We have been to Santa Ponsa for the last 3 holidays and The Square is one of the highlights of the holiday. Its brilliant for adults & kids alike, if they did not have entertainment there that end of town would go into decline because its The Square that attracts all the people up the hill.

I wouldn't like to imagine how many bars, cafes & restaurants would suffer if this happened. One of Santa Ponsa's boasts is that its a family resort - if you took away one of its main attractions it would lose a lot of tourist trade.

We would certainly think twice about returning if we knew there would be no evening entertainment.

I'll see what I can find out. Otherwise if any other members are off to SP soon maybe they could do some investigating.

I am off to Santa Ponsa next week!!!! so I will see if I can find out what's happening. Santa Ponsa wo'nt be the same without The Square. Update when I get back.

I'm not sure if thias is the reason, but the square in Santa Ponsa is not all it seems. The "franchise" to serve drinks to people in the main square seems to belong to one bar, whereas all the smaller bars around the perimeter can only serve the people immediately outside their bar.

We met a nice couple from Yorkshire who took over a bar and changed it to the Yorkie Bar, and even though the square would be full, they found it very difficult to make a living.

They were forever turning people away, who were drinking in the square, but wanted to come and used their toilets. They were very disillusioned.

As I say, I don't know whether this is connected, but maybe they are restructuring.

Thanks for your comments Adam. The first time we went to The Square was very confusing, we seemed to be sitting outside one bar but being served by waiters from another and we got turned away from one bar for trying to use their toilets.

It seems that the Spanish owned bars seem to have the monopoly in the square with the British owned bars being subjected to loads of restrictions as to what they can and cant do.

I do hope this is only a rumour as the Square wouldnt be the same without the live entertainment.

CBG - Have a great holiday - where are you staying in Santa Ponsa? It will be interesting to see if you can get any information about whats going on.
