On 12th November the Mayor of Ayamonte at a meeting with the Community of Owners at Costa Esuri confirmed that work on the Costa Esuri Marina will start by the end of 2010.

In the shorter term, work on the Hotel next to the Golf Club should recommence very soon now that Martinesa-Fadesa has sold both that building and the Commercial Centre.

A company has already sought permission from the Town Hall to install and open a supermarket in the Commercial Centre.

No indication has been given as to whether that permission has been granted but it is looking very likely that great improvements to the amenities at Costa Esuri are likely in the near future.

2 quick recommendations. I have 2 young boys so my choice of restaurants is probably not as I’d really like due to the fussy nature of their tastes!

In Ayamonte we went to the Pizzeria (I think that’s what it’s called) just by the town car park near the 90 degree bend in the road where the river joins the harbour. Great selection of pizzas and very friendly staff. Quiet when we got there at about 8pm but pretty full by about 9.30pm.

The second is in the Marina at Isla Canela. At least that what I think it is but the card says Punta del Morai – must learn my way around!! It’s about 15 minutes drive via Ayamonte but well worth it.

The owners, Les & Cyndi, are from Australia but the restaurant is called Bella Napoli (can you see the theme re my sons tastes?). We stopped for lunch yesterday and I was really impressed. Very child friendly – the Spanish waiter was really cool and very helpful. Both Les and Cyndi went out of their way to talk to us and check everything was OK. The food was very good and also good choice for the kids. Hopefully they can keep this up in the busier summer months.
