JUST A SUGGESTION....
Wouldn't it be useful if we could post items like the craft fair on all the
A Spanish Life sites at one go. It's very laborious to have to enter info on each site...or am I missing something?
MUSIC, ART AND CRAFT FAIR
This will be at Casa la Pedrera on 4th and 5th June. See www.thingstodoinspain.info for more information
ALFIES DOCK
Hi all
Just wanted to let you know about a fun experience we've had recently at La Mata. On Wednesdays (market day) and at the end of the market (beach front) there is a hotel. On the outside patio of the hotel "Alfies dock" is located. This consists of un upturned boat grilling sardines and large gambas. along with this there is a guy playing keyboard, singing and entertaining, he provides something for every nationality and its a great atmosphere. It gets very busy and if your there after 11.30 am your unlikely to get a seat.The hotel also offers a varied menu but the fresh fish from "Alfies dock" seems very popular. We've been twice and had a great time. Might be something you want to try or direct your guests to. Have fun !!!!
I am going to have a little look for it tomorrow, will let you know if I could find it!

Found it! Lovely place, Lovely Sardines & Vino! We will be going back. Thanks for the info - I love finding new places to visit.
Alfie's dock would be a lovely place to go of an evening and watch the sun go down.

Looking at the sea, head left. At the end of the bay is Alfies dock, along with a few other quirky little bars.

We saw it just over a month ago on market day & it looked really great. Only trouble is smelling sardines being bbq'd makes me want to retch! My husband loves them but would never order sardines when with me. Trouble is he orders anything BUT sardines &, more often than not, others order sardines anyway. (ANY cafe I'm talking about).
Hi Blogwriter
you might be happier going into the hotel for smething to eat,as they have an extensive menu besides the sardine boat, it just that I found the experience of sitting out on the terrace and joining in the fun a really lovely way to idle away some free time so I do hope you get a chance to try again.
Hi
Would love to try this too, what's the name of the hotel it situated in or a bar it's close too.
Thanks
whats the name
im sorry I dont know the name of the hotel but you cant miss it, just go to the end beach/sea front end of the market and you will see evryone gravitating towards it, plus you will hear the entertainment, sorry i cant be more specific but it is very easy to find , do enjoy
I would definitely want to sit on the terrace even if it means a peg on my nose! Sitting inside would not be an option.
We sat near 'Alfies Dock' yesterday at 5pm at Asturianas, where you sit at tables in the sand. It does have its name 'Alfies Dock' alongside it. Certainly, on a Wednesday you can't miss it. Come out of the market at the beach, turn right, it is there on your right. if you miss it you're blind & your sense of smell non existant :-)
Hi to all you alfies dock fans !
I wanted to say Im so pleased your getting a chance to check this place out. I only wish id been on commission for the recomendation as judging by the response you all seem to be getting a good feel for the place. I wont get back there myself unitl september (aaahhh) but I will enjoy reading all of your comments in the meantime
Hi Sue
ive only been on a wed and i would guess the entertainment guy might just be available on wednesdays as the place is so busy with the market therfore he has a captive audience and to be honest I think the entertainment makes the whole experience what it is. Im guessing the place is open all week but it would be interesting to find out more .

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to GL. I ordered 2 of her books from Amazon, they arrived within a few days. GL then met me for a coffee in Catral town centre and personally signed them for me. 2 great Xmas pressies already orgainised! (I will be reading one first though!) Thanks GL for a great afternoon.
Hi GL, My kids are really into karate and they love magical stories and all that stuff! So I have had a look at your website and I must say the video was really great. I have ordered 2 books from Tesco online and will pick them up from the UK when I am back there. Is there any chance I could get them signed as a surprise for my kids? I know its cheeky and you are probably really busy but if its possible that would be great. Thank you so much.
Hi Joe, it would be my pleasure. If you email me on [email protected] when you have them we can arrange a time and day. GL.xx
Hi GL, just wanted to say thanks once again for meeting me to sign your books for my kids. I couldn´t wait until Christmas so they have had them early! My 9 year old has already finished it and really loved it. He wants to know about the next one!! Thank you for you time.

Hi Sue I understand that it would be a lot better for businesses to post on one site and have it seen on all the other forums, the problem is that it is open to abuse and even though businesses are allowed to advertise I do not want the forum to become just a bill board. Also we are opening up in areas up and down the coast and some of the adverts would not be relevant to people in the north or south of Spain. But I will take your comments on board and see if I can come up with something.
