As part of the summer festival of Motril, there was a world class equestrian show that featured 22, beautiful Andalucían horses, incredibly skilled riders, flamenco dancers and a spectacular band to which both the horses and the dancers danced to. The show, which was called The Spirit of Andalucia, had several unique and well prepared acts. The opening act featured a horse and carriage with flamenco dancers. The flamenco dancers were being carried around the arena and the flamenco dancers were waving and welcoming the applauding crowd.
On Saturday, 22 August, residents and people holidaying on Urbanization Monte de los Almendros gathered for a summer party. The theme was Andalucia, and many people dressed accordingly. Many women and young girls wore flamenco dresses and had their hair tied back and adorned with a colorful flower. Many men had on sombrero hats and high waisted black trousers, red scarves and boots. Others wore green and white since those are the colors of the flag of Andalucia. People´s attire was definitely a topic of conversation.
Last night my husband and I ate a relatively new restaurant in Almunecar. It is called Los Laureles. We have eaten here several times, but they never cease to amaze us. The menu constantly changes and not only is the food top notch, it is absolutely great value for money as well. The service is impeccable. It is run by a young, hard working couple that are truly inspirational. She is Spanish and originally is from Almunecar and her partner Mark is English. He is the chef and she provides the wonderful service.
If you are looking for a place to enjoy gourmet tapas or a meal in a nice atmosphere, be sure to go to Degusta´s in Playa Granada. It is located in front of the golf course in Motril. They are open for lunch and dinner. This restaurant belongs to the owner of the successful and well-liked Roberto's restaurant, which is located next door. Degusta's is definitely the trendy new place to be seen. You can eat outside under their covered porch or inside either at the large bar area or in the separate dining room.
