With the best bits of the Costa Blanca within a 4.5 hour drive and as the Spanish had two "bank holiday" weekends, we took an apartment in Javea in exchange for a week at the Hayloft. The weather was mixed, ranging from hot to windy, but we spent 2 or 3 days on the beach and enjoyed snorkling in the Med. The girls 'trick or treated' around the sea-front bars on Halloween and we had a much-needed Brit-experience of shopping in Iceland, eating toasted teacakes and stocking up on books at the charity shops (I haven't seen one in Madrid!).Crumpets and English tea - very Costa Blanca
And as ever, the seafood was excellent, even with a gap in your front teeth (Annie)!
