Not sure if i am allowed to post a reccommendation for a cafe, but I visited such a lovely place in fuengirola port at the weekend i wanted to share it with other people. If you are interested in the name please let me know. A lovely couple who have only been there for a week or so, they have parrots and a terrace that is really safe for young children. They are situated one back from the actual front line of the marina but in their own little right hand corner of the main port square. As i said, i won't put their name on here in case its against the rules but they really are offering good value and freshly cooked and prepared food. Island girl.
