CUISINE WITH A SPANISH SOUL Our friends on Las Flores

Santiago Arco Ávila is a great friend of LuckyQuilters International. His bar Las Flores is supporting our association. And we would like to acquaint you more closely with this remarkable person and his cozy location. 

 

If you want to taste authentic Spanish cuisine and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Andalusia, then choose pubs and restaurants away from the sea, those where the locals go. As, for example, this bar Las Flores. The friendly atmosphere prevails here. With a glass of wine you can get acquainted with all the guests and start dancing with them.

 

The owner of the bar is Santi (Santiago Arco Ávila). He used to sell furniture, but 10 years ago, when the crisis broke out, he decided to do the restaurant business. It was a risk  and  it did worked. In times of crisis, a bar with low prices immediately attracted attention. Santi confessed that he could not cook badly, because next time nobody would come to him. Here the word of mouth is working.

 

Today Bar Las Flores is one of the most popular location of the Arroyo de La Miel district in Benalmadena. Here are nice prices and very tasty food. You can order coffee and tapas and pay 1.5 euros for it. And if you come for lunch or dinner, order hot dish and wine, then the average bill will be around 12 - 15 euros. 

 

Once a month, there is a tasting evening tonight. For 25 euros you get a delicious dinner and an opportunity to try 6 varieties of wines - drink as much as you can. Octopus on the grill, beef cheeks, fresh fish, grilled meat are in great demand. And these portions are twice as large as on the coast.

 

We decided to ask Santi a few questions:
