Didn't know there was any social life in Oliva,wasn't much when I lived there 10yrs ago,apart from the brit bar"sportsman" I think,thats if you felt you needed to be among the beer swilling,fag burning people who just went to do the same in there as they did back in blighty,just a bit cheaper,and with sun.
Sagantana bar on Oliva Nova golf was a nice place to have a drink and a bite to eat,my good old friend Paul"slacky" used to own it,nice guy from Exeter,might still be there.
Go down to Denia if you want a nice resteraunt or 2,nice walk to settle the meal,down on the waterfront.

I think Oliva has changed a bit since 10 years ago. Plenty of bars and restaurants, and some good ones too! Also quite a number of restaurants down on Oliva Playa now, and part of it has been pedestrianised

There is a pub (I think, English one) where they do ´conversation classes´English-Spaniish, at 8pm on Fridays, might have to go there with Mark, so he can meet other people and practice a bit, since we don´t really speak spanish at home...

Only problem with it is that the Spanish only want to speak English, so your chances to converse in Spanish are sometime limited

Stravinsky, I am spanish myself, so I don´t really want to speak Spanish! Mark is English, so we speak English at home, but I think it would be nice for him to join some social groups where there are other spanish people so he can practice a bit.
