Los Boliches (absolutely dead)
Hi All,
I have just been speaking to a mate who has just returned from Los Boliches (near Fuengirola), and he has cancelled his next trip in May, as he says its so quiet in the bars that there is no one to socialize with. This coupled with my favourite bar with very experienced (in Spain) publicans are trying to get out, and I am hearing of the return of soo many more of the old guard of ex pats, whom you would have thought would die there rather than ever return to Uk.
Is it that bad now, is the crisis deepening to that level?
regards
Al
out soon to see for myself!

What do you really expect, after all it is January.
Take a trip to Clacton; Brighton, or Blackpool and you will see the same.
The restaurants I use there are still going well, a lot you have to book to get in.

Re: Los Boliches (absolutely dead)
I take your point JDR, But January til May and October to Christmas were always busy times in Los Boliches
Many old timers would rent for 3 to 6 months and I have spent many many times there at these times when it was busy.
There seems to be a sad decline, and sadly we are losing some good people and places !

Re: Los Boliches (absolutely dead)
I go to Los Boliches every other week, normally on a Sunday. And normally to one of the restaurants near the square. Always pretty busy and sometimes can't get a seat at the restaurants
This Sunday we were at the other end, at the castle in Fuengirola and it was heaving with people
I dont know what it is like at night, but in the daytime it seems as busy as ever
