We are two nice 40's guys going to central CdS (Fuen and Benal) at the end of June.
As the information on bars is utterly dismal, we made a list of the best bars in the area (codes are: drink price in euros, name/location, description and comment, resort first letter, try= T, and rating number). They are ranked and in resort order. It is designed to be our opinion for men (and women) behaving badly despite their age.
Please mail if you have any others that are lively and play music (but not yet another one unit sky and chips bar unless it has something very special - like customers!). If you want the original (pdf or html) which has all the correct formatting then drop me a line.

This could be just me, but i'm a tad confused with the coding system.
I get that the first letter is the resort i.e B -Benalmadena, F- Fuengirola etc.
Not sure what the 'T' 'V' and 'N' stand for.
Am assuming that the number on the end is for marks out of 10?
have you actually been in all of these bars!
That`s a very good question senorita

No it's the result of extensive reports from our network and meta data research. But you are welcome to suggest others, refine the report or ask to be an involved. We are intending to do the final on site inspections (in accordance with euronorm ISO 9000 - quality assurance of european bars - music playing ) after recruiting the finest specialists for our full team at the end of June. We might even get a clip board.
To be honest I find it very insulting to call it just a pub crawl. Any British guy will tell you this is important stuff. What if we end up in the wrong sort of bar - with gangsters on the door, gangsters on the sound system, a miserable barmaid, 10 euro drinks, knife fights outside and its dirty (glasses not girls - girls would be ok).
Or even worse still they let children in.
PS The coding is simple Try, View and No. You really need to know these things if you're going to pass the inspectors exam.
I feel that I am personally qualified to comment on most of the bars mentioned in the Fuengirola/Los Boliches area, having frequented one or two from time to time. Now don't be getting the wrong idea about me being a party animal, i've just lived here a long time, that's my excuse anyway.
Finally going back to the code the 'V' means view only? Just from the outside? not test the goods? What kind of inspectors are these?
You being a local johnny, you could be very useful to us on this one. Send your info to me directly via the "PM" who will pass it on to me. You will find his button secretly hidden somewhere under my message.
Time's short, so view may simply be a report or "drive by" shooting from the hire car with the minolta. Back at the ranch the unpleasant and sordid job of checking customer numbers and more particularly chap'esses, will be carried out by the backroom boys. They are more suited to this sort of sad occupation - no place for a lady.
There will certainly be no drinking for other than qualified senior inspectors and only on the final June inspection. With over 100 bars on the list and 2,000 in the field any such lone attempt would be madness and certain death. You have what it takes but don't try to take this on alone with some magnificant but futile attempt, we will all need help at some stage. Even if its just to get back from a mission.
To qualify as senior inspector there are over 20 years of consumption of strange concoctions in many thousands of wild and unusal locations (including bradford) whilst sufferring the torture of indecipherable drum and bass and rap, being led away from the dance floor for being too old and an embarassment to the clientele, not having any idea what was going on, being ostracised for not having your Y fronts hanging out the back of billy bunters gardening jeans, etc. And the exams are hell - you have to drink till you are ill every Friday and Saturday night for three years (15-18) and then carry on drinking but not ever be ill again, forever or you lose all your status immediately.
Don't worry I'm sure you have much useful experience and you just need to pass the fast access initiation test on our arrival (presently it's buying the first round).
You need to know the immortal words of our religous inspiration -
Father Hacket - "Gurlz Drinnk Drinnk" (need to work on this for a laadeee member, bit sexist I recon)
and of course our patron saint - Madonna
"Holidaayyy" (think Madonna's quite good with ladies, so that's alright)
Finally I'm sure you are left with just one burning question.
"Why doesn't this guy grow up and get a life"
Good point.
Finally I'm sure you are left with just one burning question.
"Why doesn't this guy grow up and get a life"
In the words of meatloaf.....
You took the words right out of my mouth.

Serching for a list of Torre bars (don't tell the soup dragon in the glass box) and we found yours. You're a nutter, but we like you.
We're five girlies and Linda, who work in a Manc call centre (well sometimes ... when we're being timed by the dragon). Last year we spent all week in the Open arms singing karaoke, this year we are going to get away from the football (and our partners...!).
We are going to make Linda write down our comments on the best torre pubs at dinner time and send a PM. Can we be in on the pub crawl, oops inspection, as we don't know much about banal and fuengirlzrolla?
Annie (bodies) can do the talent contest and Sammy sez she will definately make sure you get home (tart). We are a bit young (thirtysometings) 2b dinosaurs (except 4 Linda she's really old) but we don't like the usual pubs with kids in (especially the ones in hoodies) either. XX
