Never start a story….. with self doubt.


Here we go people….the news is…….. I appear to be opening a bar in El Cotillo….yes that is quite correct it is time to reach for the drug filled capsules from the top shelf..

The Last Resort will be mine all mine I tell you, well that’s not strictly true as a couple of village friends are joining me in the madness ……can I have those pills over here please.



We will not be the same old same old but by the time you read this we will be open. as a work in progress, and the hope is to revamp what has been a successful establishment in the recent past.

New furniture, decoration and our personal stamp with my photographs of village people and life, our own internet BLOG….and eventually competitions and prizes.

We will enjoy….we hope you do
