Chica de Mazarron - A new phase in the pandemic

-



So, what a tough few months it has been for all local businesses and, although not totally out of the woods, I am delighted to see so many places opening back up even under the tight restrictions still in place.

I've not written during this lockdown about all the wonderful take away or deliveries I've had, as the online promotion of them has been superb and I didn't feel I could contribute anything more. The business owners themselves here in Mazarron and the surrounding areas did amazing, offering flexible services and trying their best to make ends meet and provide something for everyone. The community were outstanding in promoting their favourites and even fish and chip wars took on a tounge in cheek, comical tone for a change. However for me, there was one thing that really stood out and that was the time, dedication and passion injected into a facebook page to support all take away and deliveries in our region - Beverley Gibson Bernard - what a truely fab idea for everyone on Camposo and Condado, businesses and customers alike. Thank you! This second lockdown, of sorts, has given me some time to review my blog activity after launching back in the autumn and make some decision on future content and planning. It has also seen me work my notice on my job here in Spain and embark on a new business venture, which has all been super exciting - throw in a house move and I wouldn't of had time to eat out or explore even if I'd wanted to lol. But here we are, entering another phase of this bloody pandemic and looking forward to making what we can of Christmas. I for one have put decorations up this year and as anyone who knows me well will validate, I am usually a bit of a grinch! Here's to getting back out there, safely of course, supporting local business and getting some sort of life back and in the meantime, if you are not ready or unable to venture back out to the restuarants don't forget Beverley's Page for take away. If you've not already seen it, I recommend you take a look. Click this link for a nosy, you won't regret it. Un saludo Chica de Mazarron xx

P.S. I had my first lunch out last Saturday in 6 weeks, blog to follow shortly

Reeves Butchers - The English Butcher in Mazarrón

  With the recent departure of the English Butchers on A, I thought you might find this blog of interest if you're missing your favourite cuts of meat and, of course, a good old British Banger! Reeves English Butchers has been around a long while, with their main shop in Torrevieja and more locally doing fresh deliveries to order across Camposol, Condado de Alhama, The Country Club, Mazarrón Town, El Puerto de Mazarrón and just about everywhere else inbetween.  With qualified British butchers, an extensive list of local and British suppliers the quality and range of their products is fantastic. Whether ordering for a BBQ, special occasion or just a good old English breakfast or roast dinner, I have never been disappointed.  I started using them during the lockdown and have to say I have never looked back. With various ways of ordering, either through their facebook page, WhatsApp, in their Torrevieja shop or through their camposol base at Luz del Sol it really couldn't be easie

THE COSTA CALIDA - The Warm Coast

    The Costa Calida is the coastline of Murcia and runs from the North near Alicante, down to the South bordering with Almeria. Well know areas along this coast include the Mar Menor, Aguilas, Mazarron and Cartegena to name just a few. The original airport serving the Costa Calida (on my first arrival) was San Javier, a military airport also serving civilians. In January 2019 Murcia International Airport opened, which along with Alicante Airport provides an important gateway to our beautiful home.      Host to several mountain ranges, outstanding golf courses, national parks and spectacular coastlines, activities are plenty or if you prefer you can while the day away with stunning views, beautiful Mediterranean food, a cafe con leche or something stong if you wish - you really are spoilt for choice!        With an array of Spanish villages, cities, ports, harbour towns and ex-pat urbanisations there is something for everyone.  The summers are hot and lazy but the winters are but t

Bar Review - Tel's Bar, Camposol

This bar is a great little hangout, with a positive, fun vibe to it and plenty to offer during hot sunny days, late warm evenings and even on the cooler or wetter days. Located on Camposol Sector A, Leanne has a fantastic established team by her side and has been running Tel´s for many years now.  Whether you are looking for a full English breakfast, a quiz, music entertainment or just a good drink and chatter this is a great place for all.   I have spent many an afternoon or evening with friends, enjoying the relaxed environment and a glass of something cold.  Nothing is ever too much trouble for Leanne and I have seen her go out of her way on many occasions for her customers - I've even seen her give some of them a lift home to save them a long walk! If you like quizzing and live music this is a place you will love.  With a small cozy indoor area but a large spacious terrace, there is always room to be in the midst of the action or slightly tucked away in your own lit
