We were in the old town up the hill Slippy.Surely thats the same?maybe not.From what I have read they have massively developed the coastline.
Report Slippy Blue • January 3, 2010 11:28 PM GMT
Great in the Summer and it´s a good spot if you like solitude when the season finishes, superb beach and coastline but the whole of the coast is on its knees. Any Spanish bar or restaurant will be closed that rely on the tourists. I have been to Vera on an educational, pronounced Bera, I hated the place personally reg.

From what I can gather Belgium is falling as is every other country in Europe but Brugge is different.Its a walled city.A citizen from the 17thC would recognise it because it is intact. It has stability in that a lot of the families have been there for hundreds of years or.It is used to welcoming strangers .It has no great social problems. It is a stable,non violent,safe,calm city.I hope it retains so for my lifetime.
