Photos from Kevin

Thanks to Kevin Speak for sending a fantastic selection of photos from the 70s, if anyone out there remembers Kevin I'm sure he'd love to hear from you! here is a note from Kevin -
"I worked at both Moby Dicks and The Pink Panther during different seasons from 1974 to 76, it’s been a really nice trip for me down memory lane to see so many of the old workers I once called my friends some of which as the season came to an end we would then travel down to Grand Canaria and hang out at the Guantanamo campground at a beach called La Playa de Touro"

Just look at the the price of the meal in the above photo 95pts!!

After all the bars and cafes in Lloret that used to do Sunday lunch or a typical cooked breakfast, just now its very hard to find a place where you can get such a meal.... In fact just now you cant, everywhere is shut.
The White Horse and Bravehearts have sadly closed down and even El Torito which hasn't closed for years are having a long winter break. There wont be many bars left soon!

Thanks to Carol for todays photos featuring the Moby Dick back in about 1977.
