Okay! What's new?

[Tredegar Boy]

Hi all,

It seems that quite are few people have been and gone already and I was wondering what's changed, what's new and what's gone, for example:-

is the Sunset still open?
what about Bar38?
I know there's a new place where Mamma Mia's (not sure of its name) used to be but what about anywhere else?
Are Zorba's, Little Prince, Beachcomber, Olympia (our fav places) still open.

5 weeks this Friday and we'll be there. Oh heck can't wait. Its ridiculous. I'm a grown man for flip sake.

Wasn't open when we left on the 8th June although a few tables turned up outside around the 5th. I was told that they were not opening at all this year but take that for what it's worth.

what about Bar38?

Open and loud as always.

I know there's a new place where Mamma Mia's (not sure of its name) used to be but what about anywhere else?

Called the Mediterranean village. Ate there once, very good. They will do well this year I think, certainly spent a good chunk of change renovating the premises, a good kiddies area a the back to. They also had some good 3 course specials for €9 including fresh sea bream.

Are Zorba's, Little Prince, Beachcomber, Olympia (our fav places) still open.

All open and doing well.

There is also a new take away / gyros place opposite the condor called 'delicious take away' or something like that. They were working hard to get the place open just before we left.

5 weeks this Friday and we'll be there. Oh heck can't wait. Its ridiculous. I'm a grown man for flip sake.

Thanks for that D@G

for me the biggest change was the beach, especially up by Mango and Havana the gales we had whilst we were there saw to that and how far the sea is coming up to the back of the beach. They have also put in a sturdy bridge where the river comes out on to the beach.
We left Saturday and it was still free sunbeds outside the restaurants. We got the impression (language difficulties here) that waves and mistral will continue to leave their own beds in front and would introduce some method of payment tied in to using them. Maybe no one bid for the licence for that part of the beach. Irene told us the cost is anything from E5000 to E20,000 depending whereabouts on the beach the bid is for.

Where exactly has the car-hire moved to?

[IrisG]

The car hire is up in what I think is a new building next to Elizabeth's jewellers. The doctor is there, too, in an office at the side.
There's also another new travel office next to Bar 38.
Sunset has just about opened, though as far as I can see, they're only doing drinks and snacks, not proper meals.
