Still Not a Holiday!


We flew with Islas Airways - getting a good discount with the piece of paper from the Town Hall (see Dec.!) It is a 30 minute flight in a 50 seater prop! Interesting views of both islands, a packet of peanuts and a glass of water, blatant abuse of hand-luggage regulations and a lot of Spanish crossing themselves.
Then a neat cheap hourly bus straight from the airport to Maspalomas, and a minor error about where to get off leading to the second-grumpiest taxi driver on the island sorting us out.
We stayed here at El Palmeral Bungalows- found on http://www.thomsonfly.co.uk
It is one of a series of similar complexes built round the Faro 2 commercial centre.
'Showing its age a bit, with good-enough communal services, scrupulously cleaned, pleasant staff and a good choice! We met quite a few similarly ancient couples who agreed!
