Hi Everyone, Just like to say thanks to Ian for starting this new forum with all the excellent info on it.

We do have a few spaces on our books if there are any ladies out there who wish to join us. The Ladies club is every Tuesday from 2-4pm at the Hillside Bar,Calle Bilbao. See you there.

VILLA ROYAL - PROPERTY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE SERVICE
Hi All
I wanted to let you all know about this terrific service. We are currently using this family run service and they have been a god send on many levels including cleaning - laundry - emergency contact - key holding - building works - pool maintenance - grocery shopping, infact just about everything we could need for ourselves and our guests (as non resident property owners on Quesada). They have given us so much peace of mind and nothing is too much trouble for them. They don't do this for bit of pocket money hence they are very reliable.
Spanish and English speaking they have even helped us with telephone installation, T.V Electricity account, you name it.
I have been a property owner/renter on Quesada for 7 years now so I have a lot of experience in the pitfalls of villa management for the non resident.
Worth their weight in gold this family and reasonably priced, I highly recommend their service especially if your sick of being ripped off by not so reliable services
you can ring them on
tel/fax +34 96 678 9229
mobile +34 622 219 551
Infact I believe theyve just started to advertise on this site

A Great Way To Spend A Saturday
Afternoon.
Has anyone else been to El Mundo? Whats it like, is the food nice and does it have an atmosphere, plus what are the prices like? I believe they have different kinds of entertainment, has anybody been there and have any comments? Thanks
We went to the Thursday Curry Night a couple of months ago and we thoroughly enjoyed the variety of different types of currys. The nice thing about it was you could go up as many times as you liked and fill up. 3 courses all for 8.95, which for us was fantastic value for money and we will be going back again.
Man Utd 2-1Chelsea
Fantastic result for the boys, came out like a speed train, controlled the game and could have won it by many more. Truly wonderful feeling for all you United fans out there. 1 more point and the the 19th title is ours. Well done to everyone connected to Man United.
Hillside Sports Centre
Hi All
Just wanted to let you know that we have just got home from an excellent evening at Hillside Sports Centre on La Marina urbanisation. We thought there were going to be 6 of us tonight on our table, but extra friends arrived and in total there were 12 of us - a brilliant night was had by all. The venue was absolutely packed. Thank's everyone for such a great fun night !!! xxx

We did not know it was Kevin singing last night or we would have been there. The paper and the computer said it was someone else A Very disgruntled Eve.
I would just like to that I had a fabulous night out with you all. I would also like to say hello to this new forum and let’s hope it goes from strength to strength.
Tapas
I am sure everyone knows about this place but just in case....we went to Bar Sonia yesterday for tapas and it was delicious!! We sat outside which is nice apart from the passing traffic which at times seems to be travelling very fast and makes the awning shake somewhat. We chose from the menu (which is in English if required) - we had boquerones (little pickled fish), saquitos (parcels of prawn, veg or cheese), chorizo sausage, pork in tomato (so tender!), patatas bravas, salad and bread with alioli and tomato....we like a selection and then we all dip in!! The price was reasonable, the drinks cheap and the staff very friendly. Definitely a place to go again.
I know this Bar well!! It is on the main road through Benijofar on the left just past the Citreon garage (as you drive from Quesada). It has an awning outside. Yummy tapas, nice atmostphere and nice, friendly staff. I would recommend it also.
Thanks for the info on Sonia's, Bev. We pass by often but rarely see anyone sitting outside.
When members say 'the price was reasonable, drinks cheap' what do you call 'reasonable & cheap'? From experience I know some would say somewhere is reasonable & my husband & I would look at each other thinking 'HOW MUCH?????' though I'm sure tapas won't break the bank whatever the price. :-)
We shall go & thank you again for the recommendation.
We watched the Barcelona/Madrid game here last week. There were 6 of us and we had 1 x pizza, 2 x meals, 2 x bocadillos, 4 x tapas dishes, bread and allioli, and around 2/3 drinks each and the bill was 45€. The bocadillos are excellent value at between 2,50 and 3,00 each - my girls had chicken, bacon and mayo in theirs. For the meals one of us had pork chops and I had chorizo and bacon - both served with chips and eggs!! I think mine was 3,50 and the other was 4,50. We were pleased with the bill and I too would say the prices are reasonable!!
