Berlingua (near Coopers) have a conversation class on Tuesday lunch times. Apart from that I don't know of any. However, if you do find another one, please let me know - I like to get as much practice as I can when I come over for visits.

Hi, there is a conversation group running in the university at Elche, Toastmasters International hold meetings in Spanish in Alicante and we will be starting a new one in Spanish in Mononlo´s Restaurant Doña Pepe Open Evening is the 8thApril 6-8pm.

I used to run a conversation group in Quesada and am quite happy to do it again if there is the interest.
Linda

Is the one in Manolo's going to be one that you can "drop in and out of" - I only come to Spain for a few months a year - and was the one that you ran, Linda, run along the same lines? I haven't got a car, but Manolo's is within a 20 min walk for me. What part of Quesada are you in Linda?

Linda, I would be intereted in joining a conversation group too. Like Spanglish though, I don't live here all the year round. Can you give me a bit more information re what the event at Manolos is please?
thanks

It's a shame that there has been no further response to this thread - it was starting to look very interesting!

We need to try to do something with this as I am also interested and have been waiting for information as to how to take it forward. Any ideas anyone?

I think that it might be a good idea to contact Manolol's and ask about the exact level of the classes, and how big the class will be. I have their e-mail contact address. However, on another front it might be useful to find out how many people would be interested in a conversation class. I used to go to an informal one, in England. There were 8 members in the group, and we took it in turn to meet in someone's home. The problem all round (as with myself) is that some/many of the people interested may not be resident in Spain throughout the year

Hi two people have phoned me about the Spanish Conversation Class, need three more to get it going ring me on 966 716 919, don´t worry about your level we can sort that out.

I attend Hablar in Benijofar .. Louise the teacher is excellant and is very flexible .. and reasonable. So you could adapt to what is suitable for you [email protected]

Did this conversation group get off the ground (Linda's) - only I haven't seen any more about it?

Hi all
Only received 1 phone call about conversation classes, still willing to do them at Manolo´s Restaurant if there are people who want it.
email or call me Linda 966 716 919

I was the one who called you!! It's a shame that there wasn't more interest

Go to Sinfonia Roma the Italian by the Laguna hotel next door to the Chinese, China Town, already noted. It's excellent, big portions & very cheap we think for their MDD/MDN 3 course meals (yes lunchtime AND evenings from 8€ +IVA. inc a drink).

Go to Restaurant EL RASO on the El Raso urb, lemon tree road, only 6.50€ for a 3 course lunch Monday to Friday inc a drink, for bread, alioli, salad & 3 courses. Evenings are 12.90€ for a great meal. Entertainment some weekends, check them out.

We use both regularly.

For The Best Fish And Chips In The World you have to visit The Inn Plaice In Torrevieja call 678 571 117 for details...........................
Best Fish and Chips In The World also have Scottish Black Pudding - Haggis and White Pudding THE REAL STUFF....................... FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but I have to say that we had some tak away food from the Sinfonia Roma and it was so bad the dog would not eat it.

I can see you have a great number of places to eat! It is very good but Portico Mar is listed 3 times. The Black Bull Torremendo is also very good and on Sunday Apr 17 The Charity Paul Cunningham Nurses have arranged a Carvery and Dance there starting at 7.30p.m. anyone interested in tickets should call or email Susan om 966 713 503 629 869 959 or send an email to [email protected]

There is another place also where the food is fantastic. The new minigolf of rojales. It is between the mercadona and the golf course.

I would say the best Fish & Chips I have had is from Our Plaice La Marina urb, large fresh meals everytime.........and THE BEST curry sauce!

Totally agree with you, the fish and chips in Our Plaice La Marina is superb.

The Inn Plaice Torrevieja has Real Scottish Black Pudding Real Chip Shop Haggis and 2 curry sauces the Hot One is Simply the best around you must try The Inn Plaice they have clients who pass other chip shops and travel for miles to get THE BEST !
If you think you have tasted the best you have not yet been to THE INN PLAICE

I'd worry if owners DIDN'T say THEIR restaurant/cafe/company was the best though, & TWICE too, rtncliff :-)

Hi John. If you visit the Villamartin Plaza, you cant go wrong. There are bars and restaurants galore. Try Eduardos for some very nice dining and entertainment, or The Tavern for something quick. Fairways is also great for a great variety. Hope you have a good trip and that you get to eat at some great places.

As you go up the steps to the Plaza you will see on the right hand side after you have walked though to the open area a restaurant (sorry can not remember the name) I was taken there once, it was a great meal and not just because I was not paying, give it a try.

How much would a clean of 2 large 2 seater sofas cost? I have bought them secondhand and they need a good clean, I also have a rug in desperate need of a good clean!

Hi, thanks for the enquiry. It costs 20 euros per seat, therefore, 80 euros for two 2-seaters and the Rug will be cleaned for "FREE". If you are interested, please feel free to call me on 689 271 580.

You will be pleased with their work,
a good company who even does a fantastic Paella!!
