We´re taking a trip to El Puerto this week to see Las Piratas del Caribe in the cinemas there - someone has told me that the cinemas in El Puerto are really special (don´t know why or even if it´s true so we´re going to find out!). You been? I guess it´ll be the same as Jerez in that they only show films dubbed into Spanish (my pet hate).

We have not been to the cinema yet, but we go to the bowling alley there and the childrens play room for mad spanish childrens birthday partys. Yes my hubby does work at the school there. Good luck with the house move, I have just come back from up there for a BBQ this afternoon. And I have a few friends who live in the flats opposite el corte.

They´ve put it right next door to Juanitos....somewhere famous locally for its good quality. And then someone has the audacity to put what is basically a glorified fish n chip shop right next door.

Are there really enough Brits in Jerez to keep this kind of restaurant afloat? I really don´t think so. And I can´t see many Spaniards going there given the reputation British food has.

I give it to the end of 2007 before it dies a slow and painful death.

We had heard about Churchills from some brit friends who cant seem to let go, so that makes sense now, thanks for that.

Crispy brit food, that makes me laugh. I have finally reached the point when I can manage with all spanish, I am the most surprised believe me. I have let go and moved on. Hooray!

I have now mastered quite well actually, needs must and I do like a good ruby once in a while. I have not been to the japenese, but again I have taught myself the art of sushi with surprisingly good results.
I picked up the latest resturant guide from the Tourist office, it is actually worth getting, good info in it.
I will keep you posted on Churchils, perhaps I may go so I can report back

There used to be an indian in El Puerto years ago, but it closed down because nobody ever went there. If the new one is equally as bad it is probably doomed to the same fate which is a shame....it´s been years since I had a good ruby!

I could now make you really jealous by telling my you my friends have a tandoori oven in their garden in Jerez! And we are going there on friday for a tandoori night!
I must admit when I go to see my mates in Estaponia I will go for an indian, then I dont have to wash up after cooking!
