We went in January 3 years ago and had the most brilliant weather.It was warm and sunny during the day and I only wore a light cardigan on an evening.All the main bars were open,but some of the smaller ones were closed.And yes most guests were 50plus but great fun!

Just come back today after 4 days. First two days drizzled and generally grey and coolish
Last two days were really nice and hot in the sun. Cool at nights though.

I'm going there on Sunday too, just had a pm from a HT member and says most of the clubs open at moment. Steptoes 1 closed for hols but Steptoes 2 open. I think valentines is closed also. Most of rest open but sometimes with a reduced act line up. Wheeltappers has a full bill!. :D

Hiya Woolley

I take it that you haven't glanced at my video thread then? :lol:
http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=58874

A slight correction, it takes place on the evening of the 5th Jan. :wink:
I didn't like that tiger cub being paraded on a leash, the poor thing was scared poo less and that leash just got tighter...but I have a "thing" about tigers....sorry :oops:

See you there then :wink:

Hiya Woolley.
Yes, I do agree that it is something not to be missed, I'm looking forward to this years parade, although it is going to be quite a rush, as we come home early on the 6th. :cry:
Let's just hope it doesn't rain. :wink:

Hello Ive just booked a flight for 16.1.07 for me & my mam as a christmas present

We usually stay in the Presidente but my mam fancies a change

Can anyone suggest somewhere really nice in the same area

We need somewhere that is accessible to a degree as i use a wheelchair but can walk a bit

Ive seen the Marina at a good price - Is that the one with the grey marble walls, im aware that the spanish pensioners will be there in force and want somewhere where there is plenty of English about.

Thanks

Hubby and I escaping for 5days in Jan!!! What do I take???!!! Will a cardi suffice at night or will I need heavier like a fleece or jacket (bleedin' hope not :lol: )

What about during the day?? I know it will be pot luck with the weather.
Reply
Pot luck in the daytime I'm afraid.
Starting off cool early morning and warming up nicely around 11 am (ish) in the sunshine.
Need a cardi early morning especially in the shade, then by mid day, shorts and T-shirts.

Around 5pm (ish) as the sun goes down, the temperatures drop and you notice it more because of the wide differences between day and evening temps....in the summer months there is not a lot of difference between day & night temps.

On average it's between 5 and 8 degrees C, the lowest point being in the early hours, so you def will need a coat at night, as I have known it drop to 2 degrees C.

By the end of the holiday, you could get a job as a stripper, the clothes are off and on more times than sticky Vicky. :lol:

hello gang, looking to go for a weekend in jan with the missus without the kids and was a bit concerned to read that the clubs don't have as many acts on and some are'nt even open .. did anyone go last jan and if so .. break the news to me gently ..
Reply
Yep....we were there for a few days early Jan. Weather was really nice, most of the clubs and bars with live acts on were open, but with perhaps one less act on each, and closing a little earlier if quiet. The odd one was closed for a few weeks, i think valentines and steptoes 1 were closed when we were there, but most others open. Some of the bars in the old town are actually busier in winter than summer. I'm sure you will find more than enough to keep you occupied!

Best Regards - Taggy :)
