Youri McAnespie Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 First went there in 1995 aged 18... Loads changed since but if you shop around you can still get a litre of Vodka for around a fiver - twenty five years on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Arehucas do some nice rums, but always thought the Oro was the runt of the litter. If I drink spirits, rum is my go to drink. I've got some nice Brugal Extra Viejo and Ron Zacapa here.

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted May 26, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2020 Only been once, to Gran Canaria 20 years ago. Hotel was full of old Germans who were rude as fuck. Didn't matter as we were out a lot but the place just seemed moody to me, in one week there one gay bloke at our hotel got the shit kicked out of him and another girl just about escaped a likely rape by a gang of lads, a taxi driver of all people helped her. Considering there were only a handful of Brits in the hotel it was a bit worrying. Plus there were fucking cockroaches everywhere, hate them little fuckers.

Nah, the Oro Arehucas is the Ron Miel - honeyied rum, slightly weaker than the white or dark but smooth as a kitten's chin. Everyone drinks Arehucas on the island - prince to pauper. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I like a honey rum from time to time as a change. Drank loads of that Honeybee stuff in Goa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you're right - the Oro is the new piss. All goes down same hole... The honey stuff is dearer and not as abundant in bars. Anyway I like the Indio - that is pretty much trampjuice.

I wouldn't go to some resorts in the south for free, now or then... It's the northern Europeans, including Brits and latterly mainland Spaniards, slavs and Russians make them package hellholes. Las Palmas is ace - a big city with a clean three mile beach and loads of nice places about a €3 bus trip away. We had a 'shithole holiday' thread on here a while ago - people writing off entire countries - shortsighted imo. Shitholes are cheek by jowl with nice places everywhere.

Traf Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 We stayed at Anfi, last time we went to GC, it wasn't bad, far less scroaty than Puerto Rico. As for the North, I quite liked Las Canteras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for pubs, I'm not remotely interested in going anywhere near one for the first fortnight they're open. It'll be a like a 2-week long New year's Eve, with wankers clogging the place and all the pent-up testosterone on display : brawls everywhere. racing to go at from monday is good news for you eh mate?

Once went wild camping in Wales by the side of a lake called Cwm Bechan, basically up a mountain from Llanbedr between Barmouth and Harlech. We'd taken all provisions, tents and a canoe to ferry it all to the opposite side of the lake. We'd been there about three or four days when we saw a policeman looking at the car so three of us paddled across to ask what he wanted. (It was an open decked canoe) It seemed a young lad in his twenties had murdered his mother with an axe and they'd had reports that he may be in hiding in the mountains. He asked if we'd had any food or cooking equipment and knives stolen, which we hadn't. Surprising how stuff like that concentrates the mind and encourages you to walk around with a fucking big stick in your hand at all times.
