Arranged around a central courtyard lit with twinkling lights, the (public) bar sells local beers, decent food and its own compilation CDs, as well as running DVD nights from the owner's great selection, for a small donation.

Check the noticeboard for good value Spanish lessons by local teachers (Anjelica is recommended) and trips to the nearby Lago de Apoyo, where the Bearded Monkey has a cabin, the Monkey Hut, with terraces running down to the lake - an excellent swimming spot.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13569 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8663 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8663 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8493 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8493 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8465 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8465 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8437 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8437 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8434 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8434 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8431 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8431 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8428 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8428 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8425 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8425 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8424 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8424 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8422 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8422 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8421 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8421 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7250 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7250 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3235 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3235 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2372
If you are staying longer, you might also want to explore the possibility of taking an apartment - there are many options for apartments to rent in the Old Town, the Mariscal and Guapulo Village.

Of course you can have a great time whilst staying in the city - there are a good selection of theatres, clubs, bars and restaurants to visit, and a nightime walk around the old town is a must, and on Sundays there is a very good sale of artwork at Parc El Ejido.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2372 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1570 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1570 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1102
This excitement is partly due to the live trumpet player at weekends, who, to disguise the DJ's average mixing skills, blasts out the south of France fanfare heard at rugby games and all over the region. This works the crowd into a frenzy, tempered only when the trumpeter slows things down for the Spanish national anthem. Then another fanfare, and the crowd go wild again. It's like this every weekend.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1102
