Sorry it only what I have heard from various sources, would not dream of getting into a fight, I hope you are correct as I have friends that use the route, thanks for the update:thumbup:

I heard it on the telly I think. Maybe they changed their minds or its some time in the future.

Re: New User Questions
 

I think there's a lot of speculation because they aren't showing any flights after October but I think that not many of the cheapies do show them too far into the future anyway.

Things have been a bit dodgy for a while and Ryanair have threatened to pull out before but they do bring a lot of money into the area (by way of passengers) and Granada currently pay them to fly in there.

Personally, I don't like Ryanair but I use them because they fly closest to where I need to be so it's convenience really. Anyway, as of now the service is still running. For the future - goodness knows. So long as Granada keep shelling out then I guess they will keep flying in there. :fingerscrossed:

Thta is exactly what I am looking for.

What is your definition of 'cold winters'? Coming from Canada I am used to -20 to -30 Celsius.

That sounds ideal.

My plan is to get him into a Spanish school to give him a better chance to fine tune the language but a British type school is worth looking into.

Thanks for your input. It is greatly appreciated.

Not that cold but yes, sub-zero at night sometimes. And I bet your house in Canada has better heating and/or insulation than the one you'll end up renting in Córdoba...

It was the cold inside that really got me down - though it tends to feel quite cold outside aswell - those narrow winding streets were designed to protect against the heat of the sun.

Once in Córdoba I got up in the middle of the night to put a woolly hat on and go back to bed, it was that cold....

You have been warned. But good luck whatever you decide.

Thanks for your input. I really do appreciate you taking the time and I will keep your perspective in mind during the search.

Thats why we are going to the Costa Tropical to get away from the cold.

It was 24 degrees yesterday. That'll do for me in January. :thumbsup:

Re: New User Questions
 

Me too :D

Re: New User Questions
 

We have had very few sunny days in the last six weeks, most of it has been dull and raining.

Re: New User Questions
 

Theres been a lot of rain in our area as well but now its cleared up and warm and sunny again.

Going out on 24th Feb hopefully to complete on our casa :fingerscrossed:

Re: New User Questions
 

re previous post re Monarch, they do not go from Gatwick to Granada, this stopped about 18 months or more ago. I used it once or twice.:unsure:

Re: New User Questions
 

I wish someone would do Luton to Almeria :frown:

Re: New User Questions
 

Ooooops! that was me. Apologies. I am fully aware that Monarch don't fly into Granada. For the mind readers out there I meant to say Malaga. Same applies though about the threat to cancel the service. Hopefully it wont happen as a lot of people use that route.

I stand corrected :p
