2023 Subscriptions ginty001 Posted October 17, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I'm open to all suggestions, mainland Spain, Majorca, Annency , etc .. overall cost will be important, wouldn't mind going for at least 5 nights, but don't want to pay silly money as will have family holiday not long after coming back.... plus points for mainland Spain and Majorca are flight costs/accom and transfers are relatively cheap... where do you fly into for Annency ?

2023 Subscriptions PaulL Posted October 17, 2018 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Cool about Spain etc but can we keep thread to the title Amstel Gold 2019... a new post about Spain would be cool as I would be interested and it would make things less confusing. We have 7 signed up so if we get entry Amstel Gold 2019 will be happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your looking at economics you have 3 airlines fly to Alicante from Glasgow and one flys to Murcia, New Murcia Airport opens Jan 19 so that may increase , flying out of season so flights should be about £120 return food drink and accommodation is cheaper in this part of Spain compared to the islands Beer is about 2.5 /3 euros a pint , most restaurants offer menu of the day from 10/15 euros , coffee and snack at bars 2 euros . Roads are good enough for Valverde and plenty of options from pan flat to lumpy , but not alpine Darryl Gunson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never done a spring classic and keen for this. Paul, can I pm you my email address to sign up with JWCC team?

DavieB Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 If anybody else is interested in this I suggest they organise the trip sooner rather than later as you may literally miss the boat.......accomodation in Valkenberg also seems to be at a premium however I am not too sure whether this is just the booking type web sites trying to manipulate the market.

DavieB Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Aye.....have been on the B&B NL site and seem to have exhausted the possibilities......considered camping for all of 30 seconds and reckon that the "commune" 35 minutes hike out of Valkenberg may not be my cup of tea or me theirs...
