Do you like to dine out with others, or at home by yourselves?

Whatever your preference, we have it covered! 😍

We recently used David’s coaches to travel from Los Alcázares to Aqua Natura, Murcia. Lovely little water park attached to a zoo with slides, a lazy river and kids’ areas, plus a pool.

Pick up is around fifteen minutes walk from The Base in Spain and for this trip, the total cost per person was 34E including park and zoo entry. There are various other trips running from LA including boat cruises and rafting, which we’ve done before and loved!

Hope everyone is having a nice summer now the sun has finally arrived, hurrah 🌞

Review time, we drove up the coast to Aqua Natura near Benidorm (the only water park open in April 💦).

Low season prices meant we all got in for less than 70E, the flumes were near empty with no more than a minute’s wait for inflatables. They also let you bring your own food and drink as long as it’s in a small cool bag.
Kids really enjoyed it, we spent the whole day there and it was well worth the drive. We will be back next April before the crowds arrive!

The holiday season is just starting up, looking forward to welcoming some of you this year.
Here are a few top tips from our recent trip where we hired a car.

1. Visit Calblanque beach in the national park : it’s absolutely gorgeous with crystal clear water, and there’s hardly anyone there! Take supplies as there are no shops.

2. Try River rafting in Blanca (an hour’s drive) on the Segura. The kids loved it! We even had a beer and baguette stop and a swim ❤️ raftingmurcia.es

There is some fabulous street art around Los Alcazares if you know where to look.

It’s also a haven for water sports. You can learn to kite surf, hire paddle boards or kayaks. And at Spinosa bar up the coast there’s a kids’ club where they can try a bit of everything whilst you enjoy the beach for a few hours. 😎

We have Wi-Fi!

It’s ultra fast (600 mbs) so those of you wanting to work or game on holiday should be happy 😃

Bookings are coming in for 2024 now as some flights have been advertised. Get in early to get the best flight prices …

This is one of our local water parks, with a zoo attached. The weather is warm in LA at the moment, like everywhere else in Spain, so we imagine these will be well visited this season. We can arrange transport there and back for you if you have not hired a car.
Happy holidays everyone... and don't forget your sunscreen this year!!!

This also looks like a very novel way of seeing the area (think Billy Connolly’s world tour of Australia).
We bought my sister in law this as a birthday gift and she absolutely loved it!!

These guys are just up the road from us. They have trips for individual or small groups (hire the whole boat!) of people with nibbles and drinks. These run at various times of the day including sunset tours which look rather lush.

We have a lovely new keyholder in Spain (Carla) and are in the process of updating our welcome pack.

What are the essentials that you'd like to have to see you through to the morning if your flight arrives after the shops have closed?🥚🥖🍊🍅🍞😍

Anyone like wine? These tours of both well-known wineries and lower key family-run bodegas look great - pick up from Los Alcazares.

Well, lovely people, it's great to see you back and holidaying again after what almost seems like a distant memory of Covid and all it's horrors (let's hope it stays that way!).

After a quiet couple of years, we are delighted to be hosting some of you this summer. We are fully booked from now until the end of August but do still have a few weeks in September. Please get in touch if you'd like any dates. Lots of dates available for next summer if you want to get in early.

Thanks as always for being fabulous guests ###
