Hi

If you catch the D/F bus from interchange at Eras de la Sal (next to the international marina) it'll take you to Punta Prima via various backstreets - allowing you to see a bit more of the area. It takes about 30 minutes. Almost everybody in the bars at PP speaks English, and there's lots of entertainment at Taberna Marco Polo and The Bridge (which are almost next to each other). The bus terminates at PP, so you don't have to worry about where to get off.

Cheers

Steve

Hi Julie,

Entertainment every day or night at "The Emerald Isle" in La Florida, just inland from Punta Prima:

I've only been there by car, but I'm sure locals can tell you whether it's on a bus route.

Kind regards,

Kim
