smoking
for all the people that moan about the smokers we were the one that stood out side the bar all winter, may i suggest that you eat inside if you don't like the smoke, or where you in the winter when the bars needed trade not sitting out side i guess
SHORTAGE OF SNOOKER CLUBS
I am an avid Snooker player and find it extremely difficult to find many clubs around in and around the Rojales/Quesada/Torrevieja areas. I know there are a couple in Quesada, which we have tried and they are not bad, but they are not always opened on a sunday. So if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

SWIMMING POOL
Does anybody know if there are any open air swimming pools in Almoradi? what days and times they open. If there are any what do they charge to get in!
Thanks
There is the main sports centre just on the outskirts of Almoradi. It is opened 7 days a week from 9am - 9pm. There are 4 pools and a cafe area or you can take a picnic with you. Last year when my family used it it was 1 euro to get in, but I am not sure if it has gone up.
Directions - If walking go to the Almoradi football ground and there is a camino by the side of the ground, go straight down this road until you come to a main road, the sports centre is across this road and directly in front of you. If driving follow the road to El Saladar, when you come to the main junction/traffic lights turn right, you will come to round about take 2nd exit and this will take you into the sports centre. Hope this helps.
Thank you Almoradi Life,
We do have a small pool where we are renting but its like a plunge pool. Also we have family coming over during the summer holidays and wanted a larger pool. This sounds great and we will be using it probably most days. Cheers
Yeh I have used this open air pool on a few ocassions and it is always packed: Great facilities and you can easily spend the whole day there without realising. Recommended to anyone who wants a peaceful day out and to top up their sun tan.
There is also a community pool in Algorfa which is very close. It is large and very nice, worth a look. You will find it easy, if you drive thru traffic lights in Algorfa coming from Almoradi, up hill as if heading towards La Finca, there a number of yellow apartment blocks on the right, and you will find it near these.
Shop Counter
Does anyone have any ideas where I can get a second-hand shop counter from. Schhhhhhhhhh its for the dog charity shop.
I HAVE GOT A GREAT IDEA
Lets put a burning stick in my mouth and breath over 240 poisons into my body at the same time blowing out the smoke to do the same to anyone else that is near to me. What a great idea. I think I will teach my kids to do the same.

As we have a bar here on the Urb, I must say the smoking ban was a real worry for us. Seeing the problems it has caused in the UK with so many places closing down we were concerned as to the effects it may have on our business. Fortunately as the whether is good here most of the year......not to cold to sit outside, we have found that things have been fine for us. People knew the ban was coming into force and happily go outside to smoke.
I think if they were to bring in some crazy ban like not being able to smoke within 50 meters of the premises, then all the bar and restaurant owners here may as well close our doors now. As for wanting to attract more tourists o the area, I think you could forget that as well. I pray to god this never happens, because no business here means no work for me, so I would be another of the many who are having to pack up their things and head back to the UK.
Bye the way I am NOT a smoker.
