Lets take a look at Quinto Del Largo

It was mixed weather this morning and so we decided that we needed to do a little bit of shopping it would also be good to drive around the area to get an idea where we are. Well it became very obvious we are in a very expensive area of Amancil and with some really amazing houses and apartment blocks and the amount of new building taking place was most impressive. There are some really amazing houses which I guess run into the multi million pound mark and those with sea views would no doubt be more. There is an impressive amount of work for gardeners in this ear with huge garden after huge garden and with very little if no security which is very different to place in Spain.


We came across the lake beachside bar called the Shack which somebody we had met over dinner had recommended and it was quite busy although it was not particularly warm but it was within walking distance of the apartment we are staying in.


So before shopping time was moving on and it was near to 13.30 and so we thought lets go for lunch in the Irish Pub called the Cheeky Pup  but when we got to the Mall the parking was horrendous and everything seemed full and then we spotted one space and so snuck in there. In view of the parking issues we thought the Irish Bar would be packed but we were oh so wrong and we had a huge choice where to sit. Noel chose the Fish and Chips and Jennifer the daily special with was carrot soup with spinach, an unusual combination but it tasted great, followed by a massive plate of food containing Tempura made from John Dory fish, with rice and a salad and half a melon for desert and by which time Jen was full, no tea tonite then.

We did our shopping and then headed back to the apartment for a brief rest and then in the evening watched the last few episodes of the Netflix F1 series called ‘Drive to Survive’ which we enjoyed and then headed off to bed.
