Torremolinos is proper old school tourism - its years since I was there but its nice to see all the original old buildings, streets and alleys haven't been bulldozed to make way for modern high rises
Hi lee plz don't miss out the smaller towns like la cala de mijas, calahonda, riveria del, sol , cabopino beach great places well worth a visit and a vlog ❤
Looked great! Torremolinos used to be twinned with Stockport, there was or is a kind of monument on the outskirts if you walked down the road from Benalmadena saying Glorieta a Stockport or suchlike.
Hi Lee apologies if already commented on your video but not seen it go up. Anyway love your videos Torromolenos looks like nice place. Fish&Chips looked nice I would given it 7&a half out 10 but 7 about right. Happy New Year for 2024.👍
Yes, it reminded me of the battered cod I used to buy from my local Co-op when I lived in the UK. Cook from frozen in the oven which would also explain why it was "wet".
I grew up in Benal. I'm back on the 4th October. My Dad lives in Aguila. I recommend going seeing the DJ Danny McKnight at the Irish bar on the square. You will smile your head off!
Hi Lee,Happy New Year for 2024🎉 Seen your video looks nice in Torromolenos our family going there&Benalmadina in July. Fish&Chips looked nice I would given about 7& a half out of 10 but 7 about right love your videos keep them coming👍
Yeah I agree Lee 7/10, the chips looked nice (different variety of spuds in spain = probably `Agria` variety), also yes the fish looked wet (should be drier for batter coating).
I had fish chips and curry sauce last night. No peas, no drink and it cost nearly £12 (€13.76) Best chippy in town imo. The fish you had, Lee, looked more substantial tbh.
Hi Lee I'll be doing the same trip as you in a few weeks time torremilinos first then benalmedena and the rest of the Costa del sol enjoy I'll check that fish bar out as well☺
It's just as easy to walk to the beach . When we were there we walked to the beach from our hotel the Marcomfort Grecko.,about half a kilometre beautiful beach.
Enjoyed that video Lee. 7 seemed fair for the meal - was definitely frozen fish. Looking forward to the next one. Still don't know who Phil & Janice are (2 more mentions today - 3 in the last one) - and we don't give a ****. More please MM.
He, McMaster, thinks he is funny when he takes a dig at subscribers and viewers who point out that he needs to eat the food of the country he is visiting. His sarcasm ( calling these viewers 'Phil and Janice') will only serve to make some viewers not subscribe and subscribers unsubscribe. One can only take so much of his ignorant, inflexible attitude to doing what enlightened, open - minded You Tubers do on their channels as they travel to foreign countries. For example, You Tubers like Mark Wiens, Davidsbeenhere, etc.
Actually Susie, I get more subscribers from the videos where I have a laugh with "Phil and Janice" Maybe I will introduce a Susie in my next vlog ;) x Lighten up life's too shot mi duck x
I don't know why the portions of chips are so small these days 🤔. Potatoes are still cheap in the supermarkets so I don't know why fish and chip shops and restaurants pubs etc are being tight with the portions. ☹️
Next time your in Scotland lee try some fish and chips in a place called Gourdon in the north east. It’s a small fishing village just in the Aberdeenshire border
If you're back on the beer (in moderation of course) try the Victoria Malaga. As Spanish beers go it's far above the likes of San Miguel (which I still won't touch 10 years after a week in Ibiza).
So happy to see you back abroad and exploring Lee! Thanks again for your work and great content. p.s. I'm going to start tallying the amount of times Phil and Janice are mentioned per video 😂
The lift just down below from Hotel Ritual is in the bungalow complex, and it's free!! Enjoy the rest of your adventure, saying that you may need a key for the lift at the ritual end 🤣
Hi Lee, I think 7 is ok based on looks. Those chips looked like frozen or fresh ones that you buy pre-prepared in a large bag, so not the proper chipped freshly peeled/chipped potatoes. I suspect the fish was cooked from frozen hence being so wet. Fresh fish fillets only take around 7-10 mins to fry as the fish "steams" inside the batter, so the fish flesh itself is not greasy or wet. if wet, then cooked from frozen.
