Always stay in S.A, but around the bay. This time were staying in Cala Gracio. Dont mind walking around the west end, but we never really stop there. Typical Brits abroad place that you see all over.
Last year, I did notice a slight difference in that for the first time, we caught the last few days of the 'school holiday' brigade. Once they had all left, the west end wasn't as bad. Still not great, but a little bit more bearable!!!
Wherever you go, its what you make of it at the end of the day. As others have said, I've had some great nights in the west end, but some shockers too!!
But I wouldnt stay anywhere else other than S.A. It's got everything I want, and If I want to go elsewhere, its easy to get in and out of.
I've never felt comfortable in P.D.B. There is definitely attitude and arrogance in the air.
Each to their own!

In response to seeing fights, I've maybe seen 3-4 since May (and one was a girl I worked with throwing chairs at the customers!!)
Same here. I always book the same hotel next to the bus station, so access is easy. San An has everything I need, so much so, I haven't even considered staying elsewhere over the years.
I honestly struggle to think of a time I've witnessed a fight in the West End, I must be remarkably lucky to avoided them.
Different nights mate. Didn't see the dude die there and then but heard afterwards he had died when we were talking to the police. I don't know how or why it happened, he could have started the fight himself, I'm really not sure. Just sharing my experiences. That kind of stuff can happen anywhere in the world that people are drinking / holidaying but San An and particularly the West End does have a high concentration of anti social behavior.

one way to get people into the bar i suppose....
"get yourself into this bar now or you'll get a chair in the face!!!"
it would get me in for sure.....

I don't mind the westend, it serves a purpose.for pre drinks if your headin to a club or a cheap night out if you want to get steaming.done the last 2 summers and lived a stones throw away from the w.e. there's always someone you know havin a drink at any time of the day so it's good for that reason. Seen a fair few fights there but it's gonna happen if alcohol and 2 groups have a disagreement. As for the rest of San an, love the place. Cala gracio, cliff jumps, sunset, itica etc its got everything you need. Plus it's a great base for the summer! If you don't like it, don't go there!
I've stayed in San An every year since 08 Moved down the bay since 11 but I have never really had a problem with it the west end is what it is drunk young people letting loose I've had some of my best nights down the west end and I'm sure lots of people looked at me and my friends and thought we were drunken idiots but isn't that the whole point of the west end?? The past two years the west end has irritated me because my priorities have changed I'm much more interested in the music and in the clubs than getting wasted but I no what to expect when i go to the westend. This year I'm thinking of staying in PDB for the 1st time but some of the comments are turning me right off nothing I hate more then the stuck up too cool to dance crowd in some of the clubs and if PDB is full of them I'll be staying well clear.

It is full of drunks and loud n rowdy people, but if you are not going to Ibiza for that then you won't see it!!
I still stayed in San An last year but hardly saw any of the West End, the only time i saw a load of pissheads was when i was walking back to the hotel after being in the clubs

That's what I enjoyed about San An, bar from a few pushy and rude PR's on the outskirts it was easy enough to avoid the West End and it's natives.
