Description of the existing bar
THE MAIN BAR
This
is the heart of Bar Time & Place, it combines beautiful art
deco interiors with traditional Spanish architecture. Visitors
are first struck by the natural rock face behind
the bar, which has been carefully treated to ensure the integrity
of the bar while maintaining its natural beauty (remember this
is a historic listed building which is believed to go back to pre
Christian, Moorish Spain). The walls are about a metre thick.
The bar counter itself runs in a long curve from back to front
in an subtle S bend and is made of beautifully
hand laid and polished oak parquets.
Above the counter, handcrafted
lights on dimmers and clever use of mirrors complete the effect, creating
a room where several small groups can enjoy a quiet chat – or where
a large group can have a secluded party.
Air conditioning and large overhead fans ensure that conditions are
comfortable whilst remaining unobtrusive. In winter, the heat
from the wood stove in the cave keep temperatures warm and cosy.
The total square metres
of the building, excluding terraces, is 207 square metres.
THE TERRACE
The beautiful Plaza
del Flores (plaza of flowers) provides the backdrop for the bar
terrace, which is opens out onto the street along the front of the
bar. Being a pedestrian area only, customers are never bothered with
the intrusion and fumes of traffic which often spoil the open areas
of other bars.
The key word here is relaxation – it’s easy
to get lost in a long drink in probably the most tranquil part
of the town, amidst the flowers and the scent of the bougainvillea
blossoms.
THE STREET 
Tables are set along the street immediately opposite the
bar, from before Easter until usually sometime in October
and so more than double the bar's capacity in the tourist
season, while allowing people to sit outside in the rare
peace of a car free pedestrian street while, enjoying the
freshest of outdoor ambience... all in all,
the perfect spot to unwind
and relax...!
THE
CAVE
This stunning natural cave
attracts visitors throughout
the entire year. The
beautiful rock face creates
wonderful atmospherics for
those who prefer a drink in
romantic surroundings. The
natural temperature stability
inherent in caves, keeps it
comfortable in even the hottest
weather, while in winter the
wood burning stove retains
a discreet but cosy warmth. |
