DRIVING RANGE

Is there a driving range near to Quesada or Rojales that i can take our 8 year old son?

Quesada

there is a driving range at la Marquesa golf club in Quesada, also at la Finca (Algorfa) and Vistabella. on all of them you can can get a bucket of balls for a euro and they also have a putting green which you can use for free. if you want a golf lesson for a child/junior I can reccomend pasqual jimenez at la Marquesa.

McMarisco - New Restaurant

I was wondering if any of our members have tried the new McMarisco Spanish Restaurant in the grey area (next to the Ferratera). On Wednesday evening I was driving by and saw a lot of people sitting at the tables and there was live entertainment ! Does anybody know what the food is like and whether the entertainment is on any other evenings? Thank you so very much

La Marina

I have been told that the entertainment is outside is this correct?

Commented Ian in La Marina 2011-07-15 15:57:22 UTC

I have, It's not for an evening meal, small portions and high prices, food was ok but had to go somewhere else after because we were still hungry. It's more of a tapas kinda place.

Thank you Becki for the feedback. I was going to take our next week visitors there as they had entertainment as well as food, but if portions are small they will not get my custom. That is a shame as finding places with entertainment where you sit out side is so hard to find these days.

Thank you so very much for your informative reply Becki. I do not think I will be dining at the restaurant. Perhaps it may be ok for one to call in for a glass of wine at the end of an evening out somewhere else (depending on the price of course)!

If you want to try a fantastic Spanish Restaurant in the Grey area, you cannot beat Rammons, wonderful food especially their steaks and welcoming staff, (you will have to book in advance)

Cagney's Bar

What another great night last night, we went to Cagney's bar to watch an Eagles Tribute band from 6pm - 9pm they were fantastic, we also have excellent food and brilliant meals for the children too, plus a pint of lager was only 1 euro and a large glass of wine was only 1 euro - highly recommended.


Sounds good. We've actually never been to Cagneys. I like the sound of a large glass of wine for 1 euro. Must try it some time !

Commented Carol in La Marina 2011-07-18 11:34:33 UTC

It was excellent Carol and we were outside too and I am sure theywould have sweet wine just for you x

Commented Linda Reed in La Marina 2011-07-18 18:32:48 UTC

I agree with you Linda as we were there and it was a great afternoon off for me & Lisa . cagneys is a very popular bar and they have some good ideas as Sunday proved when we had fantastic entertainment in the Eagles tribute. Drinks and food are good and very reasonably priced. I will be performing there on Sunday, 31st July and look forward to a great afternoon with you all.Carol, they do have sweet wine for you!!!

(It's only approximately a 20/25 mins drive from La Marina) !!

La Marina

So which would be the best route to take from the Urb Carol? Do you know what activities they have for the children to do?

Commented Linda Reed in La Marina 2011-07-18 07:42:07 UTC

Go off the urbanisation and drive in the direction of Quesada. Take the road towards Torrevieja, turn right at the roundabout that says Montesinos. When you get in to Montesinos turn left at the 2nd set of traffic lights - follow that road for about 1and a half miles and it is on your right. The main thing is a huge swimming pool and horse riding !! Plenty of room for them to run around Linda......

Commented Carol in La Marina 2011-07-18 08:47:03 UTC

OOOOhhhhh soooo glad we have made arrangements to go with you two first, at least we will know the way to go.

9 Walkers yesterday, so we were able to walk all the dogs in the small cages and all the puppies, but not the dogs in pen no. 1.

Sunday does tend to have more walkers than the rest of the week and one of the staff Dawn did say they are struggling now most days, as some of the regular dog walkers are on holiday.

Commented Linda Reed in La Marina 2011-07-18 07:51:19 UTC

Linda we also need people to become members of S.A.T. People can find out about that on the website.

Commented Caroline in La Marina 2011-07-18 16:29:36 UTC

Yes Eve, all volunteers welcome, either to walk the dogs or work in the shop x

LOOKING FOR A DENTIST

Can anyone recommend a good English-speaking dentist in Rojales/Quesada area? Many thanks

Quesada

I went to the one beside Howards gym and cannot fault them whatsoever... Highly recommended!

Commented La Luz Bar/Restaurant in La Marina 2011-07-18 13:16:02 UTC

My wife used the dentist opposite the Police Local in Rojales. The dentist doesn`t speak English but the receptionist does and she goes in to translate for you. My wife was very happy with the treatment..

Commented scruggs in Quesada 2011-07-18 16:06:28 UTC

The Arches English Dental Practice next to Howard's Gym in Quesada are the best dentist I've ever had. Maz
