Mr Cityboy wants to go there this summer. Just come back from Menorca which was nice only packed with children so not recommended in the holidays.

Guest Ron Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I've just come back from Hungary, very cheap sports stuff & nice people. Bought a Rotiero Match Ball for under £15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepers Ball Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Go to Gran Canaria...you'll love itPuerto Rico is lovely but the only small problem with the place is that a lot of Hotels are on the hills so nights out are definately by Taxi but I guarantee the views are great.The best weather for Gran Canaria is definately around Sept/October ,temperature about 30-35 degrees which even I can put up with.At the centre of the town is a square full of bars and shops.Very lively and reasonable in price.If you don't mind being on the hill (which I might add has wonderful views) may I recommend the Hotel " PUERTO AZUL"http://www.directholidays.co.uk/book/atopw...as/atopweb.aspx If you like dolphins go to Mogan the next town.you can take a boat trip where loads of Dolphins happily swim alongside the boat.Definately my highlight there.

Keepers Ball Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Plenty of drinking yes but if you mean with a bunch of "Head the balls" then no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazareth Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I lived in Gran Canaria for 4 months, although I was in the city of Las Palmas, which is to the North of the airport. The main tourist area (playa del ingles) is to the South. Anyway, it's a nice island and I recommend it for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirling Ted Smith Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 I went to Valladolid for a week and had a brill time. It's north central Spain. It's cheap with great food and as it's a university town has reasonable nightlife - nowhere near the variety of the coast. It's a popular tourist place for the Spanish but us Brits rarely leave the coast. Well, this place has a beach! They import sand and apart from the lack of sea stretching to the horizon, you'd know no different. We had a 4* hotel £20 each a night. Also the flights are cheap with Ryanair.
