Bar Las Palmeras eating out guide and part of the Area Tourist information on Oliva, Gandia, Xativa,Teulada, Moraira, Calpe, Denia Altea, Jalon, Barx, La Drova, Bocairent and the quieter beaches of the Costa del Azahar, Spain


	MENU


	The strength of this bar's menu is in its simplicity. The "aperitivos" (fancy way of saying tapas) are amongst the best I have tasted. A good light lunch that goes down well when you're wondering whether it can get any hotter!


	LANGUAGE

If any of the staff speak English, then I don't know about it. Your pocket phrase book won't always help you with the menu ...so here's a few clues:

Navajas: Razor Shells
Alitas: A made-up word for small wings
Muslitos: Another made-up word--usually covers small chicken legs and any other meat that has been pressed together (like crab).
Chipirones: Baby squid (feeling brave?)
Figatells: turn out to be a small burger (made, at least in part, with liver) and skewered to bread (see below).
Montaditos: bite-size savouries (often held together with a cocktail stick).

Don't say I don't try to help out!

	I've dined well at Bar Las Palmeras for about 12€ per head. Certainly better value than similar venues at Oliva beach. Location: Avenida del Mar, Piles beach (stop sniggering, it's pronounced 'pee-lays'). There isn't much of Piles beach and this bar is near the end of the main road in and just before things get too Mediterranean for cars!
