What is your VERY favourite aspect? A difficult question I know, but will make you think.
Mine is the warm friendly atmosphere amongst all who are there.
Phil
The very first time we went and walked down from the Tria to the beach, we stood there on the front and it was such a fantastic feeling, i knew I never wanted to go anywhere else, cant put a name to it, but its that!

The feeling I get of love & warmth & excitment as we get to the village. Love Viv
Arillas puts me in a better place which I can draw from but cannot explain but know its powers are there.
Feeling, Well Being, Calmness and Serenity, Peacefulness, and of course Friendship.
Kind Regards,
Jaz.
Only 1 favourite part? Now that is so difficult. I love all of it!
If I have to pick one part then I suppose then it has to be the all encompassing answer of atmosphere - the friendliness, the fact there is something for everyone, I just start smiling the moment I arrive and don't stop until I leave (big glum face!)
It has to be the Jetty. Its the Arillas Landmark and when you stand at the end and look back at Arillas you kniw you have two weeks of complete tranquility.
If I MUST name just one it will be looooooong leisurly dinner at Armourada. :)
No stress, pure relaxation, happiness at meeting old and new friends, opening the balcony doors and just seeing Gravia. The smell of the gorgeous food being cooked, all the smileing faces ................. OOPS SORRY PHIL .... that's more than 1 xx
I always feel like a kid feels at Christmas and then when the taxi reaches Tria well the feelings just escalate then, get a feeling of comeing home.

Sitting at the table in Vavilas, hearing and smelling the cooking, thomas making us laugh, chatting to his family and eating the divine food.

In that case I have another one too:
A looooooong leisurly lunch at Thalassa looking over Gravia with lashings of sweet white vino :)
Phillip and his family at tria adelphia. He doesn't know it but he was a big part of us falling in love with arillas during our honeymoon. I remember him coming to take our order on the first night and I think I'd attempted to order 4 or 5 things before I got to one which didn't get a reply of "not tonight". After that I just asked him what was "good tonight" and went with his suggestions.
A few years later when he got new freezers installed he made a point of taking me into the kitchen when I arrived, and said "now you can have anything you want". We didn't come to arillas this year, and really the only things I missed were the people, and the sunset as we were on the north east side.
For me, it`s exactly has Jazz has said. So it is the `whole experience`.

For both Bill and I it is exactly the same.
You can't see it and you can't touch it. Arillas wraps its self around you, and holds your heart forever.

For me its calmness, serenity, the quiet, late night sounds of gentle lapping from the water on the shore that soothe me in to a state of complete euphoria.....in other words I get very chilled and more than Horizontal...ah deep sigh

THE PEOPLE ,,,YAMMAS
None of us can just state one! My No 2 favourite has so many joint winners I could write a book.
I am so glad to see that Dimitris has moved this to the public facing Arillas General Information board, because it can only help to promote our place to the world.

I love that quote, Val!
Just have to say I agree with Jazz about the well being, calmness and serenity, with Phil about the warm friendly atmosphere, with Viv about the love, warmth and excitement on reaching Arillas, with Jill about the feeling of coming home, with Kevin that it's the people, and with Paul that it is the whole experience....
Well, you surely didn't expect just one from me, did you??

ARILLAS IS A SPECIAL PLACE.
------------------------------------------
THE SETTING OF THE SUN, A JOURNEY HAS BEGUN.
FOND MEMORIES OF FRIENDS NEW AND OLD,
HUGS AND KISSES AND TALES WILL BE TOLD.
MOST WILL BE GOOD, SOME WILL BE SAD,
A SPIRIT LIVES IN ARILLAS, WHICH MAKES US ALL GLAD.
THE MORNING SUN AND THE GENTLE WAVES,
THE INNER FEELING THAT EVERYONE CRAVES.
A WONDERFUL BEACH WITH THAT FAMOUS PIER,
WHO WILL ADMIT TO SHEDDING A TEAR.
THE LOCAL PEOPLE SO LOYAL AND PROUD,
THEY WELCOME YOU ALL, ALONE OR A CROWD.
AT THE PEARLY GATES WE SHALL STATE OUR CASE,
THAT ARILLAS REALLY IS, A SPECIAL PLACE.
LOVE,
JAZ, X
Nice one Jaz, welcome to the poets/writters corner.
