English Butchers
There is an English butchers opening in the New Year near the bottom of El Marquesado road just a short distance from the Opel Garage and not far from the roundabout...
No excuses now for not making good old fashioned Liver and Onions!!

Not entirely convinced with the "Spanish meat is better" argument. Like in many butchers it depends. In general I find steak not as good as a nice Aberdeen Angus or even beef from France

This is one of the reasons that there is so much good imported beef in Spain particularly from South America.

I will definitely pay him a visit Mitzipurr and see what he has to offer and how it compares. Hope he will make sausages and pasties. Let us know what you think if you get there first.
