It’s been almost one month since we last posted photos of the new beach ‘Playa de Ajabo’ at Callao Salvaje.  We have been down several times since but nothing much has been happening.  We’ve heard that work has stopped for a few weeks but we don’t know if this is true or just local rumours, when I was down there this lunchtime only a few construction personnel were visible. It appears [...]

As we approach mid August the new beach at Callao Salvaje ‘Playa de Ajabo’ is still in the construction stage of phase 1.  A project which had a provisional completion date of July 2011 is slightly behind schedule, but by Tenerife standards we are still looking good. Although it might not seem like much has been done recently, a lot of work has gone into the completion of the pathways and the [...]

On Wednesday 13th July 2011 two very special people, Beth and Andy renewed their wedding vows on the lower terrace at Pearly Grey just in front of the Atlantic Ocean. It was their 15th wedding anniversary, and much to Beth’s surprise Andy had organised everything from the order of service, to secretly packing a special dress for Beth together with shoes and accessories. At 5.30pm Beth thought they [...]

As we near the end of June the new beach at Callao Salvaje ‘Playa de Ajabo’ is possibly only weeks away from the completion of phase 1.  A project which had a provisional date of July 2011 is nearing the end of construction. You can’t really see a great difference in the general view of the beach but a lot of work has been going on with the infrastructure of the area.  In particular you will [...]

Cette semaine, tout le personnel de Pearly Grey a dû participer au cours annuel de prévention des incendies, obligation légale en Espagne. Plutôt intensif le cours se déroule sur une journée complète avec la théorie, l’instruction et la pratique. La journée commence à 09h15 avec une sélection de diaporamas, vidéos et conversations. Après la pause déjeuner, nous avons chacun passé [...]

Hello Blog Fans!! Had a great week this week, apart from a cold I seem to have picked up! And the Spanish Beecham’s seems to be a bit stronger than the UK variety! The only downside was an extremely rare defeat at the water Olympics! So for the first time in ages I had to do the funky chicken! Although I did feel that there was a lot of cheating from the other side and also there were a few bribes [...]

Hello Blog fans!!! Hope we are all healthy and fit? What a couple of weeks I have had, I must say I really love my job and I really love doing my job at the Pearly Grey.  Last week my girlfriend said to me that I should grow up, but that is not possible for me!  As you will probably all agree, I have a feeling that the downturn in the UK and Ireland is starting to change, this last two weeks everyone [...]