To generous with your score Lee no way was that 7 out of 10 the reason the fish was wet is because the oil in the fryer wasn't at the correct temperature to fry the fish so retained the water inside the batter plus the batter was too thick it looked more like a wrapper for a parcel that just coating the fish lol at best a 2 out of 10 from me curry sauce looked horrible enjoy the rest of your holiday happy eating .
Hi iv been going to Costa del sole since 1996 never been in lift 😮💚but great fun finding out all this I’ve stop in in hotels all over no place inside out have friend & family live there to love ❤️ there is some easy ways down to beach in TORAMADENOS 😮😢😅😊LEE
@codyjarrett9685 😄 No. I just like it. I found out about it because It's the 4th best on Trip advisor in the area and reasonably priced. Lime and Lemon is nice, too, but more expensive.
I think most chippies have their good and bad days, if what they've got isn't the freshest they're not going to turn you away, go back there tomorrow and the fish might sow your blocks off, it's very much like that here in SA.
You went!!!! So glad you made it to the Bonanza chippy!!! The guy who runs it with his wife, (if it is still them) also runs the Feathers, Matt. My parents in law were there last night they are gutted they missed you!! Xx
@@TheMacMaster 😎 I wondered if they were still there. Enjoy the Costa del Sol, we are off to Benidorm Friday, we’ll catch up with you on your travels one day!!!! 😊 x
looked like an Iceland special, frozen everything, cooked in the deep fat fryers for show? Only a 1 from me. But I liked the cash only bit...(use it or lose it scenario). Great to follow you on your journey's though Lee 👍
Try oceans in benalmadena they are highly rated think you should of stayed in benalmadena it's more central for you easy access to torrimolenos and fengurola
It's quite hard to compare fish and chips abroad to the UK mate. The curry sauce looked good to me as I like thickness. Agree with you on the chips. Fish looked nice even though I thought the batter looked a bit hard. Mushy peas I can give or take. Price was a bit high for what you got so I think your score of 7/10 was fair given that its abroad. I'll go 6.8/10 buddy. Thanks for the video mate. Great and honest as always👍
Love Benalmadena. Been there a couple of times before we discovered Tenerife. Really nice place. The marina there is special.Thanks as always for the quality vlog👍
Kev the Scotsman did the same trip using the train to get from Malaga to Benalmedena ,Fungerola ,Torremolinas. It is one of his best trips id say . So any advice on the trains etc he would be ideal Lee .
Torremolinos is proper old school tourism - its years since I was there but its nice to see all the original old buildings, streets and alleys haven't been bulldozed to make way for modern high rises
Great Video Lee, I Love Navy Blue it's Lovely and I Love Fish and Chips, Mushy Peas it's Lovely
done the beach walk both ways many times n never get tired of it its a beutifull walk when holidaying in benalmadena
Enjoyable video as usual. Cheered us up on this dull, wet and cold evening on the Norfolk Broads.
Hi lee plz don't miss out the smaller towns like la cala de mijas, calahonda, riveria del, sol , cabopino beach great places well worth a visit and a vlog ❤
Another cracking video, looked very nice, your standard good looking fish and chips, looked like an 8 👍
I agree with your score...tides is the best in los cris...great vlog looking forward to more on this trip 😊
10 for the girders, 8 for the fish supper, great video Lee.
Kind regards,
Johnny
😊😊😊😊😊Looks very yummy big piece of fish. I give a 10 for looks.😊😊😊😊
Looked great! Torremolinos used to be twinned with Stockport, there was or is a kind of monument on the outskirts if you walked down the road from Benalmadena saying Glorieta a Stockport or suchlike.
That whole meal looked like it had been cooked from frozen to me. 6/10 and I'm being generous there.
