Live sports pub tour: where to watch the football
The bars regulars name for football, in walking order, with this weekend's Premier League kick-offs in Benidorm time. Kick-off is an hour later here than in the UK.
Brenda says
“Pick the bar nearest your hotel and get there an hour early on a big match day: seats near a screen go first. The 3pm games that aren't on telly at home are shown here, so read the boards the day before.”
