Travel agents and tour operators have brought some reassurance to industry professionals from the Costa del Sol

:: PILAR MARTÍNEZ / PEDRO LUIS GÓMEZ LONDON. The uncertainty still surrounding Brexit was a central theme at this year’s World Travel Market in the Excel centre in Lon- don, as destinations from around the world gathered to secure their slice of the normally lucrative Brit- ish tourist market. With the UK being the country that sends most holidaymakers to Spain, any potential effects of a hard or soft exit from the EU were on delegates’ minds at the fair that ran from Monday to Wednesday this week. Tourism authorities on a national, regional and provincial level were cautious when it came to making pre- dictions for the immediate future after Brexit. “Not even Boris Johnson The president and vice-president of the Junta with Costa del Sol mayors, councillors and other authorities. :: SALVADOR SALAS knows,” pointed out one of the Costa del Sol mayors. tourists for the coming year.

RESTAURANTE EL PESCADOR, A MARINE EXPERIENCE FOR THE SENSES

ESTEPONA / GUADALMMINA With a Mediterranean tradition, and in honour of its more than 180 kilometres of coastline, seafood cuisine is without a doubt the star of Malaga’s gastronomy. In keeping with the maxim that “the fresher the prime materials, the simpler the recipe”, it is based on culinary meth- ods such as oven baking or grid- dling, stewing or frying, with the correct techniques and the necessary care to get it just right. Therefore, when it comes to choosing a restaurant at which to enjoy it, one should always choose the best. With fresh fish and seafood from the markets in Estepona and Marbella, El Pescador is a benchmark for seafood gastronomy culture in the province. Owner and alma mater Al- fonso Garrido’s main goal is to “pass what the sea serves up every day on to his clients.” A cuisine characterised by honesty and commitment to top quality products at all times. As Garrido explains: “Our menu is based on the prime materials from the quality supplier in the area and the nearest mar- All with an attentive, profes- kets, we’re still renewing the With fresh fish and sional service that takes care of menu and including dishes that Trick-free product every little detail to guarantee combine prime materials from seafood from the diners’ enjoyment and comfort. the area with a fusion of fash- cuisine markets in An excellence which is evi- ionable cuisines such as Asian.
