"In a word no we will not be a swingers meeting bar. When we start to see more tourists we will be putting back on our Thursday socials. We have had some great Thursday nights 50+ people We offer something different from the normal bars. I’m sure people will agree who have been to our bar that we offer something different and a cheap night out with fun and friendly owners. We get on fantastically with the eden owners and can’t wait to work with them and using the bar for a per club drinks and maybe even a game of bingo lol " We love going to Maclennans! Nothing like popping over there for a nice place to unwind with friendly faces, a brilliant vibe, darts pool, good cheap food, cheap drinks.... what more can you ask for? We do invisage a lot of people meeting up at Maclennans first before heading over the bridge, but please remember Maclennans is a sports bar not a swingers bar and has non-swinging patrons. One of our reasons for choosing the location of our new venture was because of Maclennans. There is an amazing vibe and if that same group of smiling faces ends up in our club, we would love to have that vibe too. We are very excited about what post covid GC will have to offer  | |||

"That all sounds great. We can't wait to get back over there and visit Maclennans and Edan. We've had 3 PDI hols cancelled in the last 9 months. Stay strong xx" We look forward to welcoming you and lots of new faces as well. 2021, it’s got to be better than 2020. Hopefully by Easter things will be much clearer for us all | |||

"The world has changed. Places and people have changed. It is not the world we knew, its a new world different rules.." Yes you are right there. We have friends in PDI, at the moment, they have been there since November. He phoned us last night and said it was a different experience...but that is obvious, but they are enjoying their holiday | |||

"We all have friends there. Friends who rely on customer and return visits. But who cannot open as the virus levels keep changing. Visitors to the Canary islands in general are at an all time low. When you look at reports that the Spanish Government will insist on various rules and tests, cannot see a return much before July August, by that time , just like here , business will be no more, and places within our world will have changed forever " Yep, quite right. They have fought very hard to contain the virus out there, obviously at a cost to business . They are far more strict there, pity it wasn't the same here. | |||

Many videos on the net are very brutal (15 cm long knife wounds) that they have a protection of minors, so we don't want to and can't post anything here.
There is a lot in the Spanish newspapers, but they don´t want much information in the foreign news so as not to frighten tourists...
Once again: We don´t judge anything, only say, if you are allowed to come again as tourists, choose your hotel well and be careful in some places.
Hope to see you all soon, we love you english people more than the most germans | |||

More interesting is reading that the Spanish government do not intend to relocate (anymore) migrants to the Spanish mainland. With the current situation of large numbers arriving on an almost daily basis coupled with the already problematic numbers on the island how long will it be before gang rule takes over. There are already reports of bag snatches and tourists being mugged which are possibly likely to increase as more and more numbers arrive. Anyone thinking of going over to holiday in GC would be wise to watch how the current situation unfolds before committing to go. If a bar owner is ‘shutting up shop’ for the night now how safe is it going to be when more and more migrants arrive. Food for thought. | |||

X"Not 100% sure which hotels but they are mainly in Masapalomas, Puerto Rico and Mogan. But there is a holding facility being built or is built where they can be housed before they go back to their country of origin. This was all meant to happen at the end of 2020 but as with most things it takes time. Considering there are approximately 7,000 migrants here at the moment it will take a while to sort out.

Obviously being more vigilant than usual but hey, that's life.
Gran Canaria is still a great place to be and we have not one moment of regret about making the move here. Not one. Miss Eden_GC Xx | |||

"Can we ask which hotels they're being held or which area of PDI? We usually stay at the Catarina. X" The Waikiki, 500 metres from Jardin del Sol was home to 600 migrants when we were on the island in October. Vistaflor at the bottom of hill leading into Maspalomas housed another 300. A 'refugee' camp at Arguinegen held in excess of 2000 but this was to be closed down due to pressure from the Red Cross and other agencies. My understanding is that the majority of those in the 'camp' were to be moved to the Las Palmas area, the remaining being housed in further hotels in Playa del Ingles. There are also a sizeable number in Puerto Rico and Mogan. | |||

Many videos on the net are very brutal (15 cm long knife wounds) that they have a protection of minors, so we don't want to and can't post anything here.
There is a lot in the Spanish newspapers, but they don´t want much information in the foreign news so as not to frighten tourists...
Once again: We don´t judge anything, only say, if you are allowed to come again as tourists, choose your hotel well and be careful in some places.
Hope to see you all soon, we love you english people more than the most germans
Thanks for posting the above link, which upon watching is not a great advert for Gran Canaria and more so Playa del Ingles.
More interesting is reading that the Spanish government do not intend to relocate (anymore) migrants to the Spanish mainland. With the current situation of large numbers arriving on an almost daily basis coupled with the already problematic numbers on the island how long will it be before gang rule takes over. There are already reports of bag snatches and tourists being mugged which are possibly likely to increase as more and more numbers arrive.
Anyone thinking of going over to holiday in GC would be wise to watch how the current situation unfolds before committing to go. If a bar owner is ‘shutting up shop’ for the night now how safe is it going to be when more and more migrants arrive.
Food for thought."I'm not sure how this got turned around. The takeaway from our original post is that the bar owner put the safety of his customers before his business very commendable
As was clearly mentioned, this was due to tensions between a small group of Moroccans and locals. It has nothing to do with tourists or the genuine immigrants fleeing war torn countries which is another issue and been thrashed to death on other threads. | |||

