Buensol Bar – Fuengirola

Bar Buensol, Fuengirola was very close to our second apartment in Fuengirola. It is a very friendly community bar with great food and prices

Bar Buensol, Fuengirola

The Bar Buensol is situated not far from where we live on Calle Salvador Rodriguez Navas, which runs from the Policia Local down to the beach. It is approximately two hundred yards from the sea, but it could be two hundred miles – it would not alter the atmosphere, I think.

We have been using the Buensol for about a month now, as it is en route to the local supermarket, and makes a convenient stopping-off point when walking back with the shopping!

That’s my excuse anyway, and I’m sticking to it.

The Buensol is not a tourist bar; it does not play music and the age group is thirty to eighty. It is basically a bar for locals. However, by that I do not mean that it is only for Spanish people. Far from it, but it is just a good, rock-solid, no messing about, local bar. A few expat Brits use it occasionally, but that is neither here nor there.

The basic reason why my wife and I like the Buensol is its friendliness – or that of its staff and customers anyway. On top of that, the food is good, the beer is good and the prices are good.

What more could you want? And if you say ‘the sea’ (and all that that entails), well, it is just five minutes walk.

The bar is owned or and managed by a Spanish man named Steven. He speaks English and is very friendly and helpful and the cooks are excellent.

The Buensol also has free WiFi, and if you want to learn Spanish in a more controlled environment, I have seen small informal classes being taught there. I am sure that Steven could tell you the dates and times, although they appear to be run by an expat British woman.

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
