I've just been able to return to my holiday house near Fortuna, and have spent the covid-enforced absence trying to learn Spanish online. I'd love to practice speaking it with someone else who is learning and wondered if anyone else is in same position? I thought we could meet for a coffee and chat in Fortuna. I'm free anytime for next 10 weeks, and thought the Pan y Dulce might be a pleasant place to meet? Happy to send my phone number to arrange things if you're interested.

Although coffee, cake and informal chat is my preferred way forward, I would also be interested if anyone knows of Spanish lessons available locally. I'm presuming the official lessons that used to be run by the town remain closed.

Hello. We are still not speaking Spanish.!!! Just wanted to ask where did you fly from. We live in Glasgow and have booked flights on 12 July but feel they might be cancelled. We are also in Fortuna.

I live in Wales, and flew from Bristol. Because they were so cheap I had booked several flights as a contingency, and one was cancelled (which I got a refund), but this latest Ryanair one ran OK. I think airlines have reduced schedules while Spain is Amber, but, from Bristol at least, are still running a minimum service. Plane was half full, so there is a small demand. Good luck, and hope you make it in July.

Sounds perfect, I'll aim to be there this Thursday. (I've only heard of the Castle Bar in Las Kalendas, is that the same place as the Carcelera bar?)

No not the castle bar. It's  the Carcelera bar restaurant is on the urbanisation of Las Kalendas.  See you tomorrow God's Willing .

Hi. I'm reluctantly back in UK now until November, but I did go to the Las Kalends gatherings while I was in Spain and very enjoyable. They were being held at 11.30 most Tuesday and Thursday's in the Bombay (as Carcelera bar not reopened at the time) You can just turn up, it's all pleasantly informal. Maybe see you there in November! Cheers
