FOOD Your hotel provides a ‘Continental Breakfast’ (except Hotel Hellin on Sunday mornings when you can breakfast at a bar opposite the hotel or take a late breakfast at the centre). Lunches and dinners taken in restaurants or at the Centre (all meals included in the price for 'fully inclusive' holidays) provide a choice of traditional Spanish cuisine that typically could include a choice of; various meat (typically chicken, beef, lamb, pork, pancetta, partridge) or fish (typically hake, see bream, swordfish, calamari, squid, cuttlefish, prawn) dishes, pastas or rice dishes, Gazpachos Manchego, Gazpacho Andaluz (in season), soups, stews, cold meats and cheeses, Russian salads, excellent fresh salads and locally baked bread, fresh fruits of the season or ice cream or traditional Spanish sweets (flan, Pan de Calatrava, cheese cakes, chocolate puddings, ice cream etc). We cater for vegetarians (please note on your booking form). Menu choices should suit the adventurous as well as the non-adventurous (there are pizza and Chinese restaurants in Hellin, near to the hotels!). We provide drinks with your lunchtime and evening meals and you would typically choose from wine, water, beer, coke, fruit juices, lemonade.
If eating at local restaurants your guide will assist if you need help with menu translations or explanations.
The centre is situated in a wine, olive, almond, fruit (apricots, peaches, pears, melons, cherries, strawberries, avocados) area and next to one of Europe's most fertile vegetable growing areas, suppliers to many of the markets in Europe (and UK supermarkets). Oranges, lemon and limes are also grown nearby.
Local tap water is good, clean and healthy to drink, although we provide bottled water at all meals and bottled water is also available at all times at the centre and in all restaurants and bars. You can take a bottle from the centre back to your hotel as well if you want.
Your holiday includes breakfast, mid-day meals (except on your 'free' Wednesday morning) including drinks (wine, beer, water, soft drinks etc) and evening meals with drinks and we absolutely guarantee you will not leave hungry ! However, any items purchased at the hotels and booked to your rooms, i.e. mini-bar, hotel bar, internet pay cards etc, and Wednesday lunch, are your responsibility and must be paid for before checking out. |
