For Jans birthday we drove to Calpe. She wanted a Spanish gardening book, and we found one in the Europa Bookshop, an excellent shop run by an ex pat which carries a good and comprehensive range of English language books. Quite expensive by UK standards, but very useful for this type of book, which you want to look through before buying.
After our shopping we walked along the promenade to the yacht club. We often have a light lunch here when we visit Calpe to do our weekly shopping. And not as expensive as you might think. Our usual coffee con leche and toasta, plus a copy of the Daily Mail, leaves us change from 5 euros.
It always surprises us how few people use this restrauant, compared with the others on the promonade. Despite the fact that it is cheaper, and you can always find a nice table overlooking the marina. Perhaps they think that it is for members only, or that the prices are much higher than they are.
For this special occasion we had a menu del dia. An excellent meal consisting of a three course meal and a bottle of wine, in excellent surroundings, and we had change from 30 euros.
