Don't underestimate Ingle

Advantages: brave , gusty fighter
Disadvantages: none

...Full credit must go to Paul Ingle the brave and gutsy world champion from the East Coast seaside resort of Scarborough. I don't feel he has had the full recognition that he deserves for winning his title and then defending it in America . How many British fighters can you think of that have done that ? Also remember he put up a great performance against the unbeaten Naz Hamed coming as close as anyone has to beating the Sheffield fighter. He comes from a town not well known for producing boxers and I feel he is the genuine article . Let's hope he is remembered as a good British world champion when he retires....

El Corte Ingles Store Restaurant, Malaga

Advantages: Very convenient when shopping
Disadvantages: Not exactly a scenic location but that is not why its there.

...I ate lunch here with my wife and two friends in October 07 We were there because we were shopping at El Corte Ingles, which beyond doubt is the superior supermarket chain in Spain. The service was quick, the waiter was attentive and the food was as good and comprehensive as the menu suggested. The menu itself consisted of typical Spanish fare, tenera (Calf) beef, various cuts of pork,a wide selection of fish, soups and salads, nothing that I remember in great detail, but what I do remember was the overall high quality of the food that was served up to me and my companions. Do you ever get that feeling when the food arrives at the table and your mind says either "wow, I think I'm really going to enjoy this," or "Oh no, I wish I'd chosen to eat someowhere else." Well they had the wow factor but not over the top. I recall my bass...

Jardin Del Sol apartments, Playa Del Ingles

Advantages: Centrally located, great staff, great apartments.
Disadvantages: None

...Playa Del Ingles in Gran Canaria.....what a place! i love it there, even though i've only ever been twice in my whole life if i could afford to go every year this is the place i'd go, well here and Salou ;) I recently went to PDI (short for Playa Del Ingles) in July 2007 for 2 weeks, with my young daughter who's 6 and my mum (don't ask lol), we were booked into the Jardin Del Sol appartments, obviously i did abit of research beforehand as i like to know what to expect when traveling with my daughter and the reviews i read were ok, like with most reviews you'll get some great ones and some not so great, where ever you stay it all depends on the person and what you yourself make of the place, but here's my 2 pence worth anyway. It was roughly a 15 minute coach ride, possibly abit faster if your in a taxi from the airport in Las...

Review of Jardin Del Sol Apartments, Playa Del Ingles, Gran Canaria

Take Me Back There!

Advantages: Sunny, Hot, Lively, Lovely Beach, Great Nightlife!
Disadvantages: Geared Towards 18-30's, Lacks Culture/Heritage!

...I returned from Playa del Ingles in Gran Canaria just over 4 weeks ago now and already it seems like a lifetime! As soon as I set foot back in England it seems like I was whizzed back to my desk (in my very boring temping job) and the tan started to fade in front of my very eyes! It also seems much longer than 5 months ago that I found myself sat in Thomson's along with my 4 best friends eagerly planning our girly holiday to celebrate passing (fingers crossed) the first year of our University degree. We finally decided on Playa del Ingles as it was the central party place in the Canaries, we were guaranteed endless sunshine to top up our tans and more importantly it was cheap! And so saw us departing for our 10 days frolicking in the sun just over 5 weeks ago now! ** Where is it? ** Gran Canaria is located in the Atlantic sea...

Review of Playa Del Ingles

British and from Scarborough yet he is the KING

Advantages: Brave and enjoyable to watch
Disadvantages: None really

...Muhammad Ali will always be crowned as Boxing's God forever and understandably right too. But there's a boxer by the name of Paul Ingle who's bravery and skill takes him far and brings a light to your eye. Scarborough hasn't really brought out famous boxers, its more famous for the supposedly terrific seafront. But 2 years ago he won the American Featherweight title, this year he won the British Featherweight title! He also put up a fantastic battle against the highly skilled and well known Naz Hameed. I have watched this man fight several times and in all his fights, I have to say I was very satisfied by the quality of boxing he displayed. He dont just fight well, with his clever left hook and his sharp upper-cut, he proves to all us who watch that boxing IS a sport. As I box myself, people think and tell me its...

