Hello once again. When I look at the timetable on renfe.es cercanìas it shows a train from Sevilla to Cazalla y Constantina. But, when I try to purchase a ticket from Sevilla Santa Justa to Cazalla, Cazalla doesn't show in the drop down menu. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help?

Thank you!!!

Hello guys! I'm trying to do a little planning for my trip in September and I'm going through the RENFE site. I know that you can't book a ticket outside the 62-day window but for some reason when I input a date in June, the website is telling me there aren't trains from Granada to Sevilla in June!?!?! I've read some of the posts on here and most of you have said how beautiful the train ride is so i KNOW there is a train. Also, if I put a date in May, it gives me a schedule. Is this a problem with the site?

When I went to Toledo from Madrid, I thought I could just buy a ticket when I got to the Atocha station but I found out that the seats were sold out. I had to wait until the next day to go. I don't want this to happen so I'm trying to buy my ticket soonest. Speaking of which, do the trains fill up pretty quickly in late September?

Once again, thanks guys!!!

Does anyone know if Lobo Park is still open or has something happened to it ? I went to look at the website earlier (www.lobopark.com) & it just will not load. I hope everything is ok there as it's a wonderful place & i was planning going back again later this year. Many Thanks in advance, Darren.

Hello all,
I've been reading up on the rules of the road in Spain. We'll be staying in Nerja for a month and wanted to know the rules before we go. I've read that when we go to a small town there is a sensor outside of town that detects if you are driving too fast and if so, the light turns red so you have to stop. Can someone please confirm this and explain a little more? My husband and I have more questions but we won't bombard you with all of them at once.
thanks in advance

We are a family of four (including 2 teenagers) from Singapore visiting Spain in early Dec08.

We have booked an apartment at Costa del Sol at Benalmadena (Pueblo Evita) for a week and hope to visit Seville, Granada, Cordoba or Tangier during that week. Would you advise that we rent a car to make day trips to the above places during our stay? Or would it be better for us to book separate day tours to the above places?

We also intend to book an apartment in Barcelona for a week and make day trips from there. Again, should we rent a car or just book day tours?

Would be grateful for any advice to help us in our planning.

Hi, I am considering to go on 2-3 days trip from Cadiz (or Tarifa) to Morocco (possibly Tanger, or anything else in reachable distance). Can anyone advise me of a travel agency that could arrange such a trip, preferably for reasonable price? Also, what would be nice place to visit in Morocco, that could be included in such 2-3 days trip?

Hey guys!

We'll be arriving Jerez by train from Sevilla and will be in the Cadiz province for 4 days. We're going to be based out of Conil. The website www.tgcomes.es says that the bus route from Jerez to Conil is no longer running. Is this temporary. Are there other sites to check? I have no problem renting a car but I'd like to like the option of taking a bus if I decide to have some sherry. :) Any info?

Hi, I am considering renting a flat in calle de santiago which I think is in el Barrio. I haven't been to cadiz since I was a child and that area was quite run down then. Does anyone know what its like these days? My family are staying in the spa hotel but its a bit pricey for me. Advice much appreciated.

we are traveling to a small village in andalucia called yunquera next week and arriving quite late. is there a supermarket near yunquera that you would recommend for picking up essentials.

Thanks,

Dave

Hello VTers! I've decided that I'd like to spend some time away from it all during my trip to Andalucia and have subsequently found this place. There aren't a lot of reviews, which could be a good or bad thing. Nonetheless, the reviews that DO exist are extremely positive. Have you heard anything?

Thank you so much!

Hola - I plan on catching a bus from Granada to Almeria tomorrow and from there I would like to go to San Jose or Cabo de Gato. I am having trouble finding the bus schedule from Aleria to either of these two locations. If anyone knows the schedule or where I can find it online I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Is there a direct train from Seville to Granada. What is the shortest route? From Granada to Cordoba, then Cordoba to Granada?

Hi, can anyone advise on the procedure of getting a train to Montemar Alto from the airport. Is it a simple case of getting a Fuengirola bound train and getting off at the correct station? Many thanks for replies!

I will be meeting some of my family in Europe in Jerez de la Frontera in a few days. We'd like to stay together, and I have the opportunity to rent an apartment located near Caracuel and Calle Larga. Is anyone familiar with this neighborhood, and is it a good central location to stay at (near restaurants, stores, etc.)? Also, is it an easy walk from there to Hotel Jerez? Many thanks in advance!

Hi
Is there anybody who could give me some info on Scuba diving centres/schools in the Puerto Banus area?. I have heard there is one called 'the happy divers' somewhere around there. Are there any others that anyone can recommend and do they have English speaking guides/instructors? We will be staying not far from the Puerto Banus harbour and the divers amongst our party would prefer a place that is 'safe' yet 'close to home' if possible.
Anyone have any info to give or comments to make?
Thanks for your help.

I'm arriving Vejer de la Frontera via train from Sevilla and will be staying in Conil. What is the best way to get from Vejer to Conil. Would you recommend renting a car if I intend to visit neighboring towns like Cadiz? Thanks!
