alta-pete Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Booked up for Puerto del Rosario in January. AirBnB apartment overlooking the docks. It will remind me of camping out in Peterhead harbour for a pre season game once. Holy post resurrection batman! Never been to PdR (only driven round the bypass) but I expect it’ll be much better than Peterheid. If only for the sun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's better than Las Palmas, most of which is a dirty concrete shithole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking town, if you mean the one on Gran Canaria, you must have gone to the wrong bits. Much better than a concrete tourist hellhole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did we miss? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The town centre was a filthy dump. The outskirts were mainly a load of old and decaying tower blocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Posting from Puerto de Santiago and it’s fucking lovely, hot enough to tan but not hot enough to burn and run indoors and stand under the a/c every half hour, very good restaurants and bars and if you want your Sunday roast and pint of Carling if there’s a few pubs that cover that as well, very few bald English fuckwits, and the coastal scenery is stunning!!!ETA: and the pools are still warm!!![emoji1303] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the general prices like for beer, food any excursions. Prices are fine, restaurants for every taste and you’ll pay accordingly, pints are between €1-€3 again depends where you go. My hotel is all inclusive so I’m filling up on the free San Miguel during the day before having leisurely (large) Ginebra y tónico’s at night!!!Really recommend you try the https://ohanasunsetclub.es/ at least once on your trip, by far the best food, best drinks and the view from the terrace is worth the price alone, but go before it’s too late at night if you want to see the view as it’s pitch black from about 7pm!!!Haven’t done any excursions bar walking around the coast, took the kids gocarting and it was a ripoff, Siam Park isn’t far away and that’s a good day!!!Your also only about 20 minutes away from Playa de las Americas if you fancy it a bit busier!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Nice one KK, beer prices are good. Will probably spend most of the time at beach if weather is ok. Will check out the sunset club, always nice to have one excessive night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji14] Probably not but use buses a lot to get about the island (car hire has got ludicrous) and the pub and restaurant capacity restrictions will be a pain as many places were full / only taking reservations as it was , no vertical drinking as the vernacular goes been allowed yet out there. Numbers have doubled in a week albeit from a low base and way below here. Hopefully they dont keep moving up the levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey KK cheers for the heads up, didn't get to the sunset club as we ended up around the pool/beaches/bars at Los Cristianos found it pretty cheap and came back with some cash, only done one touristy thing and that was go see the whales. Restrictions were coming in as I was leaving and the paperwork/testing is a pain in the arse but was a nice wee break and would go again as I wanted to go do the star gazing trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
