The Casino

i wonder if anyone can help, on the plane home from our last visit a "tapas bar" called The Casino in Orihuela as recommended to us. No gambling apparently, just some mature spanish gents playing dominoes and a great tapas menu. It's near an under ground car park and the river but that is all I know. Has anyone heard of it or better still been there and could give me directions.

thanks

Hi Young, it's the Casino in Torrevieja. It is a coffee shop too. It's opposite the underground car park, as you say, on the front.

Pat

In the room upstairs they play dominoes & cards etc. Cup of coffee is 1.40€, large glass is 2.20€. Posh wcs. Great to go in & look at even if you're not staying.

Thanks very much, I wondered why i couldn't find anything about it in Orihuela 'cos I was looking in te wrong town, OH very impressed and has promised to do the driving when we go in for a visit.

Once again thank you very much for your help.

Pat, fancy a gamble ? http://www.apartmentspain.co.uk/casino_torrevieja.htm

New casino with roulette, blackjack, poker, baccarat, wheel of fortune and slots. Coffee shop and restaurant. Over 18 years old only id required, passpot or driving license. Buffet every day.

Gaming room open from 1pm to 5am.

Go to the cafe next door to the one with blue seats to the left looking at the front of the Casino. It's called Mediterranean or Mediterrana or similar & order a mug of coffee (as Karensun said "they have sugar lumps" at that cafe. Hang onto your sugar lumps if she's there or she'll have them).  We were there with Karen & her OH & Hudsey & her OH too one morning in January. We sat outside hugging our mugs.  2.20€ a mug, 1.40 a cup. At the casino it's same price for a cup but if you want bigger they sell it in a glass 2.10€. We always order Americanos but it was same price for cafe con leche too. Inside the Casino there's room to sit to the left & to the right there's a piano & they obviously have recitals as there were chairs laid out. Interesting place.
