I have to admit that in our opinion, Easter is the worst for weather in Spain, before we finished work we used to come out for it and found it colder and wetter than Xmas, or maybe just our bad luck. It didn't seem to matter whether it was early or late.

The economic crisis continues to affect the Spanish tourist trade with a reduction in February of 15.9% in foreign visitors compared to February 2008.
Biggest fall was amongst Brits, making 23.4% fewer visits.

Donny-Gal - with regard to your family search try www.Rootschat.com I have only been a member for a few days and already I have found someone who is looking for my Mother's family - what a thrill - I had hit a brick wall and thought I would have to go to Cambridge Archives and low and behold the half of the family I was looking for she has and I have the other half that she was looking for - boy are we both thrilled. My Great Grandfather married into her family.
