Just back after four months, Sombrero area. Noise no real problem, flies worse than we can remember, weather as good as ever, if not better! Restaurants, agree with Davymar and Pete on TT, Charlie’s. Favourite this year Flor del Drago followed closely by Casa Edu. Domingo’s, PA still as good as ever, Bods for no frills and good value. Disappointed with Jardin Del Sol, Ibericos OK, Harbour Club not mentioned much but good food at fair prices not keen on their entertainment. Tried Uwe and Renata’s for first time at end of break should have gone earlier would have returned and the new fish restaurant in San Juan is worth a try as well. If you can ignore the road works pretty much everywhere you’ll have a great time. Oh forgot Tapas y Tapas for great lunch in the sun!

 When did bodeguitas change as was same people two weeks ago

Unhappy, that seems a strange reply, my understanding is the forum is used to pass on different opinions and personal opinions, in a light hearted manner, that may help others. We did indeed have evening meals in Puerto santiago, we got the taxi up the hill and walked back down it, we ate twice at the side street near Vigillia park, right at the end is a typical Canarian bar, not many tourists visit it, we speak a little Spanish so it held no fear for us, we have only eaten as far as Casa Pedro's on the bad bend, never in PA.
As you used to own property until your spat with the authorities, perhaps you could give advice on where you would recommend tourists eat and why, i, as well as others would be willing to glean from your experience.

I also see that the Green corner is operating, with live music, actually some have been quite good, but we tend to listen from Louis bar, or Sangria bar, it does not seem as rowdy as the Green corner in the past did, but as its prices for drinks are far more expensive than all of the other bars, it comes as no surprise, 3.50 for a glass of wine compared to 2.80 ish at other places.  we have not noticed any sign of pickpockets, although crowd gatherings such as Alcala market and the square, when the carnival is on are places to be aware of for lowlife brushing against your clothing and bags.
ps, fully agree regarding Charlies Bistro!

Let me try to explain about the Italian Bar/Restaurant down by the marina , first one is down by the street at the back of the marina, you pass a Tapas bar, they are next, they have little stools and cushions on the wall oposite, we did not have food here, but a couple of glasses of wine (they give you a bucket of crisps ) very friendly, no hassle. the second Italian bar/restaurant is on the front of the harbour, right at the far end, it replaced rincon de whatever, it is very good food, anything from tapas to full meals, to suit your pocket or taste.
