Anchovy front- shame on you, not letting Cheryl in on the Spanish birthday tradition! Cheryl, he needs to buy you a drink as the Spanish invite their friends on their birthday!
I've stayed at Los Amigos, wow, exactly 10 years ago (how time flies). Anyway, it's a bit out of the city buy they have transportation and you can catch a bus from the road- duh, you're hiring a car. Nevermind. It's right across from the beach. Steer clear of the people trying to sell timeshares. If you choose to bathe topless at the pool, you'll surely be chatted up by many British men while their wives smack them with their handbags.

Shhh, nevado!! Don't let anybody know that!!

There is a supposedly (I haven't been yet) good beach bar now across the road from Los Amigos, called The Chicken Shack, with live music good food etc. It's not quite beach weather though Cheryl, today as it is pouring with rain. Never mind, good to get it out the way before you arrive!

To all of you out there who have been of so much help, a big THANK YOU!! Today is the day I'm up and away ... look out Spain
Anchovy Front, I'll give you a call for sure and have a great birthday :p
See you all when I get back Byeeeee

Quick update to cheer you, Cheryl, as if you needed it! The sun has got its hat on today.....our washing is on the line, so we are confident that there will be no more rain! As I went past Los Amigos last night, I noticed that The Chicken Shack has been mysteriously lifted up by an alien force and dropped down a further kilometre along the beach! Methinks I possibly had the wrong corner in mind! Enjoy your flight.

Cheryl - I was lucky enough to be able to spend some time with AnchovyFront and family in March (yeah - since getting home in April - it's been hectic!!!! and just now I'm able to get caught up - and come back to my favorite website). Follow his advice on where to go - what to see - and so forth. I was able to not only discover some wonderful and unique spots - but also revise some long-held opinions (based on early travels to Spain) much to my pleasure. Hope you and your husband have a wondeful time - and a very Happy 21st birthday Anchovey!

Anchovey!

Congrats! 21? Geez! I had no idea! I was 21 once... It was so long ago... I think Moses was celebrating his 35th at the same time.

Thank you for those kind words, chaps! It was a pleasure to help out, Puna. Good to see you back on the board.

21st birthday?? A bit closer if you double and add a few! A good time was had, though and two days on, my head still hurts.......

Ah well, folks - so I fibbed a bit about the age ... Glad to Glad to hear your birthday was a smashing success. And yes, the double entendre was intended!
