, but Manolo's is within a 20 min walk for me. What part of Quesada are you in Linda?
Linda, I would be intereted in joining a conversation group too. Like Spanglish though, I don't live here all the year round. Can you give me a bit more information re what the event at Manolos is please?
thanks
It's a shame that there has been no further response to this thread - it was starting to look very interesting!
We need to try to do something with this as I am also interested and have been waiting for information as to how to take it forward. Any ideas anyone?
I think that it might be a good idea to contact Manolol's and ask about the exact level of the classes, and how big the class will be. I have their e-mail contact address. However, on another front it might be useful to find out how many people would be interested in a conversation class. I used to go to an informal one, in England. There were 8 members in the group, and we took it in turn to meet in someone's home. The problem all round (as with myself) is that some/many of the people interested may not be resident in Spain throughout the year
Hi two people have phoned me about the Spanish Conversation Class, need three more to get it going ring me on 966 716 919, don´t worry about your level we can sort that out.
I attend Hablar in Benijofar .. Louise the teacher is excellant and is very flexible .. and reasonable. So you could adapt to what is suitable for you [email protected]
Did this conversation group get off the ground (Linda's) - only I haven't seen any more about it?
Hi all
Only received 1 phone call about conversation classes, still willing to do them at Manolo´s Restaurant if there are people who want it.
email or call me Linda 966 716 919

BEST PLACE TO EAT
With so many places to eat and so much fantastic advise (thanks everyone)(see my earlier post) we have decided that we will be going to two places to celebrate. First we are going to go to Veloriens and then the next night we will go to the Banana Tree. I will let you all know if it was the right choice.
But I have made a list of all the places that have been recommended and am going to make it my personal mission to eat at all of them this year.
These are the places that have been voted as the best around and that I will be eating at all of them.
Restaurante Manolo (Lo Marabu)
Wok (Quesada)
Goyo´s (Quesada)
The Spice Hut (Quesada)
Frissan (San Miguel)
Argentinian (Quesada)
Parkside (Los Montesinos)
Portico Mar (Guadamar)
Let's Eat (Benimar)
Porticomar (Guardamar)
El Gusto (Benijofar)
Viloriens (Rojales)
Portico Mar (Guadamar)
Chinatown Laguna (Quesada)
Go to Sinfonia Roma the Italian by the Laguna hotel next door to the Chinese, China Town, already noted. It's excellent, big portions & very cheap we think for their MDD/MDN 3 course meals (yes lunchtime AND evenings from 8€ +IVA. inc a drink).
Go to Restaurant EL RASO on the El Raso urb, lemon tree road, only 6.50€ for a 3 course lunch Monday to Friday inc a drink, for bread, alioli, salad & 3 courses. Evenings are 12.90€ for a great meal. Entertainment some weekends, check them out.
We use both regularly.
For The Best Fish And Chips In The World you have to visit The Inn Plaice In Torrevieja call 678 571 117 for details...........................
Best Fish and Chips In The World also have Scottish Black Pudding - Haggis and White Pudding THE REAL STUFF....................... FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry but I have to say that we had some tak away food from the Sinfonia Roma and it was so bad the dog would not eat it.
I can see you have a great number of places to eat! It is very good but Portico Mar is listed 3 times. The Black Bull Torremendo is also very good and on Sunday Apr 17 The Charity Paul Cunningham Nurses have arranged a Carvery and Dance there starting at 7.30p.m. anyone interested in tickets should call or email Susan om 966 713 503 629 869 959 or send an email to [email protected]
There is another place also where the food is fantastic. The new minigolf of rojales. It is between the mercadona and the golf course.
I would say the best Fish & Chips I have had is from Our Plaice La Marina urb, large fresh meals everytime.........and THE BEST curry sauce!
The Inn Plaice Torrevieja has Real Scottish Black Pudding Real Chip Shop Haggis and 2 curry sauces the Hot One is Simply the best around you must try The Inn Plaice they have clients who pass other chip shops and travel for miles to get THE BEST !
If you think you have tasted the best you have not yet been to THE INN PLAICE
Hi Dave. There are a lot of great places to eat in Catral, whether you want English, Indian or traditional Spanish. Most of our bars do amazing tapas which are a meal in themselves! Its hard to choose just 1. I would go to the main high street and just walk along and look at them all. I did this the first time and chose the one that smelt the best!lol. I have never been disappointed. Regarding a hire car the nearest place I know of is in Quesada...Coys rent a car. I would book up quick though as its easter. I hope this helps.
