And we have a 'sea view' from the balcony - OK I had to use the telephoto.

Our first 'port of call' was the Gold Dollar..........
The manager recognised us from last February.
The 2 pints for 3€ had gone up to €3.5 - that's inflation for you.
Cleo had a Tequila Sunrise and I had two pints of Amstel on the offer.
Our old friend is still here..................

We arrive at the Surprise Attack.
I love this place.
They still have the 2 pints for 3€ - so I had four pints of Estrella Damm and Cleo had two Gin & Tonics.
We also ate lunch there, Bacon and Cheese baguettes, delicious, with proper bacon too......

Saw these chaps standing outside a pub on the Ave. Meditteraneo
They look as though they haven't been drinking, otherwise Wing Commander Antonius would have put them on a charge.

After Cleo had a little shopping spree in a shoe shop, we manage to make it to our first watering hole.
The Royal Arrow
They used to have the two pints for €3, but that gone up to €3.5, still not that bad.
I had 4 pints of San Miguel, Cleo was being sensible and just had the one G&T.

Cleo and I ate some lunch here again - those delicious Cheese and Bacon baguettes.
I had four pints of Estrella Damm, Cleo had two G&T's.

I noticed this prop had been mounted on the wall.
It appears to be an old WWI prop which has metal leading edges to protect the propeller from their own bullets, as they fired through the propeller arc.
This early method of deflecting shots was a necessary stop-gap measure before the invention and widespread adoption of the synchronized gear, a device that allowed machine guns to fire only when the propeller blades were out of the way.
This method was a temporary fix and had drawbacks, such as the extra strain on the engine shaft and increased propeller weight, which negatively affected performance.

We went to 'Uncle Ron's' for some lunch and have a €1 pint which was Estrella Levante.
It was very busy and really loud, which affected the quality and speed of service.
So, after a drink and lunch, we moved onto the 'Flash Hotel', just in time for happy hour.
I had a couple of pints of Amstel, happy hour price €1.40 per pint.
Cleo had a couple of Pina Colada's.

Cleo loved the Parrots in the straws, so they came home with us.
