Mar Menor Chitty Chat

Hi, Jane

http://jazz.sanjavier.es/es/programa.htm

San Javier International Jazz Festival 2008 - advance programme details, no dates or prices as far as I can see yet.

Enjoy!

Diane

First time for replying!  We were in San Javier last week, and called in at the town hall.  We enquired about the jazz festival, they have a few artists already, but they told us to check the website.  As far as I can remember, they have Isaac Hays, Jonny Winter, Robert Cray.

Re: buying a place on the Mar Menor, we bought at Senoria de Roda about 2 years ago, it's great, we love it, no problems really. Just nice to relax when we can get over there, we have our townhouse for sale at the moment, as we are buying at Roda Golf and Beach club.

Where is Archena, and what baths?

Sorry if I've rambled on

Diane

Thanks all for your great replies.  Isaac Hayes at San Javier - wow I just have to go - Gina - fancy a trip!  I'm going to try to get to Ikea so that tip is probably going to save me hours of driving round in circles. 

Archena is just the other side of Murcia.  Huge indoor spa pool with inset jacuzzis, hot and cold plunge pools and 'river' from the pool that sweeps through waterfalls - it is really nice. Outdoor pool and small cafe too.  

Hi all. Not sure if this is the right area for this enquiry.  I have an apartment for holiday rental in Los Alcazares and am looking for individual or Company to meet/greet customers on arrival and for apartment cleaning/laundry after customers have departed.  Do you know of anyone that provides this type of service?  Thanks.

hey - i love to help you eam but im not out there at the moment..

Ocean star (think) they offer this service not sure on costs etc. might also be an idea to have a chat to the bars, they might know someone.

Hi

I know someone in Los Alcazares. I'll send you their e-mail address later this evening (some of us have to work during the day you see!)

Irene

Hi 1971, thanks for the info. I have emailed Ocean Star and hopefully I will hear from them soon.

Hi irene, I look forward to getting that email address from you soon.

thanks, Eam.

Hey,

Going to get the ferry to Bilbao and drive down to Mar Menor in June...whey hey.

Anyone got any advice etc it will be our first time. We will have sat nav and I will be researching route viamitchlin etc.

thanks

We're driving Santander to San Juan de los Terreros in May and we are splitting the journey over 2 days, travelling across to Teruel and staying over night, and then down the coast . We have 2 small puppies (and I have a bad back) so didn't want to be travelling too far each day, looking at the maps this should give us 5-6 hours driving time each day plus stops. We're hoping this will give us a good look at the country as we travel.

Hi All

Off to Mar Menor this weekend for a short break. Can't wait. Will take note book this time so I can actually name the restaurants and bars instead of my usual "you know, the one on the roundabout" .  Jane, get the dates for the jazz festival and we're off mate

Hi everyone

Can anyone help me with a dilemma for this summer? My daughter is 16 in August & is (reluctantly!) in Spain with me on the day. She's celebrated her birthday in Spain for the last few years & we've done most things from waterparks to shopping etc. I'm sure this year she would rather be with her friends & boyfriend but it's not possible, so I just want to do something different for her this year. Can anyone suggest any good days out in the area?? Any good boat trips or spas or anything really? Don't mind the cost (within reason lol) as she deserves a bit of spoiling after GCSE's.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated .

P.S. Hope you had a good trip Gina - found any more good restuarants??

Hi Annie,

Great weekend thanx. Not enough time though. Weather was fab.

I don't think you can beat the Pasty Shack for a birthday treat, and you get discount for being a regular there don't you?

Thought she might like a change though Gina - been through the menu a few times

Glad u had a good time - not long to going back again for you though - lucky devil

Blueseaboating looks great fun!

If your daughter loves the water another possibility is Watersport La Manga run by an English couple we know. We offered it for a birthday treat last July to our 15 year old and he opted for the go carting instead!

Hi guys

Thanks for the suggestions - think I'd enjoy those as well!!   Will look into them all in more detail.

Watersports, horses, go karting anything like that always goes down well. Did you do the go karting by the airport Lifeline? We tried to go last summer but it was shut. Think I've seen it open since then but haven't investigated properly.

Hope you had a good holiday More
