Hi Caroliner, sorry I didn't mean to sound like we had a bad holiday it was still great despite the dubious quality of our villa :grin: wished we had gone back to a previous villa we had stayed at in Cala Galdana with Cosmos though as it was better appointed. Our car didn't get used much, we're on h...

Yes there will always be some like that, but there will be others who go out and spend on trips and meals, waterpark, boat trips etc Arguably people who book villa holidays and sit by the pool all week, picnic for lunch and BBQ of an evening with food bought from a big shop at Lidle don't contribute...

So do British Air Traffic control, but they don't keep holding holiday makers to ransom. As Globetrotter points Spanish ATC the earn double what an ATC at Heathrow does - it's just greed. :evil: and arguably in a country with a lower cost of living than the UK and 5 million unemployed. And yes I kno...

never hurts to have a little reminder.

Really enjoyed reading that Alan. Thanks for putting the report up, sounds like you had a brilliant time.

How on earth will that work. :sad: In a way tourists are a more certain economic group to go for as even if they are pretty brasic most of the year, people will save for 50 weeks to spl...

Don't think that is necessarily true. Many people who go AI go out and about as well, it's extremely unfair to stereotype in that way. For most it's not much different from being in a Half Board place, places that offer both, the clients use the same evening buffet. It's just that the price differen...

Looks very nice, I hope everyone who goes enjoys it and it brings a bit of money in and creates a few jobs. If only I was 30 years younger ..............

Great report, I love reading about other peoples holidays, so thank you for putting in the time to do it. Shame it sounds like it was quiet as it makes you feel for the business owners, but it is early in the season so still time for it to pick up.
