Its called 'Restaurante-Casa Rufino' and is one of the best we have tried in this area. If you just head for the beach it is on the left hand side just as you come to the beachfront. I wouldn't call it cheap, but for a special occasion its worth a visit. Will no doubt see you around during your next visit, regards Bryony.

Hi Bryony - hmmm looking forward to it... all the stomach juices are flowing - I lost 4 pounds in the first week and the next weekly weigh in is next Monday... hoping for 6 in all by then, and nearly half way - all this 'resto-talk' is giving me heaven and hell! Heaven as Ive got a lot to look forward too - hell as its tempting to crack open a cold beer and nip down the local resto for a nosh-up! (diet = no booze either ... hell :) )

Ive got an open email with cut'n'pastes of al the restos so far on the thread that we havent tried - just added yours. Then Ill email myself.

See you soon in our intercomunity...
All the best
Jon

[QUOTE=Jon-Bxl;8532573]Hi Sorry to sound silly but - if its in VILLA NOVA DE CACELA (inland) then I dont see how there can be a sea view from the terrace (that I saw on another post) - whereas CACELA VELHA (a beautiful little village) would have sea views.

Jon I do not tell lies,
believe me you can see the sea.
I understand your confusion as I also believed the park would be the wrong side of the road for sea views.

We will definitely be there Sunday again for the barbeque after a swim in the pool whilst enjoying the sea view all for 7euros.

Hi Sue

Thanks for the clarification - Sounds like Sunday is BBQ day - and the rest are normal resto menus.... will definately give it a try - thanks

BTW I would never , even dream, that you are telling porkies... oh no I just said 'pork' - cant get food out of my mind :)

There´s also a crafts fair on Saturday at Sergio & Nicol´s place, the reason for the seaviews is because the restaurant is on a hill.............

We always park that end of town,either past Eroski oppisite the Zoo and park.or over the road behind the shops and flats,along the marina side. No meters and a nice walk into town,Plus no irritating Parking Marshalls!!,not that i pay them when i do park near them?.

We went to visit a friend in that neck of the woods today and lo and behold there was a good sea view but about 5k away.

Off the food topic... but I fear they will dammage the hire car if we don't pay.
We either sneak on when they are not there or go in the Car Park or walk from the Bus Station area. Why are they still there now it is pay and display? The Police should shift them.