Review of Paul Ingle

The one and only Spanish Department Store

Advantages: one-stop-shop
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

...El Corte Ingles ( the English Cut) is the only big department store in Spain present in most big cities. Barcelona has got two, one strategically located in the busiest part of the city – Placa Catalunya (7 floors) and the other situated in the main Business and Finance street – Diagonal (5 floors). Compared to UK department stores I would say that El Corte Ingles could be at the same level as John Lewis, although some people might say that it would be closer to Selfridges. Most of these department stores have the same layout: Lower ground floor – Supermarket with a wide selection of top class meats, cheeses, wines, cava, etc Groud floor – Accessories, Cosmetics, Perfumes, Souvenirs… Then upwards, each floor is dedicated to a category only – menswear, womeswear, children, house & garden...

Review of Cortes Ingles (Barcelona)

Best food store in Europe, but it comes at a price

Advantages: fantastic variety of high quality food
Disadvantages: long queues, very expensive

...El Corte Inglés is Spain's largest chain of department stores. Whereas they sell everything from cloth to computers, I fancy them particularly for their food section. If you want to prepare your own original Spanish Tapas, you will find all ingredients at Corte Inglés (and some Tapa recommendations in this review). To a wannabe gourmet and amateur cook like myself, El Corte Inglés is a dream come true. A Portuguese friend of mine who runs a seafood restaurant in my German hometown drives twice a week to the fish market in Paris. If I was ever to go so far only to buy food, well, then it would be a flight to Madrid, with direct transfer from Barajas Airport to the next El Corte Inglés store. So who am I to claim that this is Europe's best food store? The main supermarket in my small hometown was just voted best food store in...

THE IDEAL "PARTNER" FOR YOUR HOLIDAY?

Advantages: nice rooms and pool, good location
Disadvantages: food leaves a lot to be desired

...Last month me and my mum set off to Playa del Ingles in Gran Canaria and our destination once we got there was the Partner Playa del Ingles. I was really looking forward to this holiday as I've had a bit of a bad time of late and was looking forward to escaping - I'd been to Playa del Ingles before so knew what to expect, and was dying to get some sunshine. *****LOCATION***** The Partner Playa is situated fairly centrally in Playa del Ingles, as opposed to the hotel we stayed at on our last trip (the IFA Continental) - our room was directly opposite the Plaza, Metro and Kasbah shopping centres, which meant it was just a quick trip around the corner if we felt like going shopping. It was also only a short walk from the beach, less than five minutes away in fact. (Of course, that's not taking into account the tons of steps you have...

Review of Aparthotel Partner Playa del Inglés, Grand Canary

Gran Canaria great holiday to suit all

Advantages: great british pubs,good shopping,good food,very friendly

...Went to Playa del Ingles last year,we were there for gay pride and it was absolutely amazing.The Yumbo center has a lot to offer,in the day time it has tons and tons of shops from tobacco shops to electrical,fragrances and tons of fashion shops.In the night the yumbo center is filled street performers and cabaret bars my favourite rickys bar a must see show.there is a water park just a short bus ride away make sure you wear sun lotion as i got burnt so quick there.The beach is satisfactory.I just want to make people aware when you go into the town center be careful there are loads of people promoting there pubs offering you free bottles of champagne and buy one get one free drinks once inside they charge you full price for everything we were only in the pub for about 20 minutes and only had two drinks they tried to charge us nearly 200...

Review of Playa Del Ingles

All the Best Stores in One

Advantages: Easy to get around, friendly staff, easy to find, lots of products
Disadvantages: Perhaps a little big to find what you're looking for!

...El Corte Ingles, as they describe themselves, really is 'Todas las mejores tiendas - en una.' Or in English, All the best stores - in one. And that's because it really is great. Selling everything from loo roll to caviar, from wendy houses to mansions, from toys to real cars... it just has everything. It is similar to a kind of department store - a bit like Harrods, except bigger and not quite as grand. And some staff even speak English so their very similar! I have visited the one in Bilbao and Madrid, and I'm going to talk to you about the one in Bilbao because I see it as better, although they are both pretty similar. El Corte Ingles now has a very attractive and inviting interior, after being renovated before the coming of Marks and Spencer to Bilbao (see separate opinion). It has seven floors with just about every last...
