We have an apartment in Altea Hills and apart from the few people who are in the same apartment block I dont see much post from this area. Does anyone know why this is ? Its a great site - and you only have to look at some of the other sites to realise just how great ! So - if you are out there it would be great to hear from you and share info. about restaurants,walks shopping etc. _______________________ ^{_{Gilly & John}} Spam post?

I've made 3 posts Send private message to cafeconleche	Hi Gilly, We have a home in Castalla which is inland and a bit north from Alicante, so do we qualify? We only completed in July and it's a holiday home at the moment but we love it. We are surrounded by mountains and just 1/2 hour from the beaches. Is Altea Hills anywhere near the Altea Market? We want to get the train there from El campello sometime. Hope you get more replys! Bernie. _______________________ Café con leche. Spam post? If so please click here to report it

Altea Hills is about 2 km's North of Altea itself jusy off the 322. We have only just completed too and are only able to use it for holidays - not that we wouldnt prefer to have longer as going home is depressing to say the least. The area is beautiful isnt it both along the coast and inland.Do email if you find anywhere amazing to eat etc, Here's to Spain !! _______________________ ^{_{Gilly & John}} Spam post?

We took the train to Altea earlier this year, what a great trip through the mountains and the scenery was stunning. Hope to hear from more people up this way, I'm sure there are lots?

Restaurants...too many to mention..my favourites are El Pou - Down by the Marina...walk towards it and there is a set of steps to the old part of Moraira. The spanish is nice and rustic and the menu is typically spanish. Waiters are fab and the food is Xcellent El Runcon - If you walk up from the church in the square you can see a restaurant on the first floor. Its outstanding and if you like steaks they have the best we have found so far. Great with children and it is run by one chap who does the lot. He is a really nice guy Indian Palace - If you like Indian this is one of the best we found. If you like your curry hot then I would recommend you ask for a Vindaloo or Phal as these are similar to Madras strength El Castillo - each bar...excellent lunchtime tapas and evening Paella If you fancy a little drive to oliva Las Rusticas on the N332 going through Oliva. The food is so cheap there...Tapas are great so are the Pizzas for the kids. They also serve the BEST Coffee we have ever found Enjoy...mmmm _______________________ Learn to catch and skin a rabbit....you never know when a skill like that could come in handy Read my Blog....

That initself was strange in that it was packed the night before we ate there...It was very cheap, but not enjoyable Sorry can't help more... Have a good one and let us know how you find things _______________________ Learn to catch and skin a rabbit....you never know when a skill like that could come in handy Read my Blog....

The food excellent & they take a lot of time over presentation. It is also incredibly cheap. We had 2 set menus for 6 people in total & all our drinks plus ice cream if required & the bill was 85 euros. You definitiely need to book though - they were turning people away even in February.

(Think those on this thread are talking about a lot further up the coast though.) I have many faves that are smallish restaurants & I'm keeping them secret so we can hopefully get a table in future. Just think that over 20,000 members & families could be trying to book Banana Tree for next Saturday. _______________________ Away till 24th October in Spain Spam post?

Maybe they will be able to open another "branch" of the Banana Tree with all those extra bookings. Noreen _______________________ www.vera-apartment.com www.verathalassa.es Spam post?
