First time

[jane b]

Its our first time to Gran Canaria, we will be staying in Patalavaca, we go on 1st July :grin: cant wait, but i cant seem to find much on the area, but i will try looking bit harder

[shirley]

Well patalavaca is just past arguinegan on the way to puerto rico,
so you can go either way for your entertainment or walk down to the beach and straight on along it until you come to the anfi timeshare complex The beach there and its bars are public and quite well worth walking to. A pleasant surprise. You can walk from patalavaca into arguinegan plenty to do there, or take the bus or a short taxi ride into puerto rico, The choice is yours.

Nice little pizza place in Patalavaca and a few other bars etc. Walk down to the beach = nice restaurant there = Witches is a Brit restaurant

I stayed in Patalavaca a couple of years ago at the GReen Beach , to be honest it is very dead with a few bars and the pizza place i presume Mary mentions (sorry Mary we found it disgusting) , there is a Spar which was well stocked and teh Jukebox BUT nothing else bar very small quiet spanish bars

as for Anfi , i wouldnt reccomend it its very expensive and you will get pestered by the anfi workers , we did

to say how expensive it is my mate said on teh first night he would buy the drinks for getting him teh holiday at standby staff rates for the company i worked at , HE SPENT MORE IN THAT ONE NIGHT THAN HIS HOLIDAY COST

geta taxi to PR €3 each way at the time , , there is a rank in teh centre of the village buy the roundabout

hope this helps

Jukebox has a bad reputation at the mo' - steer clear

That doesnt suprise me when we went in it was during the day to watch teh tennis , BUT there is a timeshare sales deck up the hill rom there and the reps came in , slimy ****ers they were and looked , never went in at night as wasnt worth staying there

had one night in one of the small bars opposite the taxi rank and near the roundabout had a great time and the owner spoke perfect english

The bar next to the farmacia is Brit owned. never been but he seems nice

Yes i was once in the green beach, well wat can i say about there?
apartments clean. Very Basic very heavy solid wood german style furniture But as hot in them as sitting on the motorway in gc in a traffic jam(no Toldos) I DIDNT SAY GO IN ANFI i said the public beach and bars there were very nice a surprise its a nice walk to there ,with ( at the time i was there )a, nice bar halfway there also to sit at Although its at the back of a hotel and open to the public the prices andfood were good and it was lovely and quiet there at night by the sea. The shopping complex well i didnt like the look of much so i didnt even go there.
It depends on your age wether youll like it there or not But if you are staying at the green beach do try and obtain some fans one for each room or you will swelter . For me it was just a cheap week quicky visit whilst i signed for my house, I didnt care where i stayed at that time just to get the job done.But to be honest i couldnt ever allow myself to swelter like that again in Green Beach apartments.If you are young get the bus to PR:

I didnt mean anfi itself the bar i was talking about was the very first one which had a bavarian theme , and was public , the bands , Blues Brothers when i was there appeared right next door to there

PS the pirata cueva restaurant in patalavaca on the main road I DID LOVE FOOD,ATMOSPHERE EVERYTHING It is a genuine IT IS A( MUST GO THERE AND SEE)
Would definately go there again if ever i was round there at night.
