the only oasis apartments i know are next door to the montana apartments.

its a fair way down the main strip, and then up a side road and then parallel with the sea front. i wonder if they walked to the harbour round the back streets ?

its a right mess along the front.We came back home on christmas eve.Holes everywhere,metalspikes sticking up out the pavement and road,dust everywhere,some bars and restaurants,shops closed down and it looks awfull.The price of food in supermarkets is outrageous.£3.25p for a jar of salad cream.Take my advice and stay well clear of pdc untill roadworks have been completed.

janbabe - carnaval in Arrecife will be 23rd Feb, so it should be in Puerto del Carmen the following Saturday, 28th Feb. Carnaval is always the day before Shrove Tuesday! The owners of the Spanish Inn have been told that the works will be finished by 10th Feb???

kazolly - the roadworks are a lot further along than they were at xmas, but are still a mess!!! You can now drive from General Prim left along the strip, which is a bonus!!! And I have to say that if you want to buy salad cream here you will obviously be charged an arm and a leg!!!!

shirley, I am so sorry your parents missed the beaches :(

Hello Sue, How far past Cantro Atlantico are they ?, and did they start at the old town end or Matagorda end ?

Thanks

Hi Danny, I do believe they started at both ends :que The roads were shut from the casino all the way down to the Fariones. As of now the road is open from General Prim left past Centro Atlantico going towards Matagorda end. You can't get up c/Anzuelo or Pedro Barba but can go up the one way road that goes to Mucky Duck. At the bottom of General Prim, you still cannot turn right and go along to Fariones.

HTH :)

Thanks Sue,

I was hoping they would be a little further done by now, all being well, we fly out a week tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing it all, have heard it looks quite nice

Bess, I believe they will certainly be finished for end of feb in time for the carnival, (it was taking a too long, but I hear now that a penalty clause has kicked in and the place is flooded with workers to finish as soon as possible)
Danny :cheers

:wave: All change again this morning!!!! From Matagorda end of PdC, you can't get any further that the Spar supermarket just past San Antonio. You also can't go up the Mucky Duck road now, and I am wondering if you really could when I went up it the other night :que :rofl

Hi Sue, thanks for the news about when the carnival is in PDC. So is it just the Sat night it will be in PDC? We fly home on the sunday 1st so will be nice to finish off with the carnival in town. Never been here when one was on before, so should be good! :)

The actual Carnaval procession is the Saturday night, though I have just been to PdC and saw the posters up saying three dates. Can't remember exactly what the other two were :duh I will try and remember to look next time, and post on here in case others are over here at the same time :)

got back last night after 10 nights. The roadworks are virtually completed. Just some very minor finishing off, it looks very nice. Only a day or twos work left but all the barriers and orange tape have gone now.
They did an amazing amount whilst we were there, it was only a 250 metre strtch of the mile long prom so it didnt worry us. The stage is up on the prom, built with a castle on it and knights on horses for the carnival

enjoy.
