Casares Holiday | Day Seventeen
Posted on | August 21, 2009 | No Comments
We finally managed to get Nelson out of bed – all that skimboarding is wearing him out! Down to Casares Beach which we all agree, apart from Puerto Banus, is our favourite where it’s more of the same. Swimming, reading, tanning, skimboarding (Nelson, not us, it’s harder than it looks!) Up to the Chiringuito for a “cafe con leche” or a small beer”, back to the beach for more of the same.
We are at the stage of the holiday where we are counting the days left, and we ONLY want to do things we know we will enjoy, the time for experimenting is past.

They said, just go up and sit at the tables and someone will come out and bring you food, there is a “plat de jour” for 10 euros a head.
[singlepic id=198 w=320 h=240 float=]We found it, sat down, and ordered from the very sweet waitress. Unfortunately the place was full of English with only one Spanish family up there but we did have a laugh as it was not exactly fine dining with one of the English familie’s border collie cocking his leg on the wall by us, and then trying to scratch grass all over us!
Well, I don’t know if we just didn’t pick the right stuff on the menu, but apart from the sizzling chorizo, we just didn’t like it. Very high on chips and low on Spanish tapas.
The whole evening totally didn’t do the dress Susanne had on, justice!
Back down to the square where a couple of the bars were quite busy, but our usual was a bit quiet so we decided to all have an early night – much needed by the way!
