Gourmet Christmas Shopping Trip for those who like to lunch

/

So, it is upon us - the 'soooo' looked forward to, "Goodwill" season of spend, spend, spend on a load of trash. But those of us, who dislike buying "things" which nobody wants, but instead believe food and drink gifts to be the ultimate in cool pressies, Costa Almeria Tours is with you.

We are offering a gourmet delight of food shopping with a little lunch and drinking thrown in. We will transport you from your door (within reason) to the stunning Food Hall full of fresh local produce, we bring the cold boxes with ice for your purchases and follow you around like personal shoppers (and collect your bags and return them to the car). We will also bring you home, following the eating and drinking, shopping fest, so no driving necessary at all...

Lunch of course is at Casa Puga, (standing only, but masses of wine and tapas). Food market first, where we will treat you to a little fish or meat to be cooked on the plancha in the great bar withing the market! All inclusive, 48 euros per person (33 euros if you just want a ride and no lunch). Transport, nibbles, lunch with wine or beer! Happy Christmas gastronomers, this is the way to escape the Christmas demons!

All this takes place on Thursday, December 17th in Almeria city - no deposit necessary. Just email Jackie with your reservations or any questions at info@costaalmeriatours.com or call anytime on (0034) 646 760 389

Bah humbug - yes! We'll eat them, thanks

Fab day on boat trip in Aguillas

boat_trip-1.jpg

Starting with a Cava breakfast on board the 30 foot sail boat, the day was set to be great. 10 of us set sail for the open sea and had the time of our lives. After a couple of hours enjoying the beautifaul coastline we had our first swim in 8 metre dept crystal clear water. When we passed the cape of Aguillas, the wind got up to 5 knots so we opened the main sail and took off in total quite. A dolphin kept us company as we rounded home and after another hour had our second swim. The day was complete after docking back at the harbour and the start of our fabulous lunch at a quayside cafe where we ate like kings. What a day.
