Ey up..... I'll be at the Banana Tree in Marbella watching the game. Torromolinos should have plenty of sports pubs showing the game.

If you want to watch it with other clarets then jump on the bus/train to Benelmedena where they have a 60/70 strong Burnley supporters club. They have a facebook group and I think a few post on here.

Any clarets out in the Northern Costa Blanca. Jelon Valley, Moraira or Calpe areas. Recommendations of a good bar would be appreciated

Get yourself in the Lounge Bar, Bonanza Square, Benalmadena.

Loads of Clarets meet in there for matches and also search Benalmadena Clarets on Bookface.

If I knew how to post photo's I'd stick one up from my visit there last April (16) when we played Birmingham away.

Oh, and it was 1 Euro a pint!!!

The Lounge bar isn't exactly in Bonanza square. It's about five minutes further up the hill on Avenida Bonanza on the left hand side going up the hill. Good chance I will be in there with the other Clarets.

Benelmadina is a great shout and only a 15 minute walk along the promenade from Toremolinos.

There is a bar every 20 yards so you can drown your sorrows on the way back to your hotel on Saturday afternoon

Vino, does Scotty who is a mechanic and a Hibs Fan and Robbie who is a plasterer and a Derby Fan still drink in there ?

I'll be in estepona when Tottenham game will be played
Any bars local that may show the game and / or bars where fellow Clarets will be gathering to watch
Cheers UTC

Snap crackle etc, Robbie and Scottie do still go in and are both good mates of mine. Scottie does all my car servicing etc.

snapcrackleandpop · Post by **snapcrackleandpop** » Tue Aug 08, 2017 6:27 pm

Vino do me a favour and say hello to them from Jeff & Nicola, we use to live there and I use to drink with both of them I worked in Bar Nevada.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Tue Aug 08, 2017 6:46 pm

I remember you. I used to go in the Nevada when Steve and Lorraine had it. I also drank with Insurance Lee and Spanish Luis.

snapcrackleandpop · Post by **snapcrackleandpop** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 7:57 am

Vino give me a clue to who you are because we must have spoken or had a drink together if you went in the Nevada especially if you were with Lee. I still see Steve & Lorraine, they are doing OK. I have not been out there for a few years now, I like Lee how is he doing ? bet is he still a fat b******d though, Luis gave us a bit of help when we first moved over there a good lad, what about Roger the big numpty his he still out there.

Claret Kitch · Post by **Claret Kitch** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:05 am

Me and my Lad will be in the Lounge Bar for the Brom Game and Spurs. At the Bridge this weekend. I'll be having a few beers, wobble back down the road with change from 10 Euros! Then get a beating from the wife. If anybody is interested, Malaga play Eibar on Monday the 21st of August, 9pm start. The bus goes from the Lounge about 3 hours before Kick off. Good chance of booking on the bus if you ask at the bar on the Saturday. About 50 Euros will get you in, the bus to the ground and a good few beers. Top night believe me!

Longside4evr · Post by **Longside4evr** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 10:00 am

Yes Defo the bar to be in is the Lounge
I will be in their in full voice on Saturday
The landlord a Bolton fan good bloke puts every game on
Their be a good atmosphere in their always is and lots of clarets cheep beers and great banter it's as close as you will get to watching it in a bar in Burnley itself
Nice terrace out side with TV's with the game on if you prefer to chill out and watch in the sun
See you all their and a good catch up after what seems an age can't wait UTC

Any of you recommend a bar in Puerto Banus for the Chelsea game?

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 12:59 pm

Snap crackle, my name is Keith my Missus is Val. We went in Nevada quite a lot with the lads. Lee is fine, I live about a five minute walk from his house in Torrequebrada. I know Luis coz he was my mate in Burnley, we played in the same basketball team over there. I still see Steve and Lorraine when they come over and see Mick and Jill. I texted him after Huddersfield got promotion. I remember you working on the Nevada terrace (was that after little Billy from Scotland?).

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 1:01 pm

Ps. Roger moved out to Thailand a couple of years ago and is still there I believe.

There's an Irish bar in the square which always had footy on. I'm staying in Peurto Banus but will be watching in Marbella.

Will try and get over to the lounge bar to watch the West Brom game, thanks for the heads up (in Benalmadena all next week)...it'll be our last full day so will have to take it easy(ish) on the beer!

It was before and whilst Billy was there we worked together for a while. I have not see Mick for a long time but I see Doddy who Mick and Gill came out with originally, as for Roger Thailand is a good fit for him

anyway Vino say hello to the lads for me.

New to the forum.

