Not that long ago I spotted that Taberna B11 had a new chef working there. There was a photo of Juan plus photos of a number of items he had added to the menu there. They were on the Taberna B11 Facebook page.

Talking to friends about this I understand that the new chef has worked in a number of restaurants in Almerimar. In particular, a lot of people remember him as the chef in Gourmet (now MacGowans). They all said they liked the food he prepared.

As you can see from the photo above there is a taster menu event organised for Saturday 28 September. Starting at 9pm. 7 courses for 30 euros.

You can reserve your table at B11 (located in the street down the middle of Porto Fino).

I got this poster off Facebook. Looks like there is going to be a mass and a horse parade from Guardias Viejas to Almerimar this coming Saturday (24 August 2019).

Thanks to the La Voz de Almería site for pointing out this event. I have linked direct to the article here on the W Series ladies motor racing site for details in English.

Also, I did not know there was a motor racing circuit near Tabernas.

Further to the earlier article about the market last weekend. The photo above and the article here are from the Ideal site.
