The Lakes

We can offer free camping to those who contact us through this blog.

The Lakes are back to their original glorious turquiose. The trees are just as magnificent. Giving their much needed shade. The tranquility of the place is very satisfying to the soul. Our two customers from the bar who wanted to come with

us were suitably impressed with this great expanse of clear fresh water. It is a natural valley between small mountains. I say small because Spain is filled with mountains of various sizes. Some of them quite large.
We decided not to take out any of the pedallos that were there to be rented, we just decided to sit and look at the water, talk about the worlds affairs and enjoy each others company.


Oh yes we did partake of the great food on offer at our favourite restaurant that sits astride the road, on top of the small tunnel. The people who run it are spanish, and the food is typically andalucian, delicious!!! As our waitlines can testify.

A Group of our customers made a request to be left at the lakes early one day and then to be collected in the early part of the evening, allowing them time to get back to the bar for the evening session. We were curious to how they would be spending their time, but keeping our noses out of their affairs, the curiosity remained until the following morning when they arrived with fishing rods. It turns out they had already fished these lakes and had tales to tell of the gigantic carp that swim in these waters.

This is where you
will find us, not in
the tree but just
behind it, in
Benalmadena
Costa, Costa del
Sol. Spain

A very good friends donation in support of the bar.

Old Faces

Well a big hello to all our readers, things are looking up at Shades, the June rush is upon us. It is now necessary for the bar to be open 7 days a week to accommodate our customers and our return visitors from the last two summers. They are all bringing new music to be played in the bar, and the bar is becoming packed all night every nght again, just the same as it has been for the last two summers. We are also seeing the return of some of our favourite locals, that seem to have lost their way for a short time. This is going to be a great summer for Shades Rock Bar, the best damn Rock Bar on the Costa Del Sol. (We had that confirmed by one of our customers). Not long to go for the next bike show. Our bar excursions are also beginning afresh, with the first one to the Lakes tomorrow.

Yesterdays Bike Show

Well not a lot can be said about yesterday, we found out that there was another bike show just down the coast in Fuengirola that was on all weekend. So of course everyone went there, this is apparently a yearly event, one that we knew nothing about!!!!!! shows how much we are engrosed in the bar. Don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing really. But we will be puting another one on next month, we haven't decided on the date yet. That will follow, so keep checking back for the date. So my friends sorry about no photos, was looking forward to puting up quite a few, never mind heres to the next one. Salud!!!!

Another Bike Show

We have the pleasure in announcing the fact that because of the success of the first one we are going to have another bike show this time on a Sunday this will be on the 11th June. This time we will be advertising it a little further afield. We have also reduced the amount of categories, it is going to be fun, fun lots of fun in the sun. So if you fancy a ride out come and join us, you will meet some great people like minded to yourselves. We look forward to seeing you. Oh yes nearly forgot, it starts at about 15:00 hrs. See you there.
