Without a doubt the two Javiers in Benimar are absolutely fantastic, I cannot praise them enough. They love dogs, pure and simple, please don't go anywhere else.

Their website is as follows and the phone number is 966712707.

If you call in someone is always happy to have a chat with you, they are better than any vet I ever had in the UK.

Thank you so much for the details I will contact them first thing on Monday

hi i have used javea down at benimar for over 5 years now and nothing is to much trouble a i have no complaints with the treatment recieved by my dalmatian

We also use Benican. They are brilliant. We also use their "Poodle Parlour" for our little terrier.

The best we have found is in El Razo. Julian is his name he has been very good with our 3 dogs and they actually like going to see him. From Bobby's Bar Quesada

Hi Sheriff I would be interested to meet up when I am back in Quesada on the 10th of April, please let me know if you will have the time.

We speak English with a Scottish accent please do not say you need a translator ..........you are having a laugh ??

Yes
No

Best Regards
The Sheriff

Thanks.. would love to know exactly where it is.. is it a ball pit etc...?

its red monkeys, it has a ball pit and creche facilities although the Amstelleria in qsd main street has one too which is very good

Quesada Wellbeing that was there is now in las Naciones 74, still with Toning Tables and holistic therapies as well as now offering business and personal mentoring especially for weight loss.
The units are empty and general info does not say any thing will be changing

Is it bowling they´re playing outside the QCC? Or is it called something else?
Fascinating to see the engagement - and tempting to try! :)

This is a very popular sport in the U.K we play it outdoors on grass and indoors on the same surface
as we have in Quesada, (to hot for grass in Spain). The idea of the game is simple, you have a smaller black ball that is at one end of the pitch, called the green, and you stand at the other and have 4 larger balls, you compeate with someone to try to get your balls as close to the small black one as possible, for every ball you get nearest to the black one you get a point. The first to 21 points wins. Its not as simple as it sounds as the balls you use have a weight in one side so does not go in a straight line.
Hope that explains Bowls

Think its been taken over now

I can not confirm if it is closed down, but we walk passed last week looking for a place to eat for a special event coming up soon, and it was closed at the wrong time of the day.

I dont know if it has closed, but my husband went there end of last year for a "do" and they were all very disappointed, nowhere near as good as it used to be, so maybe it has gone!

Now there is a good idea, count me in.

Sounds Great!

There are several ladies clubs in the area,and there are various lunch clubs, but none I believe are just ladies in Quesada so that could be very interesting.

Let me know more.

Would anyone interested in "forming" a Ladies Who Lunch Club in Quesada please send me an email to [email protected]. I will be in Quesada on 6th April and would like to arrange an initial meeting after that date - thanks

There used to be a Quesada Ladies Lunch Club that met on Tuesdays at the Hotel Corazon.

The Quesada Ladies Club also meets on a Tuesday in Coopers

I would love to come to this once it is set up as I am new so would be a great place to meet people, any info yet?

There is a ladies club that meets on Friday afternoons at The Club.

Read just below, very good advice with a wide choice

Restaurante Manolo at "lo marabu" is very good

Myself & friends had a lovely lunch yesterday in the Banana Tree. €9 for 3 courses and a drink, very good Thai food.

One of the best places that I have been to is the WOK, there are a few of them around and so far I have done 3 of them. The one on the golf course is fine 7.95 eat as much as you can, the one just outside the arches to the right, 12.95 not very good at all. And the one in Dona Pepa GREAT place.

If you are looking for Spanish food then Goyo´s on the Town Hall Square, lovely food, and great people very varied menu

The Spice Hut is a good place for indian food and the Argentinian steak house opposite is also great for meat lovers

Try Frissan at San Miguel or Parkside in Los Montesinos. Always top quality food and service, great for a special occasion. Make sure you book early!!

If it's for a special occasion and if you don't mind going into Guadamar then Portico Mar takes some beating and I guarantee you'll get good food, fantastic service in really lovely surroundings. Otherwise Lets Eat in Benimar is also good. Maz

I can only thank you all so much for taking the time to answer my request, what great people live in Quesada. It's our 50th wedding
anniversary, and we have our 3 children and spouses coming over. I cannot remember the last time we were all together in the same room so
it's very special for us both.

You must let us know where you end up going. Hope you all have a really great time. Maz

Our choices would be: Let's Eat, Benimar, Porticomar, Guardamar, El Gusto, Benijofar, the WOK opposite Atalaya. All of them offer a la carte or MDD. Congratulations and hope you have a lovely evening with your family.

if its a special occasion i would go a little further out into Rojales there is a stunning place very quaint its called Viloriens

I agree with Zumba with Lisa's comment. Veloriens really is a little bit extra special for an occassion such as yours. It's a little bit off the beaten track to Quesada but worth it!

I would recommend Portico Mar in Guardamar. Excellent food , service and nice surroundings.

Yes Frissan at San Miguel is gorgeous, we go with friends as a treat whenever we are over at our place in Dona Pepa, but you have to book early to get a table

Opposite La Laguna Hotel is Chinatown Laguna which is Chinese. They have an all you can eat for 10 euros each (not Wok buffet style, much better than that) consisting of starters, then soup and crispy duck pancakes, followed by main course, as long as you eat what you order it's 10 Euros, or around the back of there, is the Indian Ocean restuarant, or over by the La Marquesa golf course is the La Marquesa Chinese. All are excellent food and hard to chose between.

I think the 25th is Fiesta Day. Hols 21st & 22nd and maybe 24th. Maz

Semana Santa in Rojales is on Easter Sunday. If you go to the town hall (rojales), or local police station in Quesada they have an A5 leaflet with all the dates and times of the different processions. Easter Sunday one is the best though.

Behind Lidl at Lo Marabu is being built to let to Chinese, possibly for a bazaar

Why on earth would they build yet another Bazaar! Just crazy!

Yes behind lidl is a new Chinese bazaar as if we don't have enough of them lol

I have heard the building behind Lidl at Lo Marabou is going to be another chinese bazaar :(. But it is only hearsay, not definite.
