Hi i am thinking of driving to my apartment down on the costa blanca, and was wondering if anyone would share their experiences about routes, places to stop off, places to stay, toll roads, road numbers, useful websites for stop off accommodation or any other usefull information.

I would cross on the Channel tunnel, and i quite fancy going round the right of Paris down to the french coast on the med and into Spain along the coast. (Pobably Saint Quentin, Lyon, Girora) but other routes considered.

Not looking to rush the trip probably around 4 days to 7 days as we would be coming down for a few months at a time.

I know this has probably been discussed on here before but any information would be appreciated.

(Ferry to top of Spain out of the question as my wife freaks out on boats).

Mark.

Hi everyone.
we were out in our apartment last easter (inland from Guardamar, Costa Blanca South) and it was my boys birthday, we searched high and low (even carrefore) for a proper birthday cake and could not find one.  We are now coming back out at the end of July and it just happens that it will be my wifes birthday whilst we are there. Would appreciate any help or info about where i could get a birthday cake for her from.
Thanks
Mark

Hi everyone looking for some help/opinions on security grills. I have an apartment in Rafal on the Costa Blanca and i am looking to buy 2 window security grills for 2 windows each measuring 1.5m wide and 1m high, had 2 quotes coming in at around 525euros complete with fitting.

Was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a good price or am i being overquoted
Also can anyone recommend any firms in the area for me to check out.

Appreciate any help as i only completed September 2007.
