Crispy Cod got taken over by new owner about 18 months ago. Prices have gone up by +30% from previous owners menu Biggest problem is shrinkflation portion sizes are significantly smaller with smaller plates. Large Atlantic cod is now a medium size cod. Lunch time special used to be medium size cod now it's a small piece of cod............Crazy Cod now very expensive with small portions. Can of Pepsi 2.75 euros!!!!!!!!

Lee, if you get chance go up to Mijas Pueblo, lovely Spanish village in the mountains and not far from Fuengirola. Go visit the Lemon Tree. Owned by some great English lads. Keep em coming love the Costa del Sol 😅

I've always noticed the green man at crossings in Spain seems to be advisory as far as the drivers are concerned, now I just don't even bother to take a chance on it and just wait for a gap in traffic same with Zebra crossings stopping seems to be optional on them as well so be careful.

I had that same question about pedestrian crossings here in SA and I've since learned that vehicles on the road where the crossing is are supposed to stop when the lights are red, but vehicles turning onto the road where the crossing is can still try and get you, however it was explained to me like this, if you get run over while jay walking it's your fault, but if you get legally run over on a pedestrian crossing it's not your fault, so that's nice to know, gives one peace of mind.

The Crispy Cod is one of the best fish and chip shops ever. Believe me over the years I've done plenty of research. There was another contender in Billinge and one in Great Harwood but I haven't been to those for thirty years. The only thing that is odd is eating Fish and Chips in the Spanish heat...Got to be a 9.5 :D

You don't know the word "escalator"? Thanks for the shout out about the Google maps. Glad it helped. Hey Lee, thanks for the education regarding chipped plates, I think I might have heard that before and it seemed like just an old wives tale but I looked it up and you're 100% correct, they really shouldn't be using chipped plates. We use Corning Corell plates which are almost impossible to chip or even break. That should be standard for all restaurants that don't use disposable plates. I thought the chips looked more like fries being so thin. You posted a picture of fish skins the other day. Where was that from? By the way, you should mention how many steps you're getting in every day. You really walk a lot, which is great!

Liked the look of Fuengirola, it brought back memories for the missus as she stayed there years ago with her family. Sad to say the fish n chips looked a bit beige mate. Not a patch on Palms which is probably the only fish n chips in Spain that are like England.

Thought I recognised it. See the hotel to the left of the resta? Used to be called Las Piramedes. Stayed there in 96 with my children and parents but without my ex wife. I'm sure it was just a restaurant in those days and not a fish and chip shop. Went to Fuengirola again with my present wife the year Thomas Cook went bust. Stayed in the Fuengirola Beach Hotel which is just outside the town not on the beach and is more apartments than hotel for £119 half-board for the week. Flights transfers and accommodation

That is called an ESCALATOR in the United States. We have MOVING STAIRS which are flat and you can remain standing on them or walk ahead. These moving stairs are usually to take you from one side of a huge mall to the other side. In Detroit , Michigan, the Somerset Mall has moving stairs from the side with less expensive stores to the other side with very expensive stores like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Ferragamo, Hermes, Neiman Marcus, Ralph Lauren and many other designer stores.
