Are there "public" grills spread around town or are they all privately run ?

There are always lots of grills that anyone can use .

The Hustlers are playing at Nostalgia again on the night of the fires

I know long range forecasts are not very accurate but it's looking like it will be very cold and windy with snow showers possible at fairly low levels on the 16th, may i suggest you bring plenty of warm clothing if you are planning to be here .

Thanks for the heads up Sparky, we are bringing hold luggage this time so packing for every eventuality, including shorts in case I fancy a swim!! Rain coats and jumpers packed just in case. Snow will be interesting though!!

Thanks for the heads up Sparky we will bring our thermals!! Not quite what we were planning on for our first visit to Sant Antoni, but hopefully we will get a little bit of sun to keep us warm as well as the fires

Layers is what you need, in previous years we have sat in the sun in cafe 1919 in tee shirts, but out of the sun it is cold. Hopefully we will still get some sun, that's if we can get over, they are forecasting arctic conditions here for the end of the week, hoping it doesn't get down this far and affect the airports!

Fingers crossed - due out of Gatwick early Saturday with freezing temperatures forecast......
