Hello
I have been there and eaten in the outdoor restaurant as did The Mccanns.
It is effectively in the back garden of the apartments, but there is a walled walkway between it and the apartments, therefore a person must go back to the road via the reception to gain access to the apartments. But have no doubts about it, it is part of the Ocean Club apartments and effectively the back garden.
As I have been shouting for about three years now, the distance from where we sat and ate at the Tapas restaurant, crow flies, to the patio doors is 50 metres. To walk to the patio doors is under 80 metres. In an emergency, a run of a few seconds for a fit person like Kate or Gerry. The Mccanns sat in the same restaurant as us and just about 2 or 3 metres to the west of where we sat
Where we and the Mccanns sat is NOT a bar; it is an outside restaurant. The bar is the ?brick built proper building to the west of the Tapas Restaurant. Many of the photographs on various websites are incorrectly (?Maliciously?) taken from this bar and they give a totally untrue image of the distance and visibility.
From photographs taken at the time of Madeleine's abduction, it is clear that all the bushes and hedges had just been cut back. Many of the incorrect photos were taken months later when the foliage had grown and give a totally false impression. Where we sat we had a clear view of virtually the whole patio door and the steps up. The Mccanns view would have been almost the same.
Since going there it has sickened me to see the disinformation given out about the view the Mccanns had. Disinformation and Propaganda are very powerful weapons and they have clearly devastated the truth.
