Advantages: Good night life, relaxed. Disadvantages: Crime, not much culture.
I lived In Costa Rica for 6 years and I spent most of my time in the capital, Sanjose, which is what I am writing about now.
The city itslef is quite small for a capital city but it makes it easyto navigate (up to a point!!). SanJose is located right in the middle of the country in what is called the 'central valley' although it isn't actually a valley.
The airport is in the north west of the city, actually outside SanJose.
Actually most of the decent hotels are outside the center too.
I cannot really recommend and as I have not really used one but I did stay in the Hampton Inn once and it was fine.
Taxis
Use them, they are cheap.
A 30 minute drive could set you back the enourmous cost of £1.20!!
They are red with a yellow triangle on the door. They are official but there are pirates around. Don't use them is my ...
Advantages: Good weather. And some different ice creams. Disadvantages: Not much else
...now there's a fairytale title you never hear.
I like city breaks, I really do. Thus, I decided to tag a few days in SanJose onto the beginning and end of my Costa Rican tour. In total I spent 6 nights there, but only really 4 days due to flight times and travelling towards Arenal and back from the beach. This is still about 3 and a half days more than most people told me I would need, but I ignored them nonetheless, convinced that any capital city would have a fair few things to keep me entertained.
GETTING THERE AND AROUND
I arrived at 1am into SanJose airport which is about half an hour and $20 (US) from the centre. At that time of night it took us only half that time, though I would have happily spent a little longer on the roads in exchange for Mr "Authorised Airport Taxi" Man not running all the red lights. At that ...
Advantages: Beautiful Disadvantages: you really need a car
A pretty cove and a beautiful walk near SanJosé Spain
We went on holiday to SanJosé in Almeria Spain this Easter hols. This is a description of one of the best bays/beaches we found and a good coastal walk.
We used the tourist hiking map Capo de Gata-Nijar (1:50.000 same scale as an standard OS map here) which we bought from the tourist information in SanJosé, it comes with an accompanying book about the routes marked on the map. It also contained information about camping, apartments and other local information in Spanish. Dearly beloved can read some Spanish and I found I could follow a lot of the instructions fairly simply, you may be able to get an English copy. I will check this out .We found this a very good map and guide I would certainly recommend it.
One morning we set out in our hire car, with a loaf of bread, some ...
