Tito’s Beach Bar, Mojacar Playa

1 Nov

Sunday afternoon and we have planned to go down to Mojacar Beach to meet up with some friends at Tito’s one of the beach bars there. This is the last Sunday opening until the spring and it is packed with regulars and visitors. Today they have some live music and a belly dancer (gorgeous looking, bet she can’t cook!) for our entertainment. It is lively and buzzy and everyone is out to enjoy themselves. The weather is still very mild, and was blustery when we left home, but not here on the beach. The sea is calm and there are a few fluffy white clouds in the sky – we aren’t wearing jackets yet and some of us are in T shirts still.

The menu at Tito’s is reliably good with some really delicious dishes on offer. Fresh mussels and sardines are the order of the day to start together with a huge salad for all of us. I choose lamb kebabs for my main course, other choices are chicken tempura (massive), mushroom risotto (just with as much gloop as it should have) and Dorada (see bream) grilled until the skin is just slightly blackened and crispy. I am not driving today (Mick drew the short straw!) and so I glug some fresh, white wine down very happily. We take a look at the dessert menu, which I have no intention of ordering……. Until I see chocolate brownie with ice cream which I immediately order and share with Mick. It is divine. We order coffees and more wine with the entertainment, a couple of really good guitarists and the beautiful belly dancer.

It is Halloween and all the kids are out in costume scaring everyone and having fun – the clocks have gone back and so I suddenly realise is getting dark and is now gone 7 o’clock! We have to go and check on the mutts as we don’t like leaving them for too long by themselves.

What a fantastic last day of summer we have had – and it is November on Monday!

If any of you reading this come next spring, go to Tito’s for a drink at night or a Sunday lunch – you will always have a good time.

Playa Macenas Beach and Golf Resort

The Almerian climate is perfect for golf lovers and as you’d expect we have many beautiful courses in the local area. Desert Springs and Valle del Este are both less than 20 minutes away from the Cortijo and are well used throughout the year. We’ve reviewed them both already on Yummy Almeria Playa Macenas is a […]
La Capilla Restaurant, Mojacar

This surely is one of the prettiest venues in the region – it is a converted Chapel and is gorgeous both inside and out. We went recently, just before the heat of the summer, for lunch and it was really excellent. La Capilla is on the road that joins Los Gallardos and Garrucha so it’s […]
Casa Joya Restaurant, Velez Rubio

Summer has well and truly arrived for us – you can tell as we have had a stream of visitors which means that we are again searching out new and fabulous places to take them! One of these is Casa Joya – their website is here. We can’t claim the credit for finding it – […]
Meson Villarejo Restaurant, Puerto Lumbreras.

Sunday lunch has always been a special time for Spanish people when they take time to get together as a family and enjoy some well earned time off. Last Sunday, we took a trip north from us to Puerto Lumbreras to visit the outstanding Meson Villarejo restaurant. It’s an easy 35 km drive from us so it’s […]
Easter Simnel Cake

Since I have been on a diet (yawn) my baking activities have become somewhat depleted, but as I have guests, I thought I should make an effort for easter and so baked a Simnel Cake – great fun, easy peasy and I bet you have most of the ingredients in your store cupboard. I didn’t […]
