Thanks Shukran. The BA flight (operated by GB Airways) was direct from Gatwick. Clearly the best way to travel. Iberia have always had the Madrid-Seville route throughout the year. Whether the DIRECT route from Gatwick to Seville will ever be restored - goodness only knows.

Shukran- you say that you know that IBERIA flies Gatwick to Seville in November but don't you mean that this is an indirect flight via Madrid. ? Or do you know something we don't? You can fly direct from heathrow to Seville using IBERIA.

Duff lived from 1734 until his death in El Puerto de Santa Maria in 1815. He is actually buried at Gibraltar. Not sure about Thomas. The Osbo...

Looking at the same website, there is a branch in Antequera? Is this town the nearest or do you visit other towns? The branch is at 43 INFANTE DON FERNANDO and this should open a map centred on this branch:

I was furious last time I rented a car through Carjet. I was put with Europa gold car who cahrged me 50E for a full tank. I almost ran out of fuel during my stay and only just got to a station. Guess what a full tank was? 27E. Plus they make money on fuel left in the tank. This is a con and we shou...

For Banco Popular, they have a Branch Locator on the website:

i think Banco Andalucia and popular are one and the same.

Does anyone know the full story about CATAIR? I heard that Iberia are creating a low cost airline in order to follow the competition such as Vueling and of course Easyjet/Ryanair. The start of the new airline is planned for October, initially based in Barcelona, and in 2 years time they hope to have...

AM very surprised that nobody cares to mention the greatest of Andalucian wines. renowned the world over. Savoured by many and on our very doorstep. Delicious and with so many different variations. From the beautiful dry wine that goes so well with sea food to the extra sweet one that is delicious w...

I don't know this area but looking at this ALSA bus company web site, it appears that there is a bus from Almeria to Puerto Lumbreras (just to the east of Velez Rubio) and you can see times etc on https://www.alsa.es Then looking at ALSINA GRAELLS web site, they have services that link Puerto Lumbre...

Frank- how about cost of diesel ? What price are you using ? And is it exactly 1 hour and 59 minutes? Does that allow for any pit stops?

At last it's started. ! Long delay in the inauguration caused by some problems building the terminal at Cadiz harbour and other things. The timetable is on a PDF file on the Consorcio http://www.cmtbc.com/08/doc/TarjetaBarco.pdf The official parking area is apparently Free for holders of some Consor...

The latest arrests have not yet hit the 'boards' of the approproately named CRIMESHARES site which is packed with frauds, swindlers, con artists and lousy good for nothing pond file. This is the Costa del Sol page ! http://www.crimeshare.net/36.html I read that this latest round up was code named by...

According to the bus site www.movelia.es there are 2 buses each day. One leaving at 10.00 and arriving at 21.30 by ALSA bus company: www.alsa.es (costing Euros 45.35) and the overnight one that leaves at 22.15 and arrives at 07.30 in the morning by EUROBUS. I think they also have a web site. (costin...

Oh ok.

The only time I wouldn't suggest using the peage is at night if unaccompanied. Just out of interest, has there been a history of problems for unaccompanied drivers on this road at night ? I used it recently and was able to cover the distance between Malaga and San Roque in next to no time at night ...
