Friend of mine was recently driving along a 2 way road, she indicated to turn left, waited for the oncoming traffic to clear, then started to turn left and then someone from behind overtook her and hit her car. Her insurance co. L.....D..... say that it is her fault and that it is spanish law to wait for all of the traffic behind her to go past before she can turn!!!!!!!!!! I have never heard of this before is it a new rule or does L D not know what they are talking about.

I'd certainly be consulting a solicitor for clarification
Also depends on what the lineage waas on the road, and was she indicating?

They don`t like people turning left here, we have a lot of juntions that go off to the right, then you turn left when the lights change. lol

Im glad to hear that its only £6 from Oliva to Valencia return as im hiring a car for a month when i come over, rather than drive down from calais again, i worked out with the stop over in hotels, fuel, tolls and boat it was cheaper to fly to valencia and hire a car, so i was planning driving back into valencia for a day out - much better to go by train then - where is the station, please, Gandia? And to save time wandering aimlessly, would be grateful to hear what people recommend for the best/most interesting things to see/do?

Or you could just wander through the streets starting at the ayuntamiento.
An experience in itself with all that you come across.
Barrio del carmen is popular with its bars etc and the buildings are so old.
Or the beach at Malvarrosa.
The list is endless.
I love the place.

Valencia from our last trips HERE Click on the first one and then hit (S)lideshow
Well, the train station itself is lovely, then on the right is the bull ring
Go to the right and into the pedestrian area past the metro and you can walk up through the city to the Churches and the squares and explore the old town
Make sure you visit the food market as the building is really nice
Walk down through the river bed to the science park

It wasn't one of those junctions where you turn off right then cross the road, this was a normal road in the outskirts of Chiclana. I always thought that your insurance company was supposed to be on your side but seemingly L..D.. just want to recoup as much as they can by calling it knock for knock
