    You go on holiday to have a holiday not spend half of it looking and haggling for accommodation.

    If you want to a*se about
    take a tent with you because you may not find anywhere else.



    do you realise exactly how many hotels/hostals there are on the costas

    Because it seems to me from your posts that you're very much a lager and chips type of holidaymaker.

    Where in any of my posts has this been mentioned?
    How can you possibly know from a post what people do or don`t do on holiday?

    I`ve probably been to more places in Spain and around the world for that matter than you and the other comedian put together, and mostly under my own steam.
    Booking independently flights, accommodation and ongoing travel once arriving at my destination.

    You seem to be a bit of a backpacker, worrying and watching every penny and I don`t think I`m far wrong about a tent.
    You`re probably posting from Glaso on you`re laptop now.

    yep Ive seen them on that tele show Benidorm


    couldnt agree more some of the frendliest people I have met

    You`d know all about Benidorm, instead of going down to the local station and going to places such as, Denia, Calpe, Altea, Guadalest Alicante.

    Get out of "sticky Vickys" and see a bit of the wonderful Spanish countryside.

    Probably too frightened to go alone.

    Due to bulk buying, you can normally get a better deal by pre booking, than you can at the door.
    EG
    My wife + friends were in Spain last month.
    Flights were cancelled and they had to return to their hotel. The hotel manager, although helpful, simply couldn't match the online price of 3rd party booking sites.
    However, He allowed them to use the internet + printer free of charge to "prebook" an extra 3 nights accom via a 3rd party site. (Alpharooms in this instance)

    agreed,but the op wanted to know if it is possible and of course it is,
    some of the smaller hotels/hostals are not on these type of sites though
