We went to this town last year and stumbled upon restaurant Le Vid. Le Vid is in a mountain town, but specializes in seafood and rice dishes. Their gimmick is the screen they have up showing the chefs cooking your rice dish over a wood fire.
Garlic shrimp.

Scallops
Rice with seafood.
John's lamb dish. He enjoyed it a lot. Note his fork.
The three of us having the pilaf had these forks - almost a cross between a fork and a spoon.
Stef's photo - note the screen above me. It is hard to see, but the fire is with lots of small sticks.
Stef taking a selfe.
After our meal we walked around the small town.
The clock tower.
Pinoso is noted for its large wall mural above the central parking lot.
The town square.
I don't remember this statue from our our last visit.
The church.
This walkway is unusual as it is a steep incline instead of steps.
Road way design.
Many homes had these screens in front of their doorways for privacy, but to still let some air in.
Our restaurant.
On our way home we stopped to see the Sanctuary of Saint Mary Magdalene just outside of Novelda.
A view down into the valley from the mountain top it is located on.
It is closed for renovations so we could not go inside. It was inspired by Gaudi and the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
Hamming it up!
We headed home for a rest followed by a walk along the beach with a stop for drinks and tapas at a beach bar. Tomorrow Stef and John head on to the next part of their trip - Sweden with its cold wet weather. It will prepare them for their trip back to CA next Tuesday and the same type of weather.
We have a brief break alone followed with niece from Madrid and then the granddaughters from Sweden.
It is always lovely to have family visit us - especially here in Spain - and bittersweet when they leave. It was wonderful to have Stef and John share our love for El Campello.
