Re: Cheap Hostels in and around Benidorm

I searched on hostels in Altea and they produce a woeful list, including at least two hotels that are certainly not cheap. Altea is very close to Alfaz, and it does have a hostal in the old town...

Re: As you were.

Isn't there a huge change? As in ridiculously enormous urbanisations, property prices falling, and Northern Europeans staying away from the property market?

Re: Need a quick answer!

I've been to one in Albir that was quite good, but I don't remember the name, it certainly wasn't on the N322.

I think Himalaya is pretty dreadful really. The food isn't great and the place,...

Re: My first experience of the Spanish hospitals.

My first occasion (and only occasion) of Spanish hospitals came about somewhat vicariously. My mother - in her eighties - collapsed and and ambulance was called.

She was whisked, no questions...

Re: Thumbs up to Telefonica

I have to say that I was really impressed with both Telefonica and our estate agents when we bought our apartment - the phone (really spanky smart and far more sophisticated than anything readily...

Re: Will a freeview box work in spain

My bugbear subject! I think it rather depends upon your geographical location in Spain. For me, currently the answer appears to be "No", unfortunately.

Re: Sites in Benidorm

There is a caravan site just south of Altea, but I don't recall the name or know what it is like, so I'm sorry I cannot be of more help. Perhaps if you googled "camping +sites +Altea +Spain" you...

Re: Can anyone help me regarding Sky+

Slingbox seems to be an interesting alternative, if you live in an area with poor satellite reception. Has anyone any experience of using this in the Costa Blanca/Altea region?

Re: Buying electrical and furniture On-Line in Spain

Do you speak Spanish? Fluently? If the answer to both of those is "yes" and prices seem substantially cheaper, then it would seem a logical solution.
If there is a slight hesitation on either...

Re: Don´t buy property in Spain or you will lose a lot of money

Hi, casa del sol, welcome to the site and all that! I couldn't agree with you more. When I bought my holiday home I looked at two apartments, one far bigger and with better views - if that's...

Re: Don´t buy property in Spain or you will lose a lot of money

I haven't been to the Costa del Sol for years, is it really more developed than the Costa Blanca? The mind boggles.
