This is a clean, well maintained spacious studio apartment in the popular Windsor Park complex close to the Aqua Park in Torviscas Alto.  There are two swimming pools on the complex, one of which is heated for use all year round.  The pools have sunbathing areas with sun beds.

There is an on-site laundry and shop, and the complex is only a 5 minute walk from main San Eugenio shopping area.

The apartment is in lovely condition, has a large terrace with roman style arches with fantastic views to the Ocean and over to the island of La Gomera.  There are also views to the mountains above Torviscas in the other direction.

This property has been priced for a quick sale at only 80,000 Euro so please contact us for more details and to arrange a viewing!

Last night they were out again, testing different sequences with the jets.  Then they packed up and went home again.  It was spotted and commented upon on The Tenerife Forum and on Janet Anscombe’s informative site too.  One or two people drove past today and were disappointed that it was not working…

Well, tonight they are at it again so thought we would put some photos up so that you could see what it is going to be like when, and I am not sure when, it is working properly!

Rob and the team at Dreamers really looked after us and the Buffet was superb.

We had Simply Mo and Celtic-Con-Fusion singing all night and a few guest singers also jumped onto the stage from time to time.

Thanks to all who were involved and everyone who came to join in, you all made a good night great!

For those people that live in or visit Arona in Tenerife they already know that Arona is ‘Magic’, but for the weekend of 11^th to 13^th June 2010 everyone will know because they can visit the 4^th annual Festival of Magic.

There will be some terrific entertainers performing at various venues throughout the area including Cabo Blanco, Las Galletas and Los Cristianos.  You will be able to watch some of the best magicians and jugglers around and we are sure you will have a great time.

Hope to see you there, don’t forget to take your camera and send us a couple of photos in so we can share them with the folks that are not able to get there themselves!

When I first saw the photo over Tenerife, I wasn’t sure if it was real or fake…

Since then I understand that these were taken by Soichi Noguchi (you can follow him on Twitter @Astro_Soichi if you want to see more of his photos) as the space shuttle Atlantis arrived safely at the International Space Station!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I have done:

There was a delivery of pallets last week and a hive of activity in the days following (well, OK a few men wandering around) as they started to unpack and install lots of shiny new pipes.

Wonder how long it will be before it is working now, we will keep you posted!

When we set plans in place to move here back in 2002, one of the many questions we were asked was, ‘are you not worried about living so close to that volcano?’ – we have had a few chuckles about that during the last week or so!

There have been a lot of people affected by this disruption, not only the people that have been stranded here, but the people that have been unable to return to the Island after a visit to the UK or elsewhere; businesses have had to take action to survive the reduction in numbers of people arriving on the island and the lack of money for the people that have been stuck here and of course the entertainers who have been cancelled as there was no one in the Bars!

I understand that whilst one or two have decided to close their doors (albeit temporarily) that others have reduced prices or added special offers to help those ‘unfortunate enough‘ to have had their visits extended, well done to those people.

There must have been a lot of funny stories that you have heard during the last few days, or stories that have made you think, ‘wow, I wouldn’t have expected that!‘  Why not let us know what you found interesting by leaving a comment here?  Maybe we can follow up on a couple of the stories to see how they ended up?

Good luck to those people that are now returning to their ‘normal’ lives, lets hope the delays are not too bad and the tempers do not get too frayed.

Well our plan was flawed, you see we also decided to call in and see John Sharples and Barry Pugh, better known to most of us as Bitter and Twisted in their bar, The Majestic before we made our way to the starting line.

As we often do when we visit Puerto de La Cruz, we drove around the streets a couple of times until we found what we were looking for, but we managed to find a parking space (after Lesley and Cathy asked the Parking Angel for help) and then walked down the steps into The Majestic.

Impressed is not the word, the place is amazing, with such a lovely atmosphere immediately apparent as you walk across to the bar, we felt really welcome from the moment we arrived.

The interior design is marvellous, with the specially commissioned paintings that we had read about adorning the walls and some fantastic effects for the stage area, that became apparent during a couple of the sketches.

Drinks were ordered and introductions made (Alan and Lesley had not met them before) and we found a free table (not an easy task, the place was heaving!).  It was then that we heard there would be two shows that night by Bitter and Twisted PLUS another act in between – what a dilemma!

Do we stay for a drink and then go on our way, do we go have a quick look at the High Heels Marathon and then come back or do we stay and enjoy the shows?  If we left, we may not have got back in, and even if we did it was doubtful that we would have had a seat.

We decided to stay, miss the race, and sit back to enjoy an evening at The Majestic – we believe that this was the right decision.  What a fantastic evening, our jaws were aching by the end of the evening with all of the laughing.  What a scream, we will definitely be back and highly recommend a visit for anyone that hasn’t already been.

You can find The Majestic at Calle Cologan No.12, Puerto de la Cruz, Spain I believe that the bar is open on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 8pm until late.

By the way, for those that may be unsure and think that The Majestic is a ‘Gay Bar’ …… WRONG!  The Majestic is a place for anyone who wants to be entertained … free of charge, with spectacular shows.  The drinks are not overpriced and there is no door entry fee.

Have you already been? Let us know what you liked best about your visit and why not send us a couple of photos that we can show?
