Sparky - is that Max who used to have Club Tropicana? If so, then the music should be good.

Tropicana ..another blast from the past from about 18 years ago!! We used to love to go to there for an afternoon when the children were younger, and as you say GG the music was great ...as were the surroundings, pool and food. It was one of those places so off the beaten track that it never really became popular with holiday makers ,as they wouldn't have known it was there. We only found out about it through a friend who worked in the Port at the time.

Only prob was the drinks weren't free


It'll be good to catch up with Max again and to see The Moustrap after a facelift..it sure needed it

When you all refer to "good/great music", that's a bit subjective. What kind of music are we talking about please?

Cheers.

Nick, only this afternoon just before i saw Max i was told by an expat who has lived here for many years that he has a huge music collection, his exact words were "if you name it he will play it".

Tropicana? I remember that place, bit out of the way, tho'. Think the guy had been a DJ on Dutch radio, hence the huge "record collection".

Still can't beat a big physical collection of music, feel as if you own something, something to be nutured, be proud of. Downloading music is very convenient, but it's not the same

More on yesterdays story, one thing to consider is that if you are thinking of leaving it late to book up, like me! we might find bargains are hard to find if there is an increase of people, maybe worth booking up accommodation etc sooner rather than later!!

Balearics is Spain’s top low cost destination
London.—Last month, the number of low cost airline passengers handled by the Balearics’ three airports rose by 36.8 percent, making the region the country’s most popular low cost destination and further supporting figures released on Saturday that there has been a significant turn around in tourism since the start of the year.
April
With Easter falling last month and the United Kingdom enjoying a bonus two-week holiday, it was the April surge in air passengers which has pushed up the tourism figures for the first four months of the year. According to data released yesterday by the Ministry for Tourism, Commerce and Industry in Madrid, the number of low cost passengers using Palma airport during the first four months of the year rose by 6.4 percent to reach 1'011'399.

But, it is not only the low cost airlines which have been enjoying healthy growth in passenger figures. According to the Ministry’s report, Palma’s Son San Joan airport also experienced a 43.3 percent increase in passengers using scheduled airlines last month. Nationally, the country’s airports handled 9.15 million low cost passengers during the first four months of the year, 22 percent more than during the same period last year.

The figures add further evidence that the Balearics and Spain are very much back in fashion again this year and that more flights should be operating during the winter.
