    Hi

    If you fancy something more spanish than tourist, but still with lots to do try Guardamar. I have also heard Altea is very nice.

    Tripadvisor is good for reviews of apartments etc.

    Good morning Daisy,

    We have a two bed apartment in Villamartin Costa Blanca, with views over looking Villamartin golf course front and back, option of two airports, with the nearest being Murcia airport which is 20 minutes away, Alicante airport is 45 minutes away.

    I would say this, depending on where you go, by the time you have paid for transfers to and from the airport it would only work out a little more to hire a small car even in August, then you have the option of doing some sight seeing if you wish, there is some lovely places to visit.

    Here is a link for taxi prices, click on the link on the left Tarifas-prices http://www.torretaxi.es/index.html (sorry about the cheesy music)

    Here is a link for car hire that we have used http://www.doyouspain.com/formulario.asp?idioma=EN

    This was the quote I got for August

    Pick Up City: Murcia Airport
    Pick Up Date: 14/08/2010 09:00 Return Date: 21/08/2010 08:00
    Renault Clio 5 door A/C ...
    Total:
    € 218.00

    If you need any more info then please let me know.

    Good luck with your search

  • we go here http://www.apartmentmazarronspain.co.uk/ Puerto de Mazarron is just beautiful - very Spanish and very relaxing. These appartments though are on the top of a hill about 15 mins walk from the beach and seafront but 5 mins from nearest bar and shops. Nearest airport is Murcia and transfers both ways are aboyt 80 euro all in.
    Cogito ergo sum. Google it you lazy sod !!