Unfortunately,these things happen in our country and in our area, we wouldn't go anywhere if we give into it. People just have to be aware of their surroundings."I did go to great pains to mention these tensions were between SOME local and SOME Morocans. How this was percieved as tourists getting mugged...

https://nachrichten.es/extreme-gewalt-durch-illegale-migranten-in-maspalomas-gran-canaria/
Many videos on the net are very brutal (15 cm long knife wounds) that they have a protection of minors, so we don't want to and can't post anything here.
There is a lot in the Spanish newspapers, but they don´t want much information in the foreign news so as not to frighten tourists...
Once again: We don´t judge anything, only say, if you are allowed to come again as tourists, choose your hotel well and be careful in some places.
Hope to see you all soon, we love you english people more than the most germans
Thanks for posting the above link, which upon watching is not a great advert for Gran Canaria and more so Playa del Ingles.
More interesting is reading that the Spanish government do not intend to relocate (anymore) migrants to the Spanish mainland. With the current situation of large numbers arriving on an almost daily basis coupled with the already problematic numbers on the island how long will it be before gang rule takes over. There are already reports of bag snatches and tourists being mugged which are possibly likely to increase as more and more numbers arrive.
Anyone thinking of going over to holiday in GC would be wise to watch how the current situation unfolds before committing to go. If a bar owner is ‘shutting up shop’ for the night now how safe is it going to be when more and more migrants arrive.
Food for thought.
I'm not sure how this got turned around. The takeaway from our original post is that the bar owner put the safety of his customers before his business very commendable
As was clearly mentioned, this was due to tensions between a small group of Moroccans and locals. It has nothing to do with tourists or the genuine immigrants fleeing war torn countries which is another issue and been thrashed to death on other threads.
Absolutely agree, the said bar owner needs commending for what he did. Kudos to him for that.
Subsequent posts though contained a link that highlighted that more serious problems relative to the migrants (there is a difference between migrants and immigrants) and tourism became apparent. Namely attacks in various forms against tourists had taken place. You, as residents quite obviously haven’t heard about this as no doubt you would have brought it to the attention of forum users.
Threads do sometimes steer away on a tangent, it’s only natural but in this case I would have thought the fact that tourists, and your potential customers are made fully aware of what is currently going on in Playa del Ingles is not a bad thing.
Should you wish I can post the links to any information I post to bring you up to speed.
Take care my friend,

I think what is not understood by many non locals is that there are two types of migrants. One is the genuine refugee from a war torn country, who is typically French speaking and flown on to French speaking parts of Europe. This has always been the case but Covid-19 has put a spanner in the works.
The other "migrant" is typically Moroccan, has plenty of money. Rocks up on a boat with no paperwork and under EU law is given, accommodation, living allowance etc. They have, cellphones, laptops, cars, designer clothing etc etc. They are eventually repatriated to Morocco at the taxpayers expense.
Whereas the former try to keep a low profile, the latter have a group of troublemakers who are causing problems. Their downfall is this is the age of social media and one of their acts has been caught on camera and went viral. These culprits have been identified and arrests have already been made.
Gran Canaria and PDI in particular are very aware that their lifeblood is tourism and any crimes against tourists are taken very seriously and persued relentlessly. As was mentioned earlier 40 extra officers were allocated to making sure this problem goes away.
Thanks for explaining that
Yes, thanks for explaining that.....its now perfectly clear that if you do get mugged or have your bag snatched the perpetrator is more than likely to be Moroccan, possibly be carrying a laptop and have a mobile phone in the pocket of his Gucci tracksuit, and will make a hasty retreat in a car.
Not what I said at all.
Twisted as usual...I'm not sure what else people want you to say..if anyone is worried about it, don't go. Unfortunately,these things happen in our country and in our area, we wouldn't go anywhere if we give into it. People just have to be aware of their surroundings.
I did go to great pains to mention these tensions were between SOME local and SOME Morocans. How this was percieved as tourists getting mugged... I'll never understand. Maybe some people choose to be obtuse."