Good video especially cod and chips looks so nice bet its tasty, score it 8,
I Love Christmas 🎄
The original Mac master is back ❤
😊😊😊😊You better take us with you Lee. LOL Fish and chip pies let’s go😊😊😊😊
Fish looked very uniformed in shape says frozen to me 🤔🤨❤
You can put that bottle opener where the sun doesn’t shine 😂😂😂😂😂
Good to see you travelling again Lee 😉
Good to see you back in your natural environment in Spain
Hi Lee apologies if already commented on your video but not seen it go up.
Anyway love your videos Torromolenos looks like nice place.
Fish&Chips looked nice I would given it 7&a half out 10 but 7 about right.
Happy New Year for 2024.👍
Looked like an oven fish to me. I could be wrong. 🤔 🐠
Yes, it reminded me of the battered cod I used to buy from my local Co-op when I lived in the UK. Cook from frozen in the oven which would also explain why it was "wet".
Oceans fish and chips is the best in Benalmadena 😍 doubt you'll see this while still there but highly recommend, even for a future visit!
I looked for Oceans and it shows Bonanza. Can you google it and Paste a Link Please.
Oceans is far the best in the resort..try it the next time your there.
Place looks lovely and clean enjoy
LEE! We are both on the same page! I gave it a 7 as well!❤
Lee you need to check the burger van opposite the Sunset beach club hotel - the best burgers on the Costa👍
I used to go to Torremolinos in the late 60’s and early 70’s before Benidorm became popular, and it’s hardly changed.
Great Vlog remember the Icelandic cod. Sunset inn, you have passed it already & the breakfast is great.
I grew up in Benal. I'm back on the 4th October. My Dad lives in Aguila. I recommend going seeing the DJ Danny McKnight at the Irish bar on the square. You will smile your head off!
Love love love the fish and chips and British food ones 😊
Hi Lee,Happy New Year for 2024🎉
Seen your video looks nice in Torromolenos our family going there&Benalmadina in July.
Fish&Chips looked nice I would given about 7& a half out of 10 but 7 about right love your videos keep them coming👍
Very generous I’ll go 5.
Yeah I agree Lee 7/10, the chips looked nice (different variety of spuds in spain = probably `Agria` variety), also yes the fish looked wet (should be drier for batter coating).

Hello Lee so love that part of the coast food is amazing ❤
Hi Lee I'll be doing the same trip as you in a few weeks time torremilinos first then benalmedena and the rest of the Costa del sol enjoy I'll check that fish bar out as well☺
A solid 6.4. Looking forward to the series and stay hydrated
It's just as easy to walk to the beach . When we were there we walked to the beach from our hotel the Marcomfort Grecko.,about half a kilometre beautiful beach.
Hi Lee
You might qs well be at home mate all these fish and chips
Lol. 😂 ok Phil. 😉 you mean in the rain. 😜❤️
The Bonanza Chippy is opposite where I stay from Wednesday for 3 weeks.. enjoy your fish n
Chips 🍟 😊😊
It has new owners since I was there in march 😅
looks great ta me..seeing as an irish man cooked it...10/10
We're over for mate's birthday Lee, don't think we'll be racing to go there, looked okay-ish but I'm sure we can find better, 7 a tad generous. 21:29
Go to Oceans for fish n chips, you wont be disappointed
Señor Mac Master

you do a lovely job bringing us into your trip when you stop and say come on let's go and it's really nice the beach was beautiful
Is there a chip shortage in Spain 😂
I was just about to put that in the comments you beat me to it, at least the fish looks ok
That’s what I thought!…
I don't know why the portions of chips are so small these days 🤔. Potatoes are still cheap in the supermarkets so I don't know why fish and chip shops and restaurants pubs etc are being tight with the portions. ☹️
There is actually in canaries anyway
@@doffis100 oh well, that explains it then…blimey 😏
Amazed balls. They picked out a proportion of what I wrote apart from the " oh that's a Shame I thought you were serious"
Thanks for sharing

Right from the start I knew you weren't happy and my first impression i didn't like the look of it so totally agree with you
Great to see you back to what you do best , bringing the sunshine to us ones that cant travel , mind take care and don't over do it 💙🏖️☀️🍽️🥛🍦💙 xx
Ive had to go out n buy Fish n chips now Thanks for that Lee x
looked like birds eye frozen battered fish
So happy to see you back abroad and exploring Lee! Thanks again for your work and great content. p.s. I'm going to start tallying the amount of times Phil and Janice are mentioned per video 😂
Love you your TH-cam video so much, and I watch your TH-cam video and I am currently subscribed to your TH-cam channel
I would give a 8 on looks
That looked good
Took me 2 years to find that damn lift lol , handy for going up but easy enough walking down . That hill up is a killer !
