La Cochera - Almuñécar

I’m currently trapped in La Cochera while El Club de Lectura watch Cinema Paradiso dubbed into Spanish with no subtitles. I saw the poster advertising the film in the window of the bar, the same way I see all of their events was surprised when I turned up to find I was the only English speaker (my Spanish is ok, just not good enough to watch an Italian film dubbed into Spanish). The stand in manager from Belgium said that I should’ve noticed that it was a private film presentation by the local reading club, when I read the poster marketing the event in the front windows of the bar/club. Apparently the devil is in the detail. I should’ve noticed something was up when I turned up 5 mins late for the film found the windows all blacked out with bin liners the door locked reminded me of the Jamaican Blues parties I used to go to in Birmingham in the 1970s early 1980s. Being of the ever curious kind of guy who doesn’t let locked doors blacked windows stop him, on the contrary I was quite intrigued. I went to the gym next door, found a pair of ladders tried to get in using the tradesmen’s entrance. My plan was foiled by a cigarette smoking beauty who was taking a break from the bar the words, “perdon” were uttered to me from beneath some tarpolin, with not a little incredulity in her voice. “Am I late for the start of the film?”, I said, as tried to get my leg over. Talking of which, what’s the beauty’s phone number?

When you are in La Herradura, do see and treat yourself to a wonderful audio, visual and tactile experience. Partake of your favorite beverage while looking at all the wall paintings, statues and array of colors while listening to the eclectic mix of the finest singers, musicians and bands of the last 60 years. Be sure to see all the garden sculptures at the back of the garden. A delightful treat is the free live music each Sunday night. It may have a low key appearance on the front, but it will feel like you stepped into the land of OZ.

We went here a couple of times. Live music on Sundays and on the other days quite lively as well. During the summer month the have additionally a huge beer garden open. This is closed during the winter period but still worth a visit.

Tengo un gran estilo gourmet vegetariano con la hippie chic impronta del lugar. buenos espectáculos musicales, buen bar y un ambiente divertido especialmente los viernes, sábados y domingos.

Ambiente relajado y muy agradable. Precios accesibles. Decoración exquisita . Música en vivo, que debería ser en el patio, a la entrada hay poco espacio para estar allí y escuchar.