So GCs proximity is mute. There are immigrants arriving in Tenerife as well so don't see the logic in your post. Let me tell you about our day. We took a ride down to the Maspalomas Lighthouse and walked to Kiosk 6. Spent the afternoon there, then travelled back. How many people did we see? Can't tell you. 2000, maybe 3000.... who knows... maybe 5000... what we didn't see was one single person who looked like they had come off a boat. So you will have to forgive us when we scoff at the followers of the right wing press who describe the island as being over run with illegal immigrants. Gran Canaria still is one of the safest places you can hope to go on holiday. It is a shame that some people who have had their holidays cancelled this year have taken the sour grapes route. | |||

I hope the pool table stays
Gotta say... I was over there the other night whilst Miss Eden was stuck in the UK.... thought I'd have a quiet lemonade in the corner. The locals were having none of it. I was invited to their table and treated like family. It sounds a bit corny to say, but it's impossible to feel like a stranger at Macs. There's a vibe there that's hard to beat, and this under Level 4. When tourism opens up again Macs bar is going to be the place to be. Just can't wait! Mr Eden
The locals are great out there, aren't they, but you're one too now "Yes we have been welcomed by both the expats and the Spanish locals, one of whom recently referred to us as "family", which got me all misty... | |||

"Looking at a map of the region I can see that GC is the nearest island to the African coast and therefore is the landing point for migrant boats. Wouldn’t it make sense to just change my holiday destination to Tenerife as the sun shines there just the same or do they redistribute the migrants all round the Canaries to spread the load ? Yes. Good logic. No immigrant dinghies landing in Tenerife No immigrant boats arriving in the UK either...
Lots of sunny alternatives... Soweto, Sinaloa, Medellín ....
Your profile suggests you live on GC so therefore I assume you have some useful local knowledge about the situation. Do you know whether the migrants who are arriving in ever increasing numbers and from that from this thread causing an increasing number of local problems being redistributed to all the other Canary Islands such as Tenerife ? If you don’t have a clue or don’t care that’s fine but no need for the sarcasm.
Our information is that not many of these boats launch from Africa, but are dropped off by larger vessels. So GCs proximity is mute. There are immigrants arriving in Tenerife as well so don't see the logic in your post.
Let me tell you about our day. We took a ride down to the Maspalomas Lighthouse and walked to Kiosk 6. Spent the afternoon there, then travelled back. How many people did we see? Can't tell you. 2000, maybe 3000.... who knows... maybe 5000... what we didn't see was one single person who looked like they had come off a boat.
So you will have to forgive us when we scoff at the followers of the right wing press who describe the island as being over run with illegal immigrants.
Gran Canaria still is one of the safest places you can hope to go on holiday. It is a shame that some people who have had their holidays cancelled this year have taken the sour grapes route. "Going to disagree with you on that I don’t think people who have there hols cancelled have sour grapes we thinks your trying to paint a pretty picture and boast about what you have done today good luck to you if you think people like to read that sort of stuff as we have many friends that Live on the island that are saying completely different to you We know who we believe | |||

Do you know whether the migrants who are arriving in ever increasing numbers and from that from this thread causing an increasing number of local problems being redistributed to all the other Canary Islands such as Tenerife ? If you don’t have a clue or don’t care that’s fine but no need for the sarcasm.
Our information is that not many of these boats launch from Africa, but are dropped off by larger vessels. So GCs proximity is mute. There are immigrants arriving in Tenerife as well so don't see the logic in your post.
Let me tell you about our day. We took a ride down to the Maspalomas Lighthouse and walked to Kiosk 6. Spent the afternoon there, then travelled back. How many people did we see? Can't tell you. 2000, maybe 3000.... who knows... maybe 5000... what we didn't see was one single person who looked like they had come off a boat.
So you will have to forgive us when we scoff at the followers of the right wing press who describe the island as being over run with illegal immigrants.
Gran Canaria still is one of the safest places you can hope to go on holiday. It is a shame that some people who have had their holidays cancelled this year have taken the sour grapes route.
Going to disagree with you on that
I don’t think people who have there hols cancelled have sour grapes we thinks your trying to paint a pretty picture and boast about what you have done today good luck to you if you think people like to read that sort of stuff
as we have many friends that Live on the island that are saying completely different to you
We know who we believe
Is it fair to assume that if they are your friends they share your positive outlook on life?
My goodness is that the best you can come up with I’m very disappointed with your comments you have know idea who our friends are you may well have to change your attitude. If you want to make a success of your club people won’t like reading all this crap
No it's not the best we could come up with, just more effort than we think you're worth.
Ha ha love it looking forward to visiting your club when we’re next there
As stated earlier, this will be a place for happy positive people to party."Very positive couple here and we live a party Realy looking forward to meeting you guys | |||

"Looking at a map of the region I can see that GC is the nearest island to the African coast and therefore is the landing point for migrant boats. Wouldn’t it make sense to just change my holiday destination to Tenerife as the sun shines there just the same or do they redistribute the migrants all round the Canaries to spread the load ? Yes. Good logic. No immigrant dinghies landing in Tenerife No immigrant boats arriving in the UK either...
