severe delays for all flights. We were due to fly out at 7PM, we flew out at 9.30PM in the end. It was a 3hr and 50 minute flight.
After transfers we finally arrived at the aparthotel at 3:50AM, very tired. We were greeted on arrival by a nice polite english speaking man on reception. We were checked in very quickly, given our our AI bands and shown straight to our rooms. We asked the receptionist if there was a machine were we could purchase some water. He said as we were AI we could get water straight away and brought us two bottle's to our room.
We had been allocated a ground floor 1 bedroom apartment with terrace opposite one of the large pools. The apartment consisted of a bedroom with 2 twin beds, bathroom with bath shower, kitchenette (2 cooking rings, microwave, cooking utensils and a fridge, kettle), satellite TV and a safety ...
Advantages: convenient location, clean quiet and comfortable Disadvantages: single room a touch on the small side, breakfast quite pricey compared with local cafés.
I stayed in the Gran Hotel Conde Duque for five nights when attending a conference which I had been organising in Madrid last October. As I work for a non-profit organisation my remit was to ensure that my accommodation was not overly expensive - no easy task, as well as being one of the official conference hotels. By booking on Activehotels.com I was able to get a single room for EUR 91 (ca. GBP 63) a night ? coming out at just under EUR 98 (ca GBP 70) a night including the mandatory sales tax. This was substantially cheaper than the ?reduced rate? of EUR 135 (ca. GBP 97) excluding tax being offered for single occupancy of a double room by our conference partners.
It should of course be noted that as with nearly all hotels in Madrid, prices are exclusive of breakfast ? for breakfast you will pay approx EUR12 (ca. GBP 8) extra. I did ...
Advantages: Not full of British Tourists, Quiet but with nightlife. Disadvantages: Quite windy
The Canaries
The Canary Islands were formed by volcanic activity many years ago and give the visitor a unique range of scenery from beautiful beaches to lunar landscape in the interior of the islands. Tenerife is the largest island with many facilities for tourists of all sorts. The Canaries were once called the fortunate islands because of their unique climate. None of the houses have fireplaces because winter daytime temperatures average about 23 deg C. In Summer the average is more like 32-35deg C and it rarely hits the stiflingly hot 40 deg C that you find around the Med.
El Medano / Pellada area
El Medano situated on the south of the island, was originally a small , poor fishing village, with a shallow harbour and with the town square overlooking the main beach. This beach is notable because it is the only natural white ...
