I am looking at going to Salou myself (for the New Year that is), also on my own, for a bit of golf and peace. Don't know the place at all, but maybe nice to discover.

I have a friend who has two apartments in Salou, so if you are looking for one I can put you in touch.

I did a search in google.es for "Gandia Marina pisos de vacaciones" and there were quite a few hits for apartments to let. But not sure if they're available "out of season".

Hope you find something that suits. If you do and you're walking the beach and come across two fat old men paddling, that's us. Wave and say "hello".

Gandia Playa is a lot more "Spanish" than some areas around. It seems to be a Spanish holiday resort. Some of the places do close up in the winter as it's obviously quieter, but quieter is probably what Rosemary wants

Thanks Mitzyboy, but I am looking at a hotel deal with golf included. I did find one, now just need the courage to book it ! Not simple, organising a trip on your own !

My friend is a member I'll pop down before the weekend and check it out

Rosemary

Thanks, I appreciate your help, this morning started to get cold feet over it but still think that it will be the answer for me this year.

I hope you find somewhere to your liking, Rosemary. I've been on holiday alone several times and really enjoyed it, you can please yourself what you do and when you do it. Sometimes it can feel a bit awkward eating in a restaurant by yourself, but I always take a book with me to pass the time whilst waiting for my food to arrive and I've always been treated politely and kindly by waiters.

Hi Rosemary, feel free to join me in Salou, if you want. Gandia is a bit too far for me, driving from the Var in France. I am in the same boat as you, my husband passed away 2 years ago and only just now I am trying to do things on my own. Already booked a holiday in Ayamonte for February (we always went there so its very much 2nd home to me), and now want to try Salou for the New Year.

In the 4 months since Graham died I have made a point of going out for a meal every week because that is what Graham would have wanted me to do. Have never ever been on holiday on my own but I have to do it sometime and the invitations have started coming for the Christmas period so in a way I am running away from peoples kindnesses as opposed to having a holiday. I know what you mean about pleasing yourself etc but when it is inflicted on you permanently it is not good and not welcome at all. My family wanted me to go to the UK but I cannot face the travelling and Gandia is fairly close so if I want to I can bolt home again.

Thank you so much for finding this out for me and I am amazed at the price but just before I saw your message I had contacted a hotel and have booked full board.

Thanks again
