Spain Experience

Great holidays in Torrevieja

Advantages: Nice beaches
Disadvantages: Crowded in August

Hi everyone!!! I only want to share my experience with all of you because it was great!!! I found a nice apartment in Torrevieja through Niumba, a holiday rental website, where you can find the perfect accommodation for anywhere you want to go at a good price in Spain and also in the rest of Europe ( Italy, Germany, France or Portugal). Once you have rented where to stay, it's easy to keep on planning your holidays. It's just what I did. Once I ...
...I booked a flight and started to look for interesting places to go and things to do there. Torrevieja has everything you need to spend a wonderful time, to relax and to enjoy Spain. I recommend Torrevieja and Niumba for your next holidays!!! I hope it can be useful for you. Lucy. ...

Torrevieja - Give it a try!

Advantages: Great place to visit
Disadvantages: Easier to get around if you drive

...drive from the centre of Torrevieja town. The most common holiday hot spot in the area they live in is La Zenia. It is around a 5 minute drive from their house and is a sandy stretch of beach with the Hotel La Zenia overlooking it. There are plenty of apartments and villas for rent in the area too which can all be found by just entering the resort into Google. The area itself is not the place to come if you want full on party action every night ...
...just as there are in Torrevieja town. A very popular resort in this area is Villamartin which is favoured by the golfers. Most places can be booked online and if you look around you can get some really great prices. I recently checked the price of a 3 bed villa in Villa Martin and it was priced at around £220-£375 per week. Not bad if there are a group of you going. For a two bedroom apartment in Playa Flamenca it is approximately £200-£300 per week. ...

Review of Torrevieja (Spain)

   Cad-izn't it lovely!

Advantages: History, beahches, seafood, sherry
Disadvantages: Can get unbearably hot in summer, the harsh Atlantic wind

...ORIENTATION The city of Cadiz (it is also the chief town of Cadiz province) occupies the bulbous tip of a narrow peninsular on Spain's Atlantic Costa de la Luz ("Coast of Light"). What you find in Cadiz, and what is lacking, is tied up in the size of the land at the end of the peninsular. There is no room to add new housing or shopping centres or theme parks and for me, this is a great reason to visit Cadiz. - what you see is what you get and will ...
...impressive portal to the city. Cadiz is ninety minutes from Sevilla by train and only thirty from Jerez; budget airline Ryanair serves both Sevilla and Jerez, making Cadiz very accessible. Gibraltar and Malaga on the Mediterranean coast are a couple of hours away by road. The great thing about Cadiz is that if you get lost you can easily sort it out because the sea is only ever a short walk away; at some point it blocks your path and you can re-orientate ...

Review of Cadiz (Spain)

A Fistfull of Euros

Advantages: Weather, Food, Culture
Disadvantages: Not enough decent clothes shops

I had never heard of Mojacar, part of the Spanish region of the Costa Almeria, until a year ago when my partner and I went on a cheap last minute holiday, based on a pretty short and desperate internet search. We fell in love with it immediately as it was so completely different from the Costa del Sol which have visited many times. it's named the Corner of Enchantment for very good reason, having retained it's historical charm and character, mainly ...
...(Residential buildings are limited to 2 storeys, whilst hotels are limited to 4). It is a calmer area of Spain, though it has to be said it is busier now than in the 60's when it became a bit of a hippy mecca. A lot of the old cowboy films were made nearby in wht is the largest desert in Europe. Mojacar Peublo set in the mountains is a traditional Spanish village comprising 'sugar cube' whitewashed houses, with narrow winding streets, and restaurants ...

Review of Almería (Spain)

Going Ape

Advantages: Unique scenery and culture
Disadvantages: Incontinent monkeys and uncontinental cuisine

...unusual peninsular with it's mountainous rock jutting out into the Mediterranean towards Africa is quite stunning but also has an interesting and quite violent history, and a rather obscure mixture of British, Spanish and Moroccan culture and cuisine and of course those monkeys. Gibraltar is a highly controversial place and has been a British territory since 1704 much to Spain annoyance, as it has a rather strategic location at the only entrance ...
...doing another lap of the rock and finally landing rather heavily on the tarmac. My girlfriend didn't have any such excitement, but the view on approach is quite memorable. Getting Around Gibraltar is small enough for a keen walker to never need a taxi, but there were plenty available at the airport, and on arrival I took one to the hotel to help me get my bearings .There are other taxi ranks around the town too. There are also minibuses that can ...
