I think that Mol Vel (not sure of spelling) is where La Llonja is & Mol Nou (New Quay) is where Stay is.

I think I am right in saying that the Imperial Bar is on the corner of El Cano and Avinguda Paris is the second street after the bridge, near Tolo's.

The timing of this could not have been worse, recession is biting and the port is quiet compared to this time last year.

keeping people away means less money spent in my experience.

If we cant park easily and have to drive round the new road we will go to Pollenca town or Alcudia old town for a night out and to buy food during the daytime.
We will still go for a walk along Pine walk, just not as often and wont spend as much money in the Port as we usually do.

We are here now for our September holiday and there is definitely a noticeable drop in the amount of tourists around compared to September 2007. Its a shame really.

Mark.

Hi,
PP76 is right. If you look at Google maps the area described is where the sandy beach starts (near the road up to Stay restaurant on the quay) across the river area near Tolo's and up to the next road (Av de Paris) which has the 2 huge fine villas on each corner. There is also a telephone box on this corner.
I think it sounds like a good pilot scheme and should stop most of the really noisy trucks and traffic....but you never know the side effects until it happens. We're going out next Friday 26th (my birthday) so I'll take some phots and post them so you can judge for yourselves.

Hope you have a wonderful Birthday next week, we are also going out on the 26th, it will be interesting to see the changes.

Hi all - I am afraid that, in my opinion, the last thing the port needs is more pedestrianisation. The danger is that the place we all love, which is an old traditional fishing port with all the character of it's buildings (many of which are being torn down and replaced with modern blocks) and layout. Bing able to drive into the port and enjoy the views all the awy in. Being able to easily access all of the small businesses just behind the front. The impact that this will have on the streets just behind the front when all the traffic attempt tpo get as close the the seafront as possible will be devastating traffic wise - and then what will happen? Multi storey car parks behind the ring road no doubt.

Right - i've had my grummble...pull another cork dear!!

Mmm, its difficult enough to get parked at the best of times especially when you have a particular restaurant in mind and try to park close to it. Especially as we always drive down from Llenaire.
Now, will I have to take walking shoes to start with, and change into my "proper" shoes if I have such a long way to walk?! Will it be worthwhile (rhetorical question really!) or will I revert back to Porta Alcudia for a parking space (unlikely!).
We shall see in a few weeks.

Well said Gommer Goffer - I agree!

I still can't understand why if something is successfull and works - there is a whole group of people who decide to 'improve' things! Just leave it alone...

Default Road Signs

Stayed a couple of weeks ago in apartments near Villa Concha and there were many new road signs, some of which had black bin bags over them, which were obviously the start of a one way system. As I have said on this forum before I get confused at the best of times when driving 'on the wrong side' so I for one, and I think like others, would be put off if it gets too complicated. I realise that there is plenty of parking off the main stretch and a shortwalk across the road but many people will not want to walk anywhere when it is hot, it is so good to park next to the beach for the port.
