Gym / Classes
Does anyone know of a gym locally other than Howards Gym in Quesada? Also looking for classes (possibly Pilates or other)?
Indian Restaurants
Can anyone recommend a GOOD Indian restaurant - Ive tried the one in Benimar and found the food very bland. Ive also tried one in Rojales which wasnt great. I believe theres a new one opened in Doña Pepa? There used to be a good one in El Raso but this has closed down....Dont really like Spice Hut as there are always cats hanging around there which puts me off !
We love Agra Indian restaurant in Guardamar on Avenida Cervantes which is on the main road behind the promenade. The food is delicious and the staff are really friendly.
There is a new one in Doña Pepa and it is very nice - they do an evening menu which is around €13. The guy who runs this used to work at the one in Los Montesinos (Punjabi Palace?). Punjabi Palace is also very nice and their buffet is well worth the money but I think is now only available on a weekend.
Scooter hire
Can anyone tell me if there is somewhere locally that hires out scooters please
Hi there,
I have a scooter for sale at a really good price if you are interested! If you have a holiday home you could keep it in garage and make use of it every time you come instead of renting one. Regards
There is a company called Euro Rent - they are based in Javea but do a service from Alicante airport. There no is 966 472 383.
There used to be a company called Richies in Benijofar that rented out scooters / mopeds - they were originally on the high street but not sure that they are there any more. Might be worth googling them to see if they still exist?
Hi Lesley - Thank you very much for the info, I have googled and found a link to Richies. Many thanks again.

Summer School
I understand that there is sometimes a summer school held at the school in Rojales - does anybody know anything about this? Is there one in Benijofar school also and if not, can children who dont go to the school in Rojales still attend the summer school or is it just for children that attend the school?
hi i have a childrens dance and zumba classes in Quesada and i am having a summer school in Howards Gym. Let me know if you want any more details. regards susan
Hi Susan, Can you post details of your summer club - my children are 13 and 11 and I want them to be with children of similar ages - would it just be english kids or spanish too?
Hi, we are thinking of having a summer school in the mornings of July for Spanish learning english, if this helps!

GREAT AREA
I have just come back from a few weeks in the Torrevieja area and had the chance to visit La Zenia for the first time when I went to a business Exhibition that was on last week. I must say it looks very nice, and well worth a trip back. Its great to see one of these websites open up to cover this place I will keep an eye on events

Hi
I don't normally recommend restaurants but i was so impressed by Posh Palace, near mercadona and Lidl off the n332 ,La marina. Its the best indian ive had over here and it compares highly to my favorite Indian restaurant in the UK, and thats in Bradford!
the bombay palace in catral is excellent very small inside but excellent food also punjabi palace in montesinos is good but service there the last time we went was not good a very grumpy waiter who really didnt want to be there but it wouldnt put us off going back
