Thinking of doing this now (looking at tues to sat). Murcia looks the best option for a solo traveller, right?
Actually more reasonable prices than I thought it would be. Just got to convince the other half that 4 nights away on my own is acceptable.

Derby confirmed. 11am kick off on the Friday. 11am ko in July??? Take your hats and factor 50!!! 😲 Going to be brutal isn't it? Especially there as there's no shade. Still, means we'll be up and about and have the rest of the day for a boat trip or something.

I just don't have the heart or legs for that any more!

Just a reminder for those that care about international football and may change dates to watch it over there.
It's the Euros final that weekend

Still, means we'll be up and about and have the rest of the day for a boat trip or something. It was 25° at 11 o'clock this morning here and it's only May. Brutal isn't the flippin word. Deadly seriously for anyone coming, go easy on the alcohol or you might find out 1st hand what the Spanish Health Care system is like. I mean, it's good but you don't want to find that out for yourselves the hard way.

I know players on the continent play in those temperatures but there's a degree of acclimatisation for them. But sure it's all been checked and deemed safe. For me, it's no fun being out in that heat without cover. Sitting in a nice shaded bar with a fan or air con having a couple of cold beers is one thing. Sitting in an uncovered stand in the midday heat is something else. I'll last about 5 mins in that heat and retreat to the shelter.

There's a bar called Rocky's near the Burger King on the main road that heads back towards Torrevieja that has tostada on draft and reasonably priced grub. Someone will give you a lift there and I'm fairly sure the bus to Alicante has a stop nearby.
