Are you looking for a last minute holiday in the Murcia region or Menorca booked with a budget airline, cheap self-catering or hotel accommodation,  need to rent a car, or perhaps want to look at property but avoid going with one of the large property companies? The site offers information about cheap flights, telephoning within Spain and to the UK, car rental, hotels and apartments, foreign exchange and health matters. My main area of knowledge is the Costa Calida and Costa Blanca South, i.e., south of Alicante and as far as La Manga. This area is served by Murcia Airport (San Javier) and Alicante Airport . These tips are hard to pick up without your being out there for some time, and they may save you money and time...
