Golfing Day...

Torrequebrada club de golf lies literally next door to where we are staying at the Benalmadena Palace... We had a pre booked tee-off time at 11am... (we were supposed to get a voucher from our hotel, which would of given us a discount, but nobody seemed to know about it...  so we ended up paying 205 euros for the two of us to play with a buggy)... A little different to what we pay around Mazarron...  If you lived here, you would no doubt become a member and pay a different sort of fee...

Anyway, we were ready to play this challenging course... thank goodness for the buggy, up and down each hole we climbed... nice wide holes, beautifully landscaped with abundant palms and fir trees, magnificent views of the sea, challenging greens and lots of bunkers...  For saying that it was our first time here, we both played reasonably well...  Tom and I just love walking around Golf Courses taking in the glorious and natural area of roughly 6 km... they are our 'walk in the park'...

The 19th hole was very much welcomed... the small beer tasted marvellous...

Monday evening, after a couple of hours rest... we ventured out just before sunset... returning to La Nina Restaurant, Plaza de Espana, Benalmadena Puelblo... Reservation 952 44 91 93.  
They advertise themselves as a funky new place where you can enjoy an exciting fusion of aromas and flavours, accompanied by great wines, all served in a modern and vibrant bistro setting.  I can't really add any more, other than to say we totally agree... We ordered their Ribera del Duero house wine, a roble Vega Cubillas that went lovely with our potatoe and coriander soup, pork kashmiri, suckling lamb with garam masala and bombay potatoes...  It was a real pleasure to taste these flavourful dishes...
