Georgina Recommends… Il Tartufo Marbella

If you are looking for an authentic Italian meal in the heart of Marbella Old Town, this is definitely one to try. Il Tartufo is a little gem, with room for just 30 or so covers. It’s run by a friendly couple, with a cosy atmosphere, the service is second to none and the food is really excellent.

Location – This restaurant is in Marbella’s charming Old Town, close to the main road. Cross over from the Parque Alameda main crossing (by the big fountain) turn right and walk down to another fountain with a horse in it. Turn left into the Old Town here  and take the very first right, by the cafe, walk down this little street and it’s about half way down. If you get to Maverick Irish pub you’ve gone too far.

The Food – We were very impressed by the quality of food here, with everything cooked to perfection and high quality, specialist produce flown over from Italy. The chef is Italian and passionate about his cuisine and I’d say it would be hard to find a more authentic Italian restaurant in this area.

Eye advice for Over 60s: Yearly eye test can detect glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration

Specsavers, the UK’s “most trusted” opticians, are advising Costa del Sol residents over the age of 60 to have an eye test at least once a year. Older eyes are susceptible to diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts, which can be detected during an eye test. Early diagnosis can help prevent further damage in many cases.  To encourage residents to have an eye exam, Specsavers Opticas in Fuengirola is offering its signature, UK standard eye test to anyone at no cost (no purchase necessary) until 21st May, 2011.

Optician Amrik Sappal of Specsavers Opticas in Fuengirola explains “Some people wait until their vision becomes impaired before having an eye test. This can be risky because some eye diseases have few noticeable symptoms until they reach an advanced stage. Our advice to those over 60 is – Make an annual eye test a part of your normal healthcare routine.”

Georgina recommends …. Divina Tapa, Marbella

This little tapas place is our new favourite place to go and have never let us down for great service, interesting and delicious food, good wine, a lovely wine bar vibe and good prices. I’d definitely recommend it for an evening with friends.

The location–  Just behind the big Zara on Ricardo Soriano, one street down towards the sea c/ Ramón Gomez de la Serna 4, Marbella. If you’re looking at Zara go to the right, down the road towards the sea and take your first left by a bar called lekune. Divina Tapa is the third place you come to.

Opportunity to take a stand at the Children’s Fayre in Calahonda

Marleen Gosselin from “The Black Cat” and Eurosur Calahonda is organising the Calahonda Children’s Fayre and looking for businesses to promote themselves by having a stand. This is an excellent way to give something back to the local community as well as promoting your business. We were there volunteering last year and it was a great event with a large number of people attending and raising money for charity. It’s taking place on Sunday 15th May from 11am to 6pm at the Petanca Park in Calahonda and the prices are very reasonable, starting at 20€ and going up to 50€ for a stand.

Georgina recommends ….. The Beach House, Elviria

The Beach House is a beautiful restaurant right on the beach in Elviria which makes a really special place to have lunch or dinner. We’ve been here a number of times now for Valentine’s Day, Birthdays and special occasions and have never been disappointed by the food, atmosphere and service. Here’s my low-down of the place:
