Nico's Restaurant Puerto Pollenca

I'll post more pics tomorrow as I'm tired and off to bed now. Just thought I'd share this cute little story with you before I turn in....

My daughter Emily (age 4) fell in love with a Spanish waiter on holiday (who hasn't?). He worked in a Tex-Mex restaurant in Puerto Pollenca in Church Square called Nico's. We liked it so much we went in there about 3 times. The food was fab and not too expensive, and delicious (nachos & veggie fajitas, yum!) . The service was great, and the 2 really nice waiters who were working each time we were there took the time to be nice and spoke fantastic English.

On our last night we had a real blow-out meal there and he was there working again. He remembered us and said hello and was really nice when we said we were going home. We all thought he was nice and looked a bit like a Spanish Adam Sandler!! I think he thought Emily was sweet cos each time we went in he made a fuss of her. (I suppose her blonde hair and blue eyes are quite unusual in Spain!)

On the last night she drew him a picture and wrote her name on it, cos she said she loved him!! He was really sweet about it and made a big thing about sticking her drawing on the wall. So we had to take a photo of her drawing on the wall. (It wasn't a good photo as it was a bit out of focus but she was pleased!)

As we were leaving he said to Emily "I want a kiss senyorita!" So she kissed his cheek. She was really funny, went all coy and batted her eyelashes (who hasn't at some point in their life?)

I'm kicking myself now cos we didn't ask his name or get a photo of him. She still talks about it. Anyway, if you ever go to Puerto Pollenca try Nico's, it's great. Thoroughly recommend it.

No more today

That's enough pictures for now. I'd better do some housework I suppose! Note for me, I got through the pics I've sorted into files and am working through the folder "mum". Have to note to myself or I'll forget where I got to.

That's a nice picture, kids on the wall at the top.

Church at the top of the steps. I'll have to look the name up as I can't remember it and it's bugging me now.

Calvari steps again

More beautiful homes on the Calvari steps.

What a view!

Stunning house near the top.

What a view! Puig Maria in the background (mountain about 330m high if I remember rightly!)

I loved it here. It was so peaceful, even though there were tourists everywhere. It was beautiful.

Calvari Steps Pollenca Old Town

One day we went to Pollenca old town and climbed the Calvari steps. There are 365 steps to a church at the top. Apparently, depending on what you read, there are 365 steps, one for every day of the year or one for every sin!!

On Good Friday there is a torchlight procession from the church at the top all down the steps carrying an efigy of Jesus. Although we were in Mallorca for Easter we didn't go to the service as the weather was awful.

I was fascinated by the beautiful houses that were all the way up the steps. Truly stunning buildings. Mind you, can you imagine being the postman?? Climbing all that way in the rain/snow etc?? It was a fab day out though.

some odd pictures

The tree is electric!! Weird or what!

Trotters Bar

Trotters British Bar, Puerto Pollenca. Always makes me laugh to see it.

Look at the size of that pepper! It was huge!
