Campo Público Golf Sant Joan
Apr 20, 2009 by Pat from Cork
Overall Rating: 7

• Liked playing it - the second time!
• Very tight for high handicappers.

“It is built into a hillside and wooded area with excellent views from some tees. The course is very tight in places and there are a number of blind tee shots. Some holes are fantastic and all are different. Any thing straying too far from the fairway is lost in the woods or down a slope. Luckily most of these are designated as lateral hazards but do expect to lose a few balls - particularly high handicappers. The greens were in good condition and there is a buggy path all around the course which is very handy. My friends and I played the course twice and this was a distinct advantage. The clubhouse provided good facilities and food and the course was not busy at all - we played Thursday and Friday in April.”

Carmen de los Martires

• I loved everything.
• I wish they would take a little better care of it.

“I spent a semester studying in Granada, Spain and Carmen De Los Martires was my favorite place to relax. I brought my best friends up to the top of the park for a final sunset in Granada, over the Alhambra. It's gorgeous.”

Legazpi

• Parque Galvan.
• Lackluster nightlife.

“I stayed here with a family during a school 'summer study abroad' program. All in all, this is a great place and a decent location in Madrid. There are easily - accessed metros throughout the area, the main one being the Legazpi access on the Yellow Line, which is only a few stops from Plaza del Sol and other desirable destinations within Madrid. Perhaps the best feature of the area is the fact that it is in close proximity to an amazing park, Parque Enrique Tierno Galvan. This park features a stunning Amphi theater, a plethora of great walking paths, a bridge that features great views of the area (and climbing to boot!), a man made river, elegant fountains, superb playgrounds, and is clean to boot! I feel that this park is a great alternative to the hustle and bustle of Retiro for all those trying to avoid a crowd. Although the allure of Retiro is hardly something to scoff at. As far as city features go, Legazpi doesn't disappoint here either. A bakery, supermarket, ice cream parlor, banks (including ATMs), internet cafes, and a few bars (one of which is even an official Irish pub - called The Red Corner if memory serves correctly) are all within short walking distance of each other. All of the people I encountered in the area were extremely friendly to boot. Disadvantages are few, but noteworthy. Although I stayed with a family when I was there, I did not notice many (if any) hotel accommodations nearby; check the area just to be sure. Also, if the rich Madrid nightlife is something you are looking for, Legazpi is probably not the place for you. There are only about 2 or 3 bars here, all of which seemed to attract an older crowd and closed early. Also, it is somewhat distanced from the center of Madrid, which is undoubtedly where most of the fun is to be had. A few easy Metro stops fixes this problem, but if you are needing to get back to Legazpi after the Metro shuts down for the evening, it will be a long walk or a pricey taxi ride. Overall, though, if you are looking for a stay in the quieter side of Madrid that still maintains the life of the city overall, this area is the place for you.”

Puerto Deportivo El Abra-Getxo
Nov 18, 2008 by Paul from Southampton, UK
Overall Rating: 8

• Bars, restaurants, beach, shops, nearby towns and aquarium.
• The weather in November 2009!

“We cruised our sailing boat round France, across Biscay and into Getxo in early October 2008 and have left our yacht there for the winter. The marina staff speak very little English and if you don't at least try to speak Spanish (or Basque) they will not appear to be very helpful. However if you do try they make a great effort and we were able to discuss the alternatives in Spanglish and agree a package for the winter. As a marina Getxo is first class, with clean facilities and ample hot water, free washing machine and tumble dryer (the latter was broken in Oct/Nov 2008), free water and electricity on the pontoons and good security by way of locked access gates and perimeter gates. The staff patrol day and night to enhance security further. As a destination Getxo is great too. The waterside has a 2,000 seat cinema complex, numerous restaurants and bars, a fast-food court, shops, free WiFi in a number of the bars, marine businesses, nautical clothing outlets, an aquarium etc. It is next to the beach and has level walks to Las Arenas for an even greater selection of shops, bars and restaurants plus the impressive Biscaia Bridge. It is a short 10 minute walk to the nearest Metro station for the underground service to Bilbao itself, some 10 km away. We rate Getxo highly and are looking forward to returning there in May 2009.”