The lift just down below from Hotel Ritual is in the bungalow complex, and it's free!! Enjoy the rest of your adventure, saying that you may need a key for the lift at the ritual end 🤣
Fish looks great
Looked ok. Don’t think it was fresh fish Lee. Hope you’re having a nice day. 🥰☀️🥰xxx

Tell you what Lee that fish looks absolutely delicious nice size proper belting review as usual,keep nice and safe while your in Spain.
Great to see You on your travels again Lee....My wife always comments on your tiny mouth when eating😂
Hi Lee, 7/10 was a little high. Suspicious of triangular uniform battered fish. I think the fish was a frozen fillet, and that is why it was wet.
Curry sauce looked like setting cement 🤔
My local Chinese do small chips£2.20 ands its 4 times the portion you had
Also the chicken is rubbery
Frozen fish 💯
Looks ❤ly Lee 😊💎❤️xx
To generous with your score Lee no way was that 7 out of 10 the reason the fish was wet is because the oil in the fryer wasn't at the correct temperature to fry the fish so retained the water inside the batter plus the batter was too thick it looked more like a wrapper for a parcel that just coating the fish lol at best a 2 out of 10 from me curry sauce looked horrible enjoy the rest of your holiday happy eating .
Hi Lee, have been there in the past and not that impressed! Amazing chippy on the main road in Benalmadena called Oceans, could not fault it!
That's the one,knock spots off this place,bonanza square is the Benidorm of Benalmadena
A nice Sunny day, unlike here…. It’s bloody miserable. Enjoy Lee
Hi iv been going to Costa del sole since 1996 never been in lift 😮💚but great fun finding out all this I’ve stop in in hotels all over no place inside out have friend & family live there to love ❤️ there is some easy ways down to beach in TORAMADENOS 😮😢😅😊LEE
Fish nice and white...what colour were you expecting? 8 chips and what looked to be a Young's battered fillet 2 in a box
Lee,hurry back food glory at Nottingham Forest 😮😮😮 Pizza Dogs .Margarita Pizza.Frankfurter Sausage. Fold Pizza, insert Frankfurter Enjoy❤❤❤❤Allan&Family
Go to Malbec Wine club in Benalmadena. You need to book it in advance though. The food is lovely.
Do you own it ?

Check out the cable car in Benelmadena 👍 horse show at the top 👍
I’d say a 7.5, curry sauce had a skin on it, peas looked watery

Hi lee fish and chips dont look too bad 6 for me 🤗😊
I love skin on fish but sadly can't get it in Yorkshire 😢😢
Plenty of chippies in East Yorkshire do skin on.
Kev the Scotsman did the same trip using the train to get from Malaga to Benalmedena ,Fungerola ,Torremolinas. It is one of his best trips id say . So any advice on the trains etc he would be ideal Lee .
Good to see you back in spain
I was here in June and last week and wanted to get to the beach. When the guy wanted 50C I told him to jog on and walked down, it's only 5 mins.😉😂
So so lee ! Little john from chichester (7)
