Over the weekend of 22nd to 24th September we spent an excellent weekend in York. We travelled up on the Friday morning, arriving just before lunchtime, and got the Sunday afternoon train back home. This gave us two evenings, one full day and a morning and an afternoon to enjoy this excellent city! We actually fell pretty lucky because we (quite unintentionally) happened to arrive at the start of the York Food & Drink Festival, so had food stalls, tastings and a 15 pub "Ale Trail" to occupy us; as well as all the usual sites on offer in York. But, this is all for another review?.
~~~LOCATION.
Our accommodation for the long weekend was booked for us by a friend from Portsmouth. We were travelling there separately, but there would be just over 20 of us meeting up to virtually take over a hotel! We were staying at the Alhambra ...
Advantages: Easy to set-up and to play Disadvantages: none I am aware of

Many of you might be familiar with the prestigious "Spiel des Jahres" award
(German game of the year) and Alhambra won it in 2003. Not only that, it also won

I got this game for Christmas and it was one of the best games I ever got. This games is in the same league as "Carcassonne", "The Settlers of Catan" and "TransAmerica", I found.
The rules are simple and setting it up is a quick affair.
It can be played by 2-6 people, so if you fancy a game and your friends are nowhere ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Alhambra
Advantages: does the job, no airs and graces. Disadvantages: needs a six banger oiler under the hood.
I ran a 1.9 Alhambra as a company jallopy back in 2001 whilst living and working in the Netherlands.
Initially after coming from the company Merc I was a little apprehensive to change up to what looked like quite a boring car, how wrong I was.
My work necessitated a little more interior space for camera and photographic equipment which I frequently hauled all over Eastern Europe and in this Department the Alhambra excelled, of course i suffered with the failed air con condenser, something Seat now admit was a design flaw, but apart from that the Alhambra was a top performer.
when I recently became a Father the wife and I decided to buy an Alhambra, we picked up a Shadow Blue model from a main dealer in Kent, a 2006 model with 55K on it, with a FSH of course, problems manifested themselves during the drive home, it peed down ...
