I remember as a lad when I first went drinking in the pubs at 15/16, I got there at the normal time but on a Sunday, to find the pub all locked up. My mate rocks up and tells me it's Sunday trading but she'll unbolt the doors in a couple of minutes - I'm like Sunday trading, what is this shhite.
Catholic country that hasn’t pandered to the moors <laugh><laugh><laugh>

God bless El CID

Pubs in the market area got longer hours on a Thursday which was the main market day.

I love it when they all fook off for a couple hours around lunctime ish or just after, and just leave you there with your beer lol. Probably not in big built up areas mind.
 
Walked what felt like entire length of Tarragona from bus station to a Roman ruin that looked in better condition than old Trafford. Nice place but everything closed other than a couple of bars and a few restaurants. Strange because it seems much much bigger than Salou but everything open there. Must be something to do with it being less touristy

Well yeah Salou is full of English scum who demand a full roast when it’s 35 degrees on a Sunday.

Admittedly not been for about 25 years but that’s how I remember it. Copy of yesterday’s newspaper for the equivalent of about £2 by the pool. Chucked into the kids club all day. Great times.

it’s mainly Irish this year. Loads of them here.
 
There's a Dutch set up next door, taking up two pitches with what looks like grandparents etc.

They have; a full size gas barbecue, a charcoal barbecue, a slow cooker, a fridge freezer, a fridge, an air fryer, a two gas ring stove, a water cooler, two air con units, a full size fan and a microwave.

Plus whatever they have in their actual caravan.

The could feed and water the whole village.

And a Nespresso.
 
20 hrs, drive, ferry, drive, had a nap this after, after a few beers. Showered and refreshed now, a few more beers and I'll be out like a log.

Where abouts mate?

Are their visa requirements as strict as US.

You have to do a similar ESTA thing like the US. I did it online when I went to Canada. It’s not expensive or that difficult to get approval.

when I re did my ESTA for the US this year they asked me if I was intending to carry out any terrorism or espionage lol
