Re the question about the roadworks from the Palm Beach, just got back from PDLA and saw them. They go from the Palm Beach, past Veronicas and end at the road junction near the Colon II apartments. You can walk along there although the pavement on the beach side, for part of the way, is blocked off but you can walk on the opposite side of the road. There was still quite a bit of work to do but it will probably be finished by March. It will certainly look really good when it's all finished. There are lots of concrete rectangles, presumably flower beds, on either side of the one-way road and when/if they are filled with flowers it should look stunning.

The road works start again from just past the Santa Maria apartments in Torviscas and go up the hill just past the big hotel, Torviscas Playa I think it was called,but they are nearly finished and don't cause any problems with walking or driving.

By the way, the market used to be opposite the Pueblo Torviscas apartments, where I stayed but it's certainly in a better place now - just behind the Hotel Fanabe. The only couple of times I've been to the market it was so squashed up and crowded you couldn't get near the stalls but there's now a lot more room and it didn't feel crowded at all.
