During the
summer months, expect temperatures of around 30C during the
day so light clothing is essential. November to January can be
fairly cold, around 16C dropping to around 6C at night and you
may also want to bring an umbrella. It is always adviseable to
have a cardigan or sweater even in summer as it is always
cooler at night. During the hotter months especially, sun
creams are essential. Although nowadays it is not imperative
for ladies to cover their heads when entering churches in
Spain, it is still appreciated, so if this sort of sight
seeing is high on your agenda, a head scarf might be included
in your packing. |

The Spanish
love to eat out, from Gourmet restaurants to village bars so
you are usually spoilt for choice. They also eat very late in
the evening so many places in this area can look closed at 8pm
and rocking by 10.00pm! Most food is typically Spanish,
usually very good with an abundance of fresh fish and seafood,
a lot of lamb dishes, paellas and salad. The meat dishes are
generally plain but succulent. Prices vary according to
establishment but it is not hard in the smaller places to eat
for around 5.00 per head including your drinks!
As this is
a mainly Spanish area a pocket guide to Spanish is very useful
to help you through any difficult situations. Although the
Spanish are extremely friendly and polite, there are times
when just a couple of words make communication a lot
easier |

Buying a
house in Spain is a major step for anybody, beset with
pitfalls and problems. We've done it so let us help you with
your house hunting, at least by giving you a comfortable stay,
a hearty breakfast and a welcome at the end of the day to
discuss your progress over a pint or two or a glass of wine.
You don't have to be left in the dark - we will help you all
we can and hopefully point you in the right direction.
Generally, estate agents in this area are very helpful and we
can help you here too. Come and discover the area, make sure
you like it (as we do) and then go from there. One of the
major attractions for us when we first came here was the fact
that it is so green. Having seen much of the hot and arrid
parts of Spain, this was definitely a plus, added to that the
friendliness of the people and the fact that it is not as
commercial as other better known
areas. |

Spain is
well known for its golf courses and we are fortunate to have
eight 18 hole courses within a short drive away including a 9
hole in Gandia.

Although
Valencia is the nearest airport to us, Alicante is serviced by
most charter flights. If you are looking on the internet for
your flight, it is well worth checking Valencia as you may be
lucky enough to find a good deal and not have so far to
drive.
The motorway tolls are approximately 4 Euros from
Valencia and 8 Euros from Alicante. |

It is always important
