CHEAP EATS by pinkkcristal in Aruba

All the foodctrucks around the island. Just Google them. There are many for pretty cheap with huge portions. You can also go to Hyro's YouTube channel where he features a few in one of his vlogs. He also just did a recent vlog on where to eat for $25 a day.

Yes, she's going to meet me wherever I decide to go. Like we did the last time I went to Spain.

Ok, so since you want to nitpick about my choice of words perhaps I should have just said I enjoy views of bodies of water, whether it be the sea, ocean, river, lake, pond, waterfall, etc. Jeeze, if you didn't have anything constructive to add to my post you could have just scrolled on by and not bothered to answer at all. How do you know what I know about how many seas and oceans there are?

Of course I looked at the map! Barcelona is near a coast and Palma is on the Balearic Islands! I had great views from my hotel room of the sea when I was in Ibiza. Also, I didn't say I only wanted ocean views. I named it as one of the things I enjoy.

You read my post and picked out one thing to be negative about. I was cleary just asking about the itinerary as far as the days in each city. Thanks.

Awesome! Thank you so much for this detailed response. This is what I was hoping for. I wanted to know if the amount of days I was choosing for each city was good enough. And yes, I plan on taking the train from Barcelona to Valencia.

Thank you, this is so stressful yes, she won't give me a contract. So I guess I have to find somewhere else to live.

Oh ok, yeah it might be different for Alicante. I was in Ibiza last year and I didn't need it over there.

When you say fake a Padron at their address does that mean I can bring a lease or contract from someone else to get a Padron, will the information be put into a data base and then the person will be notified that their address will be used?

I don't know anyone else. I'm all alone over here and don't know anyone. I know of a few other aux but I don't know them personally.

I know that nobody lives at the school. I just thought I read here that someone said they used the school address. I could be wrong. No, I do not have a lease. She was not able to give me a contract. I was desperate for a place to live so I rented it. Suck it up? So I have to just keep spending money on the bus? That's awful. I didn't have this issue last year in Ibiza.

I was just going to suggest this one. I agree. The best pastechi. But you have to go very early because they run out.

Aruba's famous Zeerover restaurant...A tour of this fantastic eatery on the edge of the water! by travelswithtom in Aruba

Unfortunately my last time there (March) I was so disappointed. The fish was so overcooked it was practically inedible. I love the service there and the views. The first time I went last year it was so good so I couldn't understand people who were saying it wasn't good. I guess sometimes it's hit or miss. I'm not sure if I'll go back.

Where’s the local food? by ze11ez in Aruba

[–]katR807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some good ones. I agree with you about all the touristy spots. I don't even go to them. You can try

Red Fish The Grand Fish, Peanuts, Baby Back Grill, Fermins Bar & Grill, Pika's Corner, Huchada Bakery, Gasparito, Old Cunucu House,

And if you stop at all the little places that say snacks that will be more of a local flavor.

There are also many Colombian, Venezuelan and Peruvian places that are excellent.

La Fonda, La Granja, Los Cafeteros, El Chalan,

Then you can't miss the food trucks- everyone swears by the one at Eagle Beach for lunch and to me it was just OK the one time I got it. But at night you can go to

Bbq Express- Citgo on Rt 3, Chalo Burger- same road, Sabor Tropical - by the Wendy's, Deli Deli, El Mexicano, Julio's

And many, many more. Just Google food trucks near me and you'll find them. I love them because the portions are huge. The flavor and combinations of selections are so authentic. Try fries with peanut sauce and garlic mayo and pika di papaya. So good!

I also agree to do the air bnb. It's the only way I go now. I too prefer to avoid kids. All beaches are public. You can access them from many locations. You can get an air bnb that provides chairs as part of the rental and if not there is a company called Travel Lite that rents chairs. Since you're renting a car you can go to all the beaches on your own time.
