Not wine, but gin. It's still fine....

I don't think Lidl sell Fevertree or at least they didn't last time I looked. I think Mopezone meant you can buy any old cheap gin eg Lidl and you won't notice the difference if you use a good tonic such as Fevertree.

What a shame, Fevertree is in the port and town but 6.85 and 6.40 for 4 small bottles. Back to the local blue tonics. :)
 
Didn't see Fever Tree whilst we were over in PP however Nordic Mist is very nice too and is so.d in most supermarkets.
 
Flew back last weekend, delighted to find Xoriguer at the airport for €13 in the duty free section just after security area, last year the only place that had it was the deli place at €29.
4 bottles might see us through a few weeks��
 
Sitting in Una gin bar most nights we have trialled a number of splendid gins with lovely accompanying flavours.

Una has been a welcome stylish bar in PdP. Shame that it's in that grotty alley.

I think you mean Bar Ona, part of Hotel Mar Calma. Also while i know C/ Economo Torres is not to everyone's taste, calling it a "grotty alley" is a bit harsh.

Bar Ona is great and just really used it this year. The lady who was in there in September was so friendly and the selection of drinks was great. It is definitely a place we'll go into again next year. Thanks for highlighting to others on the forum 😀 It's a busy alley and good when you're out on a bit of a pub crawl night because you can pop quickly into one place after another !!! Should I still be doing this??? When in PP why not 😃

You might be right but calling it 'The Street of Ecclesiastical Towers' seems very generous!

I do like a bit of grot occassionaly.

I don't know where you get "Ecclesiastical Towers" from, my translator says it's "Economy Towers".

That sounds more like it sparky ;) I'm not sure why but we always call it Gasoline Alley!

I have to be in the mood and mostly avoid it but sometimes it has to be done :D
 
Ecónomo Torres was the first priest in Pollensa to be in charge of the church’s accounts.

In regards to it being a “grotty alley”, I think I have bumped into more “undesirables” ( bankers, Russian mafioso, Middle Eastern despots ) in Burlington Arcade in one day than a month of Sunday’s in Fray Torres’s street.

And I am not including in the above list Nostalgia’s clientele, one of whom I sometimes include myself on a Saturday night, but only if my wife insists !
 
Unless I've made a grave mistake, it's 'Carrer Ecònom Torres'.

Apologies I stand corrected. I've just googled the street name and it does have an accent. It's will now be forever known as Ecclesiastical Towers not Gasoline Alley :D

We're out again in August and want to bring Xoriguer back home again, would really appreciate it if any traveling home could look out and see if it's at the airport duty free agian this year and price if possible. Many thanks in advance.
