The temperature at the moment in Arinsal is around 38 degrees and has been for weeks. We normally get large thunderstorms in the afternoon due to the humidity but these soon pass too leave clear warm evenings.

The Bars
Quo Vadis, Red X, El Derbi & Jungla are open now all week and Surf is open Thu-Sun. Jungla has just reopened after a refurb and is now offering Tapas in a relaxed atmosphere. Music ranging from Tribal/Latin through to funky house choons keeps it on a different vibe from the rest of the bars.

For days sat on the terrace in the sun supping sangria or cold beers...
The Hotel Micolau is in the sun all day serving a set 3 course menu for just 9.9€ and fresh sandwiches are available from the bar.

Moni's cafe catches the morning sun and has 4 internet terminals for those wishing to surf while tucking in to croissants and coffee. Internet costs 1€ for 15mins or 3€ for 1hour.

Quo Vadis has a terrace by the river catching the sun all day and has free internet connection to people using the bar!! They are also serving a good snack menu at a reasonable price.

El Moli Italian restaurant has just reopened for the summer serving Pizza & Pasta dishes and the usual vast cocktail menu.
