Can you bust out a Data Sheet?

The forum has zero credible information on that city.

"I haven't been there for years"

Understood, at least some info on best neighborhoods to stay, hotels etc.

Here you go..
/thread-13911.html

Ha.

That is one of those crappy Dash Global data sheets. Those things are worthless.

I have heard so many mixed reviews on this place. No fly local girls? Did the place suck that bad?

Nasa Bahamas: Was only there for a day, but it was a tourist trap where I was.

Nassau is a shit hole. I've been there about 20 times passing through on my way to other parts of the Bahamas and it's always a relief to get out of there. A complete contrast to the rest of the country which is unspoilt and full of friendly people.

Overrated:
Kiev - Sex tourists heaven.
Barcelona - Gets way more press then it deserves.
Amsterdam - Constantly harassed by immigrants pushing drugs.
Marrakesh - Unless you like shopping there's not much to do.
Prague - Stunning but over run with other foreigners.
Moscow - Expensive and unfriendly. Incredible women however.

Underrated:
Brussels - Good night life and stunning architecture. Loved it.
Linyi ( Shandong,China ) - Loved it there. Good clubs,friendly women,banged lots. Would return.
Tbilisi - Cheap and incredibly friendly. Hard to bang though.
Ulan Bator - Friendly and fun women,great memories.
Indonesia ( outside of Bali ) - Easiest place in world to bang. Word!
Brasov - Friendly women,decent skiing,quaint town. Would return.
Bishkek - Wild,lawless,unfriendly local dudes. Friendly local women! loved it.

I loved Marrakech, but I seem to be the only one. Most of the fun of the city comes from the food scene. Shopping is also fantastic.

Most underrated: Lima Peru. People bash Peru's women but they were so sexy there and I had the luck of meeting models, professional dancers etc etc. I felt like I just swept right into the city and had the cream of the crop

The Brits tend to not integrate into the spanish parts that well in some areas, in others (Malaga, La Manga, Benidorm) they are all over the towns.

On that coast, Alicante and Altea. Actually I do recall seeing a few brits at lunch in Altea. But not bad at all.

Alicante there must have been some, but I don't remember any. For instance, I can't recall a single conversation I had with one.

Skipped Benidorm because I heard it was overrun by brits.

On north coast, Santander. Zero brits there for sure.

I want to visit the Northern coast, Santander, Bilbao, La Coruna, I've heard theres quite a surfer crowd there in certain seasons.

Bo, I think you are mistaken about the city of Malaga itself, it is not full of Brits at all. The province of Malaga as a whole, yes, it has a large number of British expats, due the the fact that it is the warmest place on mainland Europe during the winter.

But, the city of Malaga itself has been spared, it is very Spanish. Yes, you see some tourists that come out to explore from the coastal towns, but they don't live there. The closest most of them come to Malaga is the big Ikea that has been built outside town. Now, you get to Torremolinos and yes, you start seeing the tacky British bars and restaurants.

do you have some pictures of these peruvian women?

i saw some very good looking ones, in the sea of alot of average looking ones.

Santander has beautiful beaches. Weather is great in summer. Waves. Cantabria.

Bilbao is not on the coast. Worth going to, but I didn't dig the place that much. Only there for two days and a night. Pais Vasco.

A Coruna is in Galicia. Never been. I heard the weather sucks and the seafood is some of the worlds best. I am sure there is an amazing coastline, but you might not get to see it without rain.

I'm with you, Miraflores (upscale part of Lima) is awesome. Great weather, excellent food, casinos, nice parks with views of the ocean, safe, and I find Peruvians attractive and way more laid back than other Latinas.

Completely overpriced and overrated. If you're looking to escape to the tropics but don't want to speak Spanish, eat local food, or see local living conditions, go to Antigua. Here you can find cafes and restaurants serving typical American meals at typical American prices. Expect to see some idiot wearing safari gear with a camera that weighs 30lbs hung around his neck and a fanny pack strapped around his waist.

Most Underrated: Managua, Nicaragua

Interesting.

Not trying to call you out, I agree that Antigua Guatemala is very overpriced and probably overrated. There was a sea of tourists when I was there.

Still....you described managua as a beautiful city?? Compared to what an industrial eastern european shithole?? Where exactly did u stay in Managua? I found the city to be one of the dirtiest, dustiest, ugliest,hottest cities in Latin America. Nevertheless, I made the most of my time there, prices are very cheap. Average quality of women on the street wasnt too impressive. I hit two of the hottest clubs in the capital at the time when I went, Hipa Hipa and another one I forget and the talent was better there but nowhere near Colombia, Brazil or Argentina.

Bojangles, you are starting to get all over the map (so to speak).

Lloret Del Mar is north of Barcelona on Costa Brava.

That is nowhere near Malaga. Might as well be a different planet.

Wasn't Lloret. Lloret is way up in Catalunya and the best thing about it is no English. It's full of Russians and Scando's. There's a club there called the 'CCCP Disco which usually consists of a small group of attractive Russian chicks in the middle of the dance floor being circled by 500 or so horny Scandinavian guys all hoping to get lucky.

Ahh, I just remember this place down there, seemed like a Brit holiday resort on par with Benidorm. Benalmadena?

god i really need to go back to Spain for a nice trip, im flunking terribly trying to remember shit

Yep, Benalmadena. It is still not Benidorm though. Closest to that on the Costa Del Sol would probably be Torremolinos or maybe Fuengirola. But, like I said, that is the province of Malaga. The city of Malaga itself is a whole different world. Most Brits get off the airport at Malaga and head straight to to many of the coastal towns that stretch all the way up to Gibraltar. You get Marbella and Puerto Banus with it's million dollar yachts along the way.

My lad Jimmy has a place in Malaga, I might see if I can get out there for a week later on this year following the balkans expedition

Ayia Napa is really bad G.

It's similar to this, high chances of an STD, shit location, and drunken brits






done the whole magaluf, albufeira, ayia napa, malia thing myself and i wouldnt go back to that sort of holiday thing

It's easy to do worst than Sofia outside the Balkans. The city is quickly losing it's shitholy feel, so I dunno, maybe someday it'll be a great place to visit.

I thought you were American? '...do worst...?' 'it's?' Either way, I want more people to say Sofia is shitty because I would prefer to be in the city with less foreigners. Sofia is the worst fucking city in the world. Do not go there please!

Can you break this down a little more?

Bust out a sheet perhaps?