So anyone going to Benalmadena, you have already been told about the Lounge Bar. Bear in mind it is about 100 yards from Bonanza Square over the road from the Karaoke bar and a little bit hidden away. TV screens all over the place, so most matches shown. Went back in February and had a fab time. Saw Steve who used to have the Nevada Bar and also Billy with his wife who was over visiting. Recently saw Steve and Lorraine in Greenhead Park, Huddersfield going to the Wannasee concert and they both looked really well.
Would have posted a photo of our visit but not sure how to do this. Anyone got any clues?

Longside4evr · Post by **Longside4evr** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 1:13 pm

Brilliant atmosphere on Saturday rammed packed full voice and party spirit
Singing every song from old stuff revisited the Lounge was a live and kicking
So some friends in there I have not seen for sometime it's amazing living thousands of miles away who you bump into
I will be in there again against the Baggies
And their is a good contingent crew of 15 coming over on holiday to swell the already healthy support would love a friendly against Malaga it would be something
See you all their again Saturday to scream us into our best start to a Premier league season
Let's get another monkey off our backs and bong the Baggies out of Town UTC

Claret Kitch · Post by **Claret Kitch** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 1:41 pm

Flying out Wednesday. Looking forward to the Brom game in the Lounge already.

we have a family apartment in Fuengirola and will be down for the palace game looking forward to meeting some of you guys, I used to go to Berties bees in los Boliches but Matty has now gone back to the UK and Ive been looking for a new Burnley bar down there see you soon UTC

Den_Perry · Post by **Den_Perry** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 7:06 pm

Looking forward to visiting the Lounge Bar for the match on Saturday. Hopefully a big 3 points to make our last day a memorable one!

Just a quick question for anyone in the Benalmadena area....where's the best place for a big full English breakfast (got to have at least one on holiday in Spain)? Ideally a place which is open from 9am ish. Thanks in advance!

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 7:46 pm

I haven't been for a few years but there was an Irish bar on the front nr bonanza sq area that did a cracking brekky.

You shouldn't be short of options though.

Longside4evr · Post by **Longside4evr** » Sat Aug 19, 2017 1:41 pm

Off to the Lounge now to meet up with fellow Clarets
Here's hoping for an 100% return UTC

Longside4evr · Post by **Longside4evr** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 10:46 am

Was in on Saturday again brilliant turn out between 60 to 70 Clarets
On information I was given the game this Wednesday will be shown live 8:45 kick off here the talk was that there was four streams of the game so hopefully happy days
Just hope our club field a very strong squad and thoroughly thrash them off the park to make it even more sweeter
This would not only keep them in their rightful place but smash any beliefs that they try to find to hang on in their lets keep our foot on their heads and keep them sinking UTC

Where about is this?

I've been to both new and old town last few nights, spotted a sports bar near the rock , that said he would stick it I for me, but wouldn't mind watching it with a fellow claret.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 9:01 pm

Dave, the landlord, said he has definitely got the game on tomorrow night in the Lounge in Benalmadena.

The Lounge in Benalmadena is brilliant! Came across it 2 years back and watched the Hull away game in there. Was packed full of Clarets!

Any news where abouts this place is?

Asked a few locals where this 8s, and none have a clue ( unless they're playing dumb )

Looks like saffys sports bar unless people can point me in the right direction. ( unless some kind person could take a screenshot of tres palmares and put it on here, they're on Facebook but I ain't) Saffys said they'd put it on for me, and had the WBA game so fingers crossed, I don't get out voted.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Aug 23, 2017 4:35 pm

Think the Lounge (Benalmadena) is between Woodies and Giorgio's, and yes a bit tucked away .

I'm in Calpe, I've got Bar Tres Palmares but don't know where it is or have the phone number ( not having Facebook doesn't help ) nudge nudge wink wink anyone

The other option is go where they Saud they're put it on for me, however I've spotted there's several other games, a couple more high profiled teams and so could get out voted

That's Saffys bar and grill calpe, also no number for.

They are miles away from each other, so can't edge my bets.

So would prefer to have 1 concrete option.

Cheers pal, but number no longer in use.

I'll have to take a chance on saffys, and if no luck Sky sports news it is.

Excellent. Hopefully see some of you there. Coming from La Colina. Which is best train station to get off at and then what are best directions from station. Cheers.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Wed Aug 01, 2018 7:09 pm

Get off at Benalmadena station in the Arroyo de la Miel (Spanish area). Leave station, facing road road turn left to second roundabout (5 mins). At second roundabout turn left down hill, walk down hill til you get close to Ibensa and Bonanza squares (10 mins). You will have no problems finding lounge once you are near the squares. There were about 20 Clarets in there last Thursday for the first leg.
