Welcome to the forum Brisbane. Our son and his wife came over to the UK from Oz last year for a holiday and we had a week with them in PP, our daughter in law was born in bred in Sydney but absolutely loved everything about PP.

Thanks Catalina.
I started my Spanish classes this week and I'm going to study right up to my departure from here in Oz. I know I'll get by without knowing or speaking the lingo but I've always wanted to be able to have a conversation with a local in their own tongue and I have tried to make an effort in the past. I'll be doing more things than your average holidaymaker too, so that's even more of an excuse to go for it (I'm trying to justify my career break, which has already begun!!). I intend to spend a couple of weeks in the Canaries during January next year too, where I'll meet up with my parents, so I'll be passing through the mainland as well...
Steve.

Hi, It's HikerBiker from New York, saying hi to all and looking forward to re-aquainting with old friends on this forum. I was supposed to return to PP back in 2008 but was diagnosed with cancer, had surgery and was forced to curtail travel for a while. I've since recovered, my prognosis is good and we're hoping to return to PP in September 2012-- for a week sandwiched between three days in Madrid and three days in Barcelona.
Wishing all a great 2012,
Hiker

Yeah, welcome back HikerBiker. I arrive during September too, from Australia, but staying for a bit longer - 7 months.
Looks like PP gets visitors from far and wide eh!
