we are going to a Polaris World village in the St Javier area next week for 2 weeks.

does anyone know the area?  if so would appreciate info on - walking groups, inexpensive but nice restaurants (tapas), and anything else of interest!

thanks in anticipation!

Very jealous! But are you camping there? I'm just being nosy. Sorry I can't help with info, have only been to La Manga on the C&CC rally ( and loved it)

Fingers crossed you get nice weather, lucky you.

hi-no, we aren't camping-although we will be camping in France later in May.  We have been invited to stay at a friends house, and I just thought I'd ask on this forum because everyone seems so knowledgeable about EVERYTHING!  Actually we have only seen one campsite near there but after having looked around it last year I wouldn't stay there-it was near St. Javier airport?

regards, and it's fine being nosey!

My mum has a flat just south of Torrevieja which we sometimes stay at. However, we only really go for the sun, so spend most of the time by the beach or pool. Apart from Torrevieja, there isn't much in that area, IMO (we went to Cartagena and were very disappointed - a very drab place, considering it's historical signifigance).

Much as I enjoy the weather in Spain, I wouldn't go there for any other reason. I'm not a particular fan of churches/museums etc and I just don't find Spain a pretty place to be, especially compared to the Peak District, the Lakes, Snowdonia etc. Not their fault, obviously, but the great weather means, IMO, that the country looks like a desert. I quite like walks, cycling and picnics and I just can't imagine doing that in Spain.

I agree with you Nelmo regarding walking , cycling etc in Spain, we are only there though for a few weeks then we are going to France to tour around inland until July school holidays.  I guess that's when we will be doing the activities, we'll just do the pool/beach thing in Spain....  Thanks for your reply though, regards, carmel

thank you all for your replies , regards..
