Highland Games

Do the Highland games still take place at the Coral Bar each year and if so any idea of this years dates?

 

[filipeIII]

Sorry, first time in the forum, and I'm on the scrounge!
People who have been patronising the Coral Bar for over 20 years, MUST have some photographs of the bar and the old Bahia annexe.
Would you sift through your old dusty photos and let me know

Hi Chris,I've been to the Coral lots of times as well.Which one
is Anna?Is she the one with the small slender figure,short brown hair and glasses?Or is that Mama?I'm just dying to find
out.

 

[robjay]

May I extend a big warm forum welcome to both of you. I can't help you with any of the things you ask for but i know for sure someone will be able to help.
Take care

Welcome somebody 17!!

As Chris hasn't responded thought I would ! Rob's right it's a mine of information on this forum

Yes Ana is the dark haired lady with glasses and Mama is the old (er) lady and is believe it or not her Mum!! The only resaon I know this is not from eating at the Coral Bar but because we rented the family's apartment on Pine Walk for 3 years running. Mama is certainly the matriarch of the family(the fact everyone including us calls her Mama amuses us) and you wouldn't want to upset her!! My daughter was singing merrily away one evening (about 10.30pm) and Mama hot footed up the stairs to tell her to be quiet as she was sleeping on the porch downstairs..whoops :\ ! She also used to leave a washing up bowl outside the door which we all obediently washed our sandy feet in before going indoors. Every morning we would say Buenos dias and every evening Buenos noches but we only ever got a slight nod in return..it took three years before I got a smile! Bless her

I seem to remember a thread on someones singing. It wasn't your daughter but for the life of me I just can't remember who it was. can you remember who it was?:lol
Take care

Re Bar Coral

Hi Rob

I remember who was singing and know exactly where my daughter gets it from !! In fact I'm fairly certain mama was coming up the stairs because there was more than one person singing after a goodnight in Pollensa !!

The late Johnny haynes was a frequent visitor to laroc and Coral. He seemed to love it a lot.What a terrible year losing Johnny, Bestie and my all time hero Ossie. Off to the bridge tomorrow to may my last respects.

Re: Re Bar Coral

Cat indeed!! Don't mock till you've heard our dulcet tones

 

[funnyclownhahahaha]

Question

Just out of interest,is Ana Spanish or Italian?Because I always seemed to think she was Italian.

 

[SENOR CIGAR]

I think Mallorcian would be nearer the mark.

[Siobhan]

Aina is indeed Mallorcan and Mama is her mother-in-law (Jorge and Pedro's mother).

Sorry to disagree, but tried the mixed tapas here on website recommendation, and found it *very* disappointing, and not at all authentic. If you want great tapas, head for Capdepera (on the road to Arta, where the wonderful caves are, SE of the island), and have tapas at the cafe in the village square. Sublime!

going to try this when next out at end of august.thanks.

 

[Sparky]

LJH you might need to check that this cafe in Capdepera is still there as the post you are replying to is from 2002 .

Bar Coral is our favourite place to sit, drink, relax in Puerto Pollensa. My boys in particular love it and it is the first place we visit when we arrive in PP - before we even unpack! The reviews seem pretty old on the forum so I just wanted to say it is still great - the home made chips are fab and the welcome is even better! Aina is a gem!

 

[Hoggers]

We have been eating there for 15 years or more absolutely the best welcome in PP and good home cooked food. Jordi,Aina and Pedro are the best hosts even when very busy. love it!!! Wife and daughter out there at the moment and joining them tomorrow for three weeks,first food stop ; The good old Coral
