Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
It's 2.30am and I've just rolled in, I'm chilling with a glass of Rioja. Just like to say thank you to everybody for the good wishes.
To those of you who have been down for a bite to eat or a drink thank you for your support and I am glad that you enjoyed yourselves. I look forward to meeting many more from the forum. If you can't see me when you come in, I'll probably be in the kitchen pulling my hair out (or the cook's).
But seriously, your patience is very much appreciated during this teething period.
Once again thanks for all your good wishes and support.

The second course is open to members on Tuesday's, Thursdays & Saturdays, but these days can change at short notice. We managed to borrow a buggy and take a drive round Golf II and took plenty of photos. As you will see from the photos, there are more horses playing the course than humans!!
1st time uploading photos, so here goes...

Oh and forgot to mention..from what I saw, you will need plenty of spare balls to get round this one. This takes target golf to another level....??
Enjoy!!

We, Fer and me, had a very very good time with Kim & Nigel and Jon & Catherine. We really enjoyed that day and I am looking forwards to meeting all again and share another bottle of wine
My house is very near John, is just in front of him.

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
Fadesa are having a launch of the new commercial centre at the golf clubhouse 11 July,so presume its still on target to open this year?.
welldone Spain was out for all the games fantastic atmosphere (except the night we watched the second half in the club house they turned the tv off at 10.30 even though the game went to extra time and penalties),it seems odd that even now in the summer they still want to shut early missing out on good business?.
Hi to Jag/John Bxl and ears who we met by chance while out there all great company and really enjoyed the nights spent in bar street, taxi's are no problem its 10 euro's into town and can get one home upto about 3 in the morning!!.
We were there for 10 days this time and it was fantastic weather unreal the place just keeps getting better.we overlook the new East course so seen quite a few playing looks very good bit to hot for golf though.
They were bringing some pipeline into the site from the shed end work still going on its a big job temp lights at either end not sure what its for though?.
Took some pics of various things on CE so enjoy.

Thanks 'Teed up' for all the time together last week and also for putting up with our 'lads weekend' as well.... it was great to meet you both. Looks like you got home safely....
We had a great time and the atmosphere of Spain winning both the Semis and final was fantastic and added a great cherry on the cake for our annual lads get together.
Id like to recommend a good place to eat as well. its the beach next to Praia Verde that everyone knows. Praia Verde is excellent of course, but if you want a bit more down to earth eating, there are 2 restos on the beach there. Sem Espinhas and O pescador. Sem's weve tried several times and get great service right on the beach... Next week we try O pescador. Take the 2nd exit after the bridge direction Monte Gordo. At the main road T junction turn left. Pass Praia verde on the right, and take the NEXT right towards Cabeco signposted on a brown sign. Keep going straight following the red/blue Sem Espinhas signs, even when the road gets rough in a development.. keep on the road till you get to the beach....
Back to the footie, we saw the semis with Teed-up in Jags great new place. But the final had to be in a local Spanish bar - where we got early to get a place. What a laugh we had, and no trouble at all - just a lot of people having fun.
See photo's...
Weather fantastic, hot but there is often a breeze/wind that helps.. and great food in Spain/Portugal.
Having a blast here and I think it can only get better over the next few years, even with the recession
Regards
Jon

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
It's Puerta Nueva on c/ Medico Rey Garcia, the street with the theatre, market and where the old Port Tavern used to be.
The bar used to be a cerveceria with beer taps on every table. These are now gone as he needed the room. Well worth the visit, and by his own admission, he's starting slow so as to build up the menu to what he wants. However, if that's the quality of a 'slow' start, I can't wait to see it when it's firing on all cylinders.
He will soon be doing deliveries which is good news.

The curries are genuine Indian curries made from his mum-in-law's recipes. You should also try the samosas and chana as well...
He also keeps a Spanish Tapas menu to keep a good mix of locals as well..
Also the cooks are morrocan - Jag tried the lunches they made for themselves and realised that they should also be on the menu.. so he plans a dailyu morrocan special as well... Im the first for a good lamb tajine, loads of garlic and tomato.... hmmmmmmmmmm!
Hes in start up phase about to launch a new menu and soon a take away too.... Im sure all will work out well.
I was also priviledged to meet his family there too so had a very pleasant evening over beer and curry over there....
Good luck Jag + see you soon, thanks
