186 Tue 3/10/17: Restaurante Marisqueria Cordoba, Benidorm

Beer: Amstel 5%We’ve taken a mid-morning meander up to Benidorm station in order to ascertain train times for tomorrow’s journey to Alicante. It’s hot, and the station is quite a long way out. It’s past noon by the time we get there, and there are a small number of suitably rundown “back street by the station” type bars. The first we go to is very dark, they have a power cut: meaning they can’t serve beer or use the tills. Every bar we pass (and fancy the look of) apparently has the same problem – so we wind up back in Benidorm Old Town.

This bar, on the edge of Tapas Alley, is nice enough – very fishy, which draws me inside. The photos may belie the popularity of the place. Even though it’s October, it’s still very hot. Most people (they’re mostly expats) like that kind of thing – and are sat outside. It’s cooler in – the beer is cooler still, which is nice after all that walking.
