Hi Claire,
We're stopping in Negresco Princess in Cap Salou, just outside. I've never been before but can't wait. I've heard great things about it. Just been talking to someone else on here about it and they have spoken to a girl who has just been and there seems to be plenty to do. Have you been before? Where are you stopping?

I came back on Sunday, and the Fox and Hounds is a brilliant pub with no loud music and plenty of tvs for footie fans, and the food is fabby and drinks are reasonable with very friendly effecient staff.

try one of the bars (british better) on Carrer Carlos Buigas (close to Calypso)

Turn right out of hotel along the road to you see shops, and turn right down that street

OR

Turn left out of hotel (along Carrer de Pompeu Fabra) until you see a wooden roof thing street with shops on the left (Past Golden port and golden avenida and Sol piramide) called Carrer de Zaragoza! when you get to end turn left to all shops - you will see a few bars that will show the footy!

Hi everyone,

Lucas9 is right about the pubs. Any where on the main strip offers plenty of tvs and a great atmosphere. We're staying in the hotel to watch tonights game (there's a huge screen that covers a full wall in the bar :D ) then we're gonna go and soak up the winning atmosphere :wink: on the strip. Can't wait!!!!

Come on England!!!!!!!

Just back from Salou and nearly every pub has the world cup on - you can even stand outside and watch it - and for those that dont want to watch football there are some British pubs with Big Brother on every night :D

Phew! I was hoping the pubs would be showing Big Brother as well, thats made my night! :D

HI... thought that being out there one of you could give us the latest on the pub rules and how they are affecting families . There were changes regarding smoking in the pubs ect... Pubs it seems could opt to be smoking pubs but it meant that children werent allowed in...Any one got info on which way the pubs have chosen to go SMOKING OR FAMILIES..
Any chance of posting the pubs and which way they went.
Reply
Any pub we went into had people smoking and there were children allowed in as well. We mainly went to pubs near our hotel - Salou Princess so that was the karaoke bar across the road and the Grapevine (British Pub) we did go to other pubs on the way to the beach for lunch and people were smoking in there also. Think the only place you couldnt smoke was McDonalds
