    That's the thing about Benidorm, loads of 1 Euro beer offers, large beer, during the day almost everywhere! And in many bars in the evening too, like John & Joseph's on Calle Gerona.

    There's a bar called Tiki Beach right on the seafront overlooking the sea, where the beer's 1 Euro in the day and live music on, too. Can't get much better than that.

    And in Tenerife, especially the area known as The Patch, large beer's either 1 Euro or 1.5 Euros.

    So cheap beer's far from extinct in those places!:beer:

    Tiki Beach bar - think the beer is euro fifty in the day but i could be wrong, but dont want to pick a fight as whats half a euro between mates!!!!!!. Still loads better than the 2 euro fifty bars around the rest of the med coast. Anyway, worth being there at midday when the spray machines get activated
  • I have been looking for holiday in Turkey, any suggest for Olu in Dalamam, look like a nice place.
    Thanks
    :beer:
  • I live part time near to Torremolinos and reading the type of holiday your Sister wants then I would definitely say stick to Benidorm. It is getting quieter and quieter on Costa del Sol and some nights when we walk around a lot of the bars are empty.
    Not the same kind of fun as Benidorm and not as cheap either.

    It went up to 1 Euro 50 around beginning of July, and the barman said it will go back down to 1 Euro beginning of September.

    The spray machines really cool you down but leave your hair frizzed:):) and that bar wrecks any good intentions you may have of no beer dring the day!!
  • It'll be warmer in Torremolinos than Benidorm

    Not a problem for me.......... I never have that intention :beer:, and as for frizzy hair, well, I dont have to worry about that either. :)
