Benidorm

[cailin maith]

I go up there quite often at the weekend. The old part of the town is really nice , some good tapas bars etc. The bit where all the british beer boys go to is the north end of Playa Levante. Loads of English pubs there & all the hotels are full of brits but all the way along the rest of the beach there are some good places to drink. Not really Spanish style, more like theme bars but done quite tastefully IMO. There's one in particular, the name of which escapes me, but it's got a sort of Balinese theme and has a outside area with water features & windchimes etc and you can sit there on a nice comfy white sofa & while away the day drinking tinto de verano, or whatever your poison is.
By the way, do you plan on going to see Sticky Vicky while you are there?

Agree with you about the Tapas Bars though... brilliant in the old town and that little church thingy (it is a church isn't it) on the headland bit that separates Levante and Poniente - very pretty!

SA - I had my last one there - a whole week - 19 of us... I don't remember much of that week!! But yep - I'll be doing it again

I do however remember being in Rockys and all of us on stage singing Chers, I believe

Wishful thinking - when I was there last it was her daughter who was the "star" seems like she inherited the talent of the family...

I saw her open a beer bottle with something you should never open a beer bottle with. Take the urban out of legend I think ...

Are you suggesting she's getting drier as she ages?
