Hi Jac, I think anything available is better than a tent,so long as the sun shines and there is Sangria or Tinto de Verano we,ll be fine.

Sounds great Jacs, but will have to decline on account of health reasons and high insurance. Do hope it goes well for you though.

Unfortunately I would only be able to come during our school holidays I won't take my kids outta school for hols lol yeah i know a lot of peeps do....its just me ... I dont agree with it.......yeah and we end up paying top whack for any holiday...lol....

Lozzie sorry about the "while school is in " but it makes the flight cost so much cheaper ..mind I will check out a mid week maybe !

Private statics rent out at €35 a night sleep 4/6 thats leccy and water. So it would be a case of working out if anyone wants to share.

Cheap vino is 50cents a litre sangria about the same ....most spirits €12 for 3litres ......lol and menu del dia at around €8 (on site €11)

I will wait to see if anyone has a preference of dates ...well which month then come back on this

Nanna sorry you won't be able to make it.....we could do with some one to keep them in check

Mary ......Ken ..and any one else how does January sound or is that to close to xmas

Just thought I ought to tell you where you are coming to !!!!

Nearest airport is Murcia 20/25 mins up the road

Alicante is about an hour ...so only as a desperate push really ........thinking about pick ups and cab fares !!

I don't advise the chalets as they work out expensive ....it is better if I can get private vans

Jac

petal · 14-07-2007, 01:04 PM

How much are the vans Jac ?

La Manga · 14-07-2007, 01:19 PM

Most of them go out at €35 a night and are 2 bedroomed .... just looked on the website and it seems they have brought the cost of the "chalets" down but they still work out dearer and of course are smaller than a static van.

I will go and talk to a person I know, in the week,who rents out some vans to check that they haven't put them up.
With the vans you also tend to get much more in them ....like sky tv and microwaves etc..
