Re: Summer Holiday Thread

Mahon is OK for a few nights. Fish market is good for tapas type food and beers/wines. Buses are reliable and take you all over the island June 15th to September 15th. Otherwise, outside the main tourist season you can get to the main towns easily. That said, apart from Cuitadella there isn't much in the other towns. There's harbour tours in glass-bottomed boats, trips to see the forts. Generally, Mahon is a chilled kind of place. Palma has much more to see and do.

Her sister used to be in Mahon but now just outside in Es Castell. I like Mahon, and as you say buses take you to different beaches. I've done 10 days with little kids without the need to hire a car based in Mahon. Luxury to come home, shower, and just sit staring into space with wine and good food without the maddening crowds.

With a car, the entire island is a piece of piss.

The tourist booze places

You can’t have been then. Benidorm is what you want it to be, raucous in parts of the new town, quieter in other parts. The old town is charming, lovely beaches, quaint cobbled streets. There’s some smashing boat trips, taking you to small towns and villages around the coast, very, would you believe it, Spanish. Wonderful Palm Sunday parade last year, a brilliant spectacle on the Sunday morning regardless of your religious beliefs or non beliefs.

Tenerife has a variety of different resorts. You can make your holiday what you want. Had a great trip up to and through the mountains recently, breathtaking scenery, hidden mountain villages stuck in time.

You shouldn’t stereotype places, go to these places, the diversity is evident if you care to explore.

I’ve been to Tenby and witnessed some sights mind. Plenty of pissed up stag and henlike things going on there as well from early on in the day. As I said, holidays, wherever they be, are what you make of them. You haven’t got to sit in a pub all day, there’s usually loads of different things to do in most holiday resorts, that’s why they’re so popular with all walks of life.

....not forgetting the local gin for a sundowner. A useful hark back to the days of British occupation.
