Kevinkent Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Can anyone recommend a hotel a bit nearer to the action, Barrio del Carmen or Ruzafa? For those that haven't been before, the Expo Hotel is very nice, does a great breakfast, and is very easy to get to from the airport using the underground. We just want to consider other options, though they don't have to be cheaper. -Kev & Pam Edited December 4, 2009 by KevinKent Link to comment

Maria O Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) The Boogaloos are packed and ready to go. Heard great things about it last year so looking forward to it. We've been twice - first as guest dj's, then thirst for more so bought passes to go again - and had a ball each time. You'll both love it! Unfortunately I can't make it next Easter for this one, but if anyone else out there is needing a great last minute Christmas present for someone special ... how great is a romantic feasting long weekend in Valencia Spain, with an upbeat deliriously soulful time too! m ps. Make sure you make time for a trip down to the beach for paella and then the mind blowing architecture of the science museum area [click link here] Edited December 23, 2009 by Maria O Link to comment
Guest Dani Herranz Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 cheers Maria!!! shame you can´t do it this time,,,maybe next!!! and what a great idea for a Xmas present....maybe that´s been taken as had loads of bookings in the last two days!!!!
