Book direct!

Trip advisor, airbnb, booking.com and Holiday lettings are examples of rental/hotel listing sites that add a huge commission if you book through them. Owners direct are also going to introduce it.
It’s always worth trying to contact the owner directly for the best price, just google them as these sites don’t allow links to be posted.
I’m also sure you’ll find dealing directly with us will be a great help if you have any questions.

UK tv in Spain

UK tv is back at Finca Arboleda. A new Astra satellite launched in February meant no more UK TV in Southern Spain unless you upsized to a rather ugly 2 metre dish or bigger. Some owners provided Android TV for their guests but frankly who wants to learn how to use a small computer to watch awful quality TV when you’re on holiday.

Now you can keep up to date with Corrie, Eastenders, Match of the day, whatever rocks your boat. BBC, ITV, CH4 and BBC news at the press of a remote.

If you want a bit of telly on holiday check what is being offered and if you don’t there is still the WiFI to help you keep in touch.

If you don’t want TV or WiFi there are loads of books and the fantastic pool!

Cheaper car hire excess insurance.

When renting a car we found it was a lot cheaper to buy excess insurance cover with Questor than directly from the hire company. Europe cover £2.49 a day or £39 a year. https://www.questor-insurance.co.uk/

It’s not April 1st

The Independent and other UK press has picked up on this story from Mojacar, open the link or read it below

POSTCARD FROM MOJACAR
No loud heel-clacking in private properties or domino-playing, dice-playing and loud conversations in the outdoor terraces of bars. According to the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, the coastal resort of Mojacar will soon declare all-out war on civic noise, and these are just a few of the possible bans, with the very worst offences receiving fines of €3,000.

Spain has a well-earned reputation for being one of the noisiest countries on the planet, but that could be about to change – in Mojacar at least. Already, El Mundo says, a recent ban on disco music in beach bars means only background music is apparently now acceptable. And next on the black list, subject to a town hall debate later this week, could be “running, jumping, skating and taconear [stomping around a flat in noisy heels]” in private homes.

And so the list goes on: singing, playing dice or dominos, shouting or talking “excessively loudly” could all be barred from the outdoor terraces of bars and cafés. As for “making noise in general… when the levels are unacceptable”, that gets the thumbs down, too.

A town hall authority was quoted in El Mundo as saying the aim was merely to keep the peace while also maintaining “a degree of common sense”. The opposition have allegedly claimed such measures are  possibly anti-constitutional, and could limit the town’s  tourist appeal.

Or as one councillor reportedly put it: “If these [measures] were applied all the way along the Mediterranean coast, it would turn it into a cemetery.”
