I am a male brit and have been here for a few years. The bars are what you make of them and I know from spending endless saturdays in them!!! There are a wide varity from drunk sleace to a quiet Pimms on the balconey! For westerners there is a large 'villa party scene' where we socialise, keeps the riff raff out! If you need contacts when you get here let me know! Dont listen to a lot of these people as I dont believe any are TRUE Brits.... and lets not forget the tax free income!!!
