Hi all, bit of help if possible please.

I'm a PDC regular, but still get confused when reading other posts on here discussing bars in certain squares.

Where is La Hoya square for example? Also where is Montana square (think there is a restaurant called Marios here)?
I do know the old/new towns very well, but cant picture where the squares are in relation to their names.

Problem I'm having is when I'm doing a bar crawl, there are a few I cant find.

I do know Olivina Square by the way, and have visited that Sports type pub there.

Lastly, do the two squares in the new town (Arthurs I call number one, Whale & Ale number two) have names?

Apologies for the 20 questions, but I still feel there are some watering holes in PDC that I haven't visited.

Thanks in advance.

The "squares" mentioned are not official Squares as such. They're more a pet name used to describe the areas.

There's Centro Commercial (CC) La Hoya, at the cross-roads in the Old Town in PDC. And in the middle of the La Hoya is an open, square area.

Dito for CC Montana Tropical: there's a square area in the middle of a few pubs/businesses.

CC Olivin also has a square, but I've only ever heard it called 'Freddies Square' :)

Can't recall off the top of my head what the area is called where Arthur's and the Whale and Ale are, but it'll be CC something or other I imagine.

Cheers overhere and Pub Spy,

Think I get it now, the areas are centres with little squares in them.

Still not sure where the location of the Montana Centre then, but thanks for the replies.

If you mean Montana Tropical, it's up at the back of the old town on Calle Toscon. There are various bars and eating places there. One of them " Marios " is quite popular.
