Hi Barri - I too own a small house not far from the Haberneras - there is a lovely Italian Restaurant called Giovanni's - serves Steaks, Lamb, Chicken, as well as Pasta & Pizzas - they also have a Menu of the day - 3 courses for under 15euros - I've never had a bad meal there - head past St James Gate (large Irish pub on opposite side of the road ) and turn right at the Large Wooden building at the traffic lights (ex Steak house) - it's just a few units along on the right
There's also Live music on at the 1st pub on the corner opposite St James gate - every Friday night from 21.00-12.00 - has a large triangular outside garden - in May it was a Blues Saxaphone player/Singer and he was really good
All the expats in the area flock to The Marina Bar which is behind the Fire Station (Bomberos) - it has a large swimming pool which you can use all day for 3.5 euros - very inexpensive drinks and live Jazz every Tuesday lunchtime - they also have excellent food.
The Torrevieja Friday market has moved to the new park next to the Aqua park - just past the Haberneras (next roundabout and turn left) - takes me 15mns to walk there
Go to the Tourist offices down at the Marina and ask what's on - there's invariably music or entertainment that's not always advertised in the freebie newspapers!
