El Puerto en Valle Gran Rey

14/01/2024: Located at the top of Valle Gran Rey’s main beach, it’s a pleasure sitting outside watching the world go by. These tables are very popular with people staying in the area, but we weee lucky. My partner had a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice which he found slightly too sour- that could be because the local orange aren’t at their best at the time of year. My glass of tinto de verano, the Spanish red wine based summer drink, was very good though. We shared a couple of dishes for a light lunch. The salad of tomatoes and avocado was lovely with the avocado being perfectly ripe. The pan con almogrote however had just a small bowl of the cheese paste (which was as little too thick) accompanied by a huge plate of dry toast, far too much. Cappuccino afterwards was nice if you like it prepared with whipped cream. Service was friendly but a little slow as there didn’t seem to be enough staff. Our bill was EUR31.
