So because I was charged extra for something that was beyond my control by Dickmanns car hire and because the police moved me on and didn't ticket me and because I had the cheek to turn up 15mins before opening time at a couple of restaurants I am a bigot.

Oh well Greece it is next year then.

Thank you Floella and Fighter 2 for confirming that Spain has changed along with the people that live there and that theres nothing like a bankrupt country to show its true colours.

I lived in Los Montesinos for two years and returned to the uk in 2008. I rented a villa in Alicante for a family holiday this Aug 2013 and was disappointed in the change of attitude towards visitors. We were diverted to Ibiza by Easyjet and arrived in Alicante a couple of hours late and on obtaining our hire car from Dickmanns we were charged 20 euros for being late. We stayed in Mutxamel and decided to eat out in San Juan and on two seperate occasions we were denied access to the restaurant because we were 15 mins early. This is unbelievable when you consider there were 4 adults and 3 children ready to eat and pay good money. On a visit to Alicante we parked in a underground car park by the port. On returning to our cars the payment machine would not accept notes and when we approached the cashier we got a shrug of the shoulders and told to go upstairs to the shops to get change. When we returned our fee had increased considerably. I left the car park first and parked out side to wait for my daughter and her children as she needed to follow me back to our villa and was instantly pounced on by the police and told to move. I was not given the opportunity to explain and had to contact my daughter by phone to explain where I was. my daughter has vowed never to holiday in Spain again and I think my wife and I will probably follow suit. Whilst us Brits were the ones spending money buying properties and making our home in Spain we were treated like royalty, now it appears we are a target for ripping off and ignoring.
