Playa Jardín y Punta Brava
February 28, 2015Playa Jardín y Punta Brava
February 23, 2015A walk along Playa Jardín to Punta Brava.
I was going to eat at the pleasant little restaurant in Punta Brava, facing the church. Or at least it used to be pleasant to sit outside at one of the outside tables. Only they have covered over the outside, and to make it worse, added a widescreen TV.
A sunshade for a hot day, yes, but not cover over, and absolutely no way a widescreen TV.
Too many bars, restaurants and cafés have been ruined in this way.
Casa Canaria
March 8, 2013Casa Canaria is a pleasant little restaurant overlooking a little garden in front of the main church in Punta Brava.
The bright green plastic chairs and tables outside are a bit of an eyesore.
I had been told excellent tomato soup. I fancied tomato soup and so I walked along Playa Jardín from Puerto de la Cruz to Punta Brava.
No tomato soup, they did though have chicken soup. It was delicious. Chicken, carrots and spaghetti(?).
I thought I would try champiñones al ajillo, garlic mushrooms. I wish I had not as not very pleasant. Sliced mushrooms, hard to tell if fresh or tinned, little bits of what I assumed to be green and red peppers and garlic, cooked in olive oil.
Washed down with a glass of beer and two glasses of water.
In a pleasant location, overlooking a little square in front of the main church, but why then ruin the tranqulity of the spot with a widescreen TV. Yes a widescreen TV outside beamed at the outside seating area.
Walking back, I came across an interesting book a man was reading overlooking Playa Jardín.
Punta Brava
March 6, 2013Punta Brava is a pleasant little village, meandering narrow streets, the other end of Playa Jardín to Puerto de la Cruz.
