March
We are now home from two great weeks in Gran Canaria. We stayed at the Corona Blanca Apartments in Playa del Ingles which is a great location both for the beach and the bars & nightlfe in the Kasbah and Plaza centres.
We met up with our Spanish friend who had sold his share in his restaurant and opened three catering stalls in the Holiday World fairground. He brought his new girlfriend and all went out for a Tappas Meal.
We met up with our other friends in some of the many bars and managed to dance almost every night. The bar 'Dunes & Tunes' by the beach had a good guitar player on every afternoon and in the evenings. Besides the afternoons we went there several evenings and it was filled with a team of amateur Swiss footballers who made some great party nights.
'Fantasy Island' is another of our favourite bars together with 'The Garage and 'Sugar Blue Moon'. Sugar played Beatles and Rock & Roll music specially for us and it was our last call on many nights.
Unfortunately the creeping cancer of the 'all inclusive' holiady is getting there which means that a lot of people do not go out at night but stay in their hotels. Eventually they will cause many bars and cafes to close down and lots of local people to be out of work.
