    I remember one of those pill boxes doubling up as a wee shop that sold hand-bags. It was where the paseo maritimo had to go up a load of steps before they built the new promenade along the front. Probably about 3 years ago.

    Nice one Kev, not many would apologise and not necessary as it is really only a light discussion, but well appreciated. WWII pill box in LC ? - Page 2 4248600970

    No, there must be another one somewhere Here is what he says

    LOL - It's got a certain bunker-ish style. It's not the one we saw though. Too tucked away for even the Google Maps man so I couldn't check for sure. I guess when it was built there wasn't much there and it was a pretty good vantage point. Now you can see nada from it...well into someone's kitchen maybe :)


    Whoa! I should have been more specific Cru, and specified men don´t usually apologise, of course women do IF they are wrong but of course as you said we rarely are :Not me Guv:

    No certainly not, no need for an apology, I was just clarifying that WOMEN RARELY GET THINGS WRONG and men often get things wrong, but few, apologies. WWII pill box in LC ? - Page 2 506932706

    Ah but you got it wrong by not being more specific, this is most certainly a woman making a mistake, wonder what the other chaps think.

    If you walk up past the church on the right side, past Avenida de Sueca up towards Cactus and Eucalyptus it's on the corner of Calle del Nido.
