Corralejo, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands:

Foreign bars are always problematic: they’re not, well, pubs, are they?

We decided this met the description of pub. You order at the bar, like in a pub. The atmosphere was pub-like. Best of all, opposite our hotel.

Really friendly barman, from Dunfermline. Decent prices, and the first place we found that had diet tonic water, accompanied by traditionally large vodka measures. No ale, obviously. Live music from the charming Liam from Co. Clare, ROI. We found ourselves returning on several occaisions.
