We are spoilt for places to eat and drink in and around Cuevas – we have everything from a funny Spanish “pub” in Cuevas (it is the nearest thing we have to a proper Irish pub, but it is very Spanish!) to beach bars and restaurants, which you know I feature regularly, but both in and out of season. Mi Casa is a gorgeous bar near us which is part of a small hotel on one side of the road, and a restaurant/bar on the other! It has recently been refurbished and now the interior could actually be a bar in any big city so chicly has it been done. In the summer there is a long terrace facing the road but still lovely as it is shady and is surrounded by plants and trees and you can watch the world go by.
We call the owner Tommy Lee (as he reminds us of the actor!) – he is lovely and usually can be found about the place. It is about a 6 minute drive from the house (2 of those are on our track!) and is just a great place to have a well earned, end of work, end of the week drink. They do a mean gin and tonic over loads of ice or a chilled glass of wine or beer.
The restaurant is great too, though I feel a little on the pricey side, but then as said, it is a bit more sophis than usual for around here. The food is excellent though, they always have a great selection of fish, shellfish or meat, salads or just have a tapa or two in the bar or on the terrace.
Next time we have a night off I think we will mosey on down there. We especially love this photo of Mi Casa from 1973.
