A couple of times during the summer, I was fortunate enough to visit La Tortuga Rock Bar in La Vinuela. The bar is tucked away in the old village next to the Vinuela hotel.
This is an excellent music bar, with videos showing outside on a huge whitewashed wall. Live music is available inside the bar and if no live acts are on, a good selection of mainly English music is played through the sound system.
The first time I went to the bar to see the Free Soul Band, who were due on stage at midnight. The band eventually arrived at about 2 am and played through til about 4am! They were so good that i returned to see them again.
The band play a lot of old r&b and soul stuff, in the style of James Brown and the Blues Brothers and create a real party atmosphere. I'm not really sure how many there are in the band as the stage is too small to accommodate them all, the sax and trombone players were in amongst the crowd!
Here is a sample of what to expect, and needless to say, if you get a chance to see them take it!
