Hi,

Interesting reading these posts - it's always good to hear first hand accounts, esp. when trying to find somewhere to take fussy visiting family...! On recommendation from some friends who live in La Manga we took a drive down the coast to Los Nietos and had Sunday dinner at Vivas and were very impressed. We took a group of 10 without reservation (thought the other half had done it and vice versa!) but they were very accomodating and made us all feel very welcome. The food was fantastic with a home cooked flavour just as you'd expect from a good Sunday lunch back in Blighty, but with the best sea views! The owner told me about thier paella's in the summer which were apparantly cooked to order on their large terrace - can't wait! They've only been open a few months but seem to have the basics spot on.

We also visited Via Romana in the neighbouring village of Los Belomes later in the week and enjoyed excellent homemade pizzas in a nice busy restaurant.

It seems you sometimes have to be prepared to drive a little to find the best places!

Looking forward to more recommendations!
