At the request of our friends at Mesón Salvador, today's post is first in English and then in Spanish (my fractured Spanish, forgive me).
A petición de nuestros amigos de Mesón Salvador, el post de hoy es primero en inglés y luego en español (mi fracturado español, perdóname).
Every time we go to Mesón Salvador (our favorite restaurant in Fuengirola — and possibly the world), we not only enjoy an exceptional meal, but we are showered with love and affection. We receive hugs, kisses, and warm greetings from everyone. No matter our moods when we arrive, we are filled with love and joy (and good food) once there.
Cada vez que vamos a Mesón Salvador (nuestro restaurante favorito en Fuengirola — y posiblemente en el mundo), no sólo disfrutar de una comida excepcional, estamos llenos de amor y afecto. Recibimos abrazos, besos, y buenos saludos de todos. No importa nuestros estados de ánimo cuando llegamos, salimos llenos de amor y alegría (y buena comida).

| FOR SAN GERALDO. PARA SAN GERALDO. |
 |
| FOR ME. PARA MI. |

| AND BECAUSE ONE DESSERT ISN'T ENOUGH... Y PORQUE UN POSTRE NO ES SUFICIENTE... |

Our "family" at Mesón Salvador is a perfect example of why we are so proud to call Spain home.
Nuestra "familia" en Mesón Salvador es un ejemplo perfecto de por qué estamos tan orgullosos de decir que España es nuestro hogar.
That's the power of love...
Ese es el poder del amor..
Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteAnd tastes even better.
DeleteYou guys have a good thing going here!! I understand now why you go on those long walks....to burn off all those delicious desserts!!
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a crisp, white shirt!
Jim:
DeleteWhat's all this about the Mediterranean diet?!?
I am not a fan of desserts, per se, but that trio of desserts, AKA Adrian, Alejandro, and David, are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI see several reasons why you love the place.
Bob:
DeleteAnd there are several more! The nicest guys. The best hugs. And everything is delicious...
I can see why that is your favorite restaurant....
ReplyDeleteFrank:
DeleteYou'd fall in love in a minute!
DAYUM! good food and HAWT MENZ...who could ask for anything more?
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteNot me said I!
It's amazing to think of a restaurant family being so... like family! or even friends :)
ReplyDeleteAre you going to translate all of our comments into Español? ;)
Judy:
DeleteIt's not completely unusual in the more traditional, friendlier, local places to be referred to as "family." But at Mesón Salvador, they really mean it. I don't exaggerate when I say how much they all mean to us.
Looks like the love is reciprocal - always a good thing!
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteSincere, warm, kind, funny... The best in every way.
HELL with those three....WHO NEEDS DESSERT!!!! Hand me a can of Redi Whip and let the fun begin!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteBut, wait, there's more!!!
How wonderful that you've landed in such a loving and supportive place.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteWe went here for lunch when we were down from Sevilla looking for an important -- simply because we had stopped at the hardware store a few doors down before lunch and before going to see our apartment for the first itme. We thought, "Well, this is convenient." We had no idea we were walking into one of the most popular -- with good reason -- local places (since 1969). We fell in love immediately and then ended up living within a short walk. Our first day in town, we went back .. And we were remembered. What a welcome.
well if that isn't love there's no Glocca Mora!
ReplyDeleteWillym:
DeleteAn incredible place. I've never experienced another like it. You know, I've been wondering: How are things in Glocca Morra? Is that little brook still leaping there?
Well they tell me the willow tree is still weeping there!
DeleteWillym:
DeleteThanks for making me smile before bedtime. Tooralay!
great meal yummmy
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteIt couldn't be more perfect.
You have obviously landed in the right place! The restaurant guys are adorable in the picture 2.
ReplyDeleteShawn:
DeleteThe restaurant guys are adorable in person, too. Can you feel the love?
As I am learning Spanish I appreciate your bilingual entries.
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteThanks! I'm going to try and continue. Great practice for me and opens up my blog to many more of our friends.
I wish you would write all your posts in Spanish and English, Mitchell! I love this!
ReplyDeleteMy Spanish lessons have been falling by the wayside because all of my Spanish speaking friends have moved away. This was fun and educational. :)
Muchas gracious, mi amigo! Que tenga una buena noche, y a San Geraldo tambien! ( please excuse the missing punctuation marks, I can't do them on this keyboard........)
Jennifer:
DeleteThanks so much for the feedback. I'm seriously considering it. It means many of our friends and acquaintances here can read my blog, too, and it's great practice for me (and I need it)! Another bi-lingual post is coming today.
Hi Mitchell, what an incredible family you have in Spain! The dessert's are scrumptious looking along with the gentleman serving them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. ;)

Cat Lover:
DeleteThose gentlemen are even more scrumptious when you get to know them! Hard to believe. And, oh, those desserts!
This post made me smile a bunch! If I ever get over to your neck of the woods, I will visit this restaurant for sure. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLinda deV:
DeleteOne of the best reasons to visit Los Boliches! And they make me smile every time I see them.
These handsome guys can make me some chocolate anything anytime!!!
ReplyDeleteThose javas look mighty tasty too.
Ron:
DeleteEverything tastes better when it's made with love... and by David, Adrián, and Alejandro.
