Arillas general information / Re: Brouklis Sunday Opening?
Last post by Teresa - May 17, 2025, 12:02:29 PMThanks all.
It will definitely make booking more important, especially at peak times.
In larger resorts it wouldn't be quite as much of a problem, but Arillas is quite 'condensed' with relatively few Tavernas to Holiday makers.
I suppose it will save us walking up and down the sea front trying to decide!!

I suppose they could employ more staff and work a 7 day rota system
Which is probably the reason the rules were made to reduce unemployment.
That would of course reduce the bottom line and increase prices.

As I understand it staff must be given a time off for a rest period, so opening hours are restricted. An unofficial ''rota'' between establishments seems to make sense . Legal changes came into force this year.
Could make pre booking even more essential

Last post by Eggy - May 16, 2025, 07:02:20 PMDimitris, I am sure , can explain the new employment law better than I.
But you will still find somewhere to eat on a Sunday.
"Costas on the Beach" , for example closes all day Monday. Some places open for lunch and some places may not open until 4pm ish.
I am sure all the local "eateries" have worked together on this to keep you guys well fed.
Cheers

Arillas general information / Brouklis Sunday Opening?
Last post by Teresa - May 16, 2025, 05:37:21 PMHi,
We are coming back to Arillas in July, I was just checking out a few of our usual haunts, and on Brouklis website it says it is closed on Sundays due to a new employment law?? Surely this isn't every Taverna or Sundays could be a bit boring and hungry!!!

Currency, cash and exchange. / Re: Latest euro rate
Last post by Truth - May 16, 2025, 03:34:33 PMAll everyone needs to do to get the best rate going is watch this space ! What I will do is every time I order Euros I'll post here that I have and what rate I got . Then you simply have to wait for two weeks from that point to buy and the rate will have shot up , it really is that simple !!!! 😂😂😂😂

Some interesting trends happening...
The Pound has made solid gains against the Euro rising to 5-week highs.1.1716 today
These trends are essentially a reversal of what happened in March and early April.
It's pretty much being driven by trade deals and a corresponding shift in risk appetite.
The US-UK trade deal has benefited the Pound with President Trump saying the UK is a 'great friend of the United States. (Time will tell lol )
The Euro has been a big loser recently, not only falling against the Pound but also against the Dollar
As investors are feeling more optimistic, the big institutional money is flowing out of the Euro and back into the US Dollar and Pound.
The level the Pound looks more vulnerable though.
On Thursday this week, the latest UK GDP data will be announced. It's expected to show the economy has stalled to 0.0% growth ie no growth at all. Not good
This could trigger the Bank of England to cut rates further, which would be Pound negative. Although there seems to a division within the BOE is this the right time for another rate cut as inflation is expected to rise again
Geoff
Hope it continues to increase ready for hols
