Sunday Lunch Estepona Port

[RichardCoeurdeLion]

I thought me amd Big John could go to the Sunday Market then have a bite in the Port.

Been a while since I've been.

Anyone have a particular fave?

The chinese on the front is good or if you fancy Indian then up a level the Indian is good.

Thanks Scotty

How about Non Chinese/Indian?

[Trooperman]

Yup, it's me again!!!

If I were in Estepona I would take a trip towards Casares and the Venta Garcia which is at the end of the road that runs from Estepona industrial estate (where the ITV place is) inland....about a 10 minute drive from the port.

Thanks Troop I'll have a look on googlemaps. I think I know the road you mean.

[RichardCoeurdeLion]

On google maps, the road I think it's on is just a feint line.

I recall at the roundabout just by the top end of the Estepona industrial estate, there is a road signposted to Casares. Is that the one you take?

[RichardCoeurdeLion]

Managed to look on google street view at that roundabout complex and saw a purple sign to Casares, so I guess that is the road!

[Trooperman]

Yes At the roundabout (which goes over the motorway) there is a sign for Casares and, I think, a word like "camino" - suggesting it's a country road. The roundabout is very complex (as they often are!!!).
Another way to get there is to carry on along the coast road (not the motorway - the old dual carriageway) until you get to Casares beach and then turn inland at that roundabout, passing the Finca Cortesin golf complex/expensive villas and just follow that road until it meets the one I've mentioned above et voila there's the Venta Garcia

[RichardCoeurdeLion]

Thanks troop. The roundabout at Casares Beach.... do you mean the one with a folly like a castle/giant chess piece on the RHS as you approach from Estepona.


BTW.......... is Venta Garcia open every day?

[Trooperman]

Yes. I think there is such a castle....and off to the right, a gas station and, nowadays, umpteen signs for Finca Cortesin Golf.

Venta Garcia does close one day a week - not sure if it's Wednesday or not?

952 89 41 91 is their number - a reservation may be needed on a busy day.

The road from Estepona poligono roundabout on google is labelled "Camino Casares Jubrique)and the road from Casares Beach (Casares Bahia on Google) is labelled MA8300

[RichardCoeurdeLion]

Thanks Troop

I rang them

They are closed on Mondays

I found it ok, on my meanderings, and was gutted to see that Madeline Bell sang there on the friday that I arrived. I would have gone up there. To see her in an intimate setting like that would have been fab.
