Nope sorry not harsh at all, you walk round Puerto Colon and see for yourself, starting at Scotch Corner and Matlocks, 2 English brekkies for 5€, then head down the port, its the same down there.
Almost every bar is doing large beers for 1€ during the day, cheap as chip meals, i could name a bar that was doing Steak Pie,Mash, Peas and Gravy for 2€ then a pint for another 1€. Taffs corner was doing large DORADA for 5-c until 6, wonder why he isn't there any more??????????????
Imagine 4 blokes eating and getting a beer for 3€, not much over £2.50, then the bars complain they aren't making any money.
I know from first hand experience the problems with Puerto Colon, it is a tired complex, it needs money spending on it, lets face it with Fanabe and Del Duque as its closest neighbours would you rather tread the spotless paths and the golden sand or would you rather fall down the grubby, broken tiled stairs?
Lets face it what does cheap brekkies and 1€ pints attract?
If they all worked together and charged the same prices, for example at least 2€ for a large beer then people wouid pay it as they wouldn't know any different and maybe the area could start to regenerate or else it will end up the same way as Silencio has gone.
And before anyone starts i love Silencio, its a great place and i have fond memories of holidays there and still enjoy playing darts in the League over there but does it still have tourist population????????????

Just noticed the above in the original post, i rest my case!
Average rent on the port about 1500 - 2000 euros.
Beer is about 90€ a barrel, 88 pints in a barrel, sell about 82 pints after spillages and pulling the new barrel off etc.
So one barrel makes brings in 82 euros, bought for 90, thats a loss of 8€ in my book ok maybe one in three free so for every four barrels sold maybe 80€ made.
Do the sums and then hopefully you will see where i am coming from with this topic, cheap isn't always good, especially if it will see you out of business eventually!
