[...] First up was Juan Carlos from Al-rruz to persuade us to join them at the new Coco Beach (see below) at 11pm. That was actually a pretty easy one as we have spent previous San Juan’s with them and some Spanish friends and have had a great time. We had also wanted to go and see what it was like ready for Sand’s niece’s visit next week, and to support Shannon who we have know for a while now and who was a great help as a Marshal during the Treasure Hunt.

Not so sure about that, but then again I did drink the whole cup in one, apart from some ice cubes!!

Thanks, and you are welcome – I think it was great that we had the kids involved as well.

That is a good idea/point regards the Ajuntamiento – I think Sands has it on her list of things to try and get done!!!

Apologise for late congrats on such a well organised and successful event.
We all had a great time including the kids who took it upon themselves to solve the ‘entrance’ clues to the bars and then helped us answer some of those more tricky questions!
Well done to all for the money raised.
What now is the Ajuntamiento willing to do to contribute in tackling the problem of the strays? Surely the sum of money raised would demonstrate to the ‘powers that be’ the strength of feeling amongst some of the local population. Perhaps a joint project could be undertaken?
Looking forward to the next event!

In fact this morning we had four people in for a full breakfast who had come down to collect their free breakfast for two from the Milenio that they won in the raffle. The Milenio was closed so they thought they would give us a try ……

That seems like just about the perfect scenario – another cafe puts up the prize and you get the business! Wish I could take credit for that one

With all this talk of treasure hunts, I’ve remembered a rather fiendish clue for a treasure hunt I co-organised about (good grief!) 20 years ago. This was a Sunday afternoon family event – none of your visit-five-bars stuff then. (Mind you, it was also a car treasure hunt, so alcohol would have been inappropriate.) This particular one went from the south side of Glasgow, down the coast to just outside the town of Ayr. Given the various clues we had them solve, this was probably a journey of somewhere between 40 to 50 miles.

The clue which gave us an enormous amount of satisfaction – and probably caused the most arguments within the various teams – was where we had them visit a (former) mansion house in what was by then a public park and asked them to count all the chimney pots! This required people to park their cars, get out and walk around the house and – hopefully – have each member of the team come to the same total… This view (not mine) of part of the house house will give you some idea of the deviousness of the challenge…

Have to say that as one of the bars that participated we thought it was well organised, great fun, and the first real sense of community that we have seen in Almerimar since we opened the bar.

Thanks for organising it and introducing so many new customers to the bar – many of whom have been back already.

In fact this morning we had four people in for a full breakfast who had come down to collect their free breakfast for two from the Milenio that they won in the raffle. The Milenio was closed so they thought they would give us a try ……

Looks like everyone had a great time. Brilliant idea for a community event too helping everyone to get to know one another. Raising money for charity doesn’t hurt either.
