I have had great Greek, Italian, and Chinese cuisine in…read moreEstepona but on one particular Sunday afternoon whilst strolling down Calle Caridad, I saw Las Gitanillas and they had paella on the menu posted outside which immediately caught my attention.  Let me cut to the chase, that was the best Paella that I have had in a very long time which paired quite well with a very nice Albariño highly recommended by Javier, one of the servers and family member. After a fabulous meal, I rather enjoy a nice aperitif and so far, Las Gitanillas is the only venue that I have patronized in Estepona that has my favourite, Drambuie.  Manuela, her daughter Gema, and son Javier were the perfect hosts and the epitome of exemplary customer satisfaction. Indeed Las Gitanilllas will be once of the first venues that I patronize for my lite snack and beverages with authority when I visit Estepona next year.

Anna, the bartender at Claddagh Irish Pub in Marbella, turned me on to this new Spanish restaurant…read morejust around the corner. She told me that they had good, authentic Andalucian cuisine, excellent wines, and reasonable prices and she was absolutely right! There was what I would call a "Mariachi" group on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant strumming four guitars and singing familiar songs I have heard many times in Mexican restaurants in California and Texas. I was told that they are called "Tunos" in Spain, but these four gentlemen were much more talented than any Mariachi group I have ever heard. The guitars and voices were melodically synchronized, rendering four part harmonies unrivaled by some of the best barber shop quartets I have heard. They performed non-stop from 9:30pm until nearly 11:30pm when I finally left for my room and they were superb. The waiter spoke English reasonably well, suggesting wines, starters, and a main course. Nothing I ordered was on the menu. He first brought me a glass of Tempranillo, a dark, robust Spanish red wine with hints of oak along with a "tortilla". Not the Mexican variety tortilla we expect in stateside restaurants and supermarkets, a tortilla in Spain is an omelette made with eggs and potatoes, resembling a very thick piece of quiche the size of a slice of pie. The tortilla de patatas (€2.50), two slices actually, were light yet savory and delicious. Anna had recommended the Gambas al Pil Pil (€9), an Andalucian specialty with prawns baked in a sauce of olive oil, garlic, and chili peppers accompanied by fresh bread for dipping. The ceramic dish came to me still bubbling with 12 small shrimp, slices of garlic, and a few diced red chili peppers. The fresh sliced baguette easily soaked up the decadent garlic infused oil, raising my cholesterol level by several hundred points. I have to admit that this was one of the best dishes I have had in quite a while. The service was impeccable, attentive and friendly, always there when needed but not suffocating. I had no idea how much the check would be when it arrived and when it did, I was shocked! Just €16.10 (less than $18) for three glasses of wonderful wine, s starter and a main course, while enjoying excellent, traditional Spanish melodies - what more could I ask for? Unfortunately, my wife was unable to accompany me on this trip, but even still, this was one of the most enjoyable, affordable dining experiences I have had in quite a while and I will return before leaving Marbella ... sorry honey! I always hesitate before giving the maximum score to any establishment, but I honestly could not find a fault to deduct even a single "bomb", hence ...
