    Hi

    Have you thought about renting a villa? You could have your own pool etc a lot cheaper than this quote!!

    See attached Globespan price for the flights for your dates.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Riu Monica is exclusive to Thomson & Portland in the Uk, it is the biggest hotel in Nerja and has a good seafront position.

    Nerja is lovely, I go at least once a year and will be there at end of July. As Curlylox says that price is way too much! You can go to Nerja in the summer for a lot less than that, if you really want to go to a hotel there are others that are cheaper or there are hundreds of villas and apartments for rent. Eating out is very reasonable and plenty of restaurants to choose from, much better value for money going to a villa or apartment.

    I stayed at the Riu Ferrara last year, the food was superb. Regular local transport to Nerja and Malaga. You could hire a car with the saving you would make. Good savings here low season also. Good find saveapenny.

    why do people post to say sent you PM????
    If you are travel agents put your detaisl in your signature as the "code of Conduct" suggests. I would be very careful of any agent PMing me that doesnt do this so you cannot check them out
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel
