Quote from: LC on August 11, 2024, 08:06:47 AMHeading to Cambrills later on this week which is a camp near Salou.

Meant to be very good, anyone ever been before, any tips / recommendations or do's and don'ts?

Cheers

10 years now for me, whats the name of campsite? We took train into Barcelona one day went to Salou, portaventura, went into Cambrils few times but the site we were on had plenty going on, there was path down to beach also which was handy.

Once you walked under the railway bridge there was a place were tents and motor homes were pitched.

Plenty of Dutch on site

Sounds like sanguli.  It and cambrills are same owner but it's much much bigger than cambrills.

Thinking of heading to some of the Christmas Markets this year. Anyone any tips on the best? Obviously needs to be more to see than a market.

I went to Vienna before the 1st lockdown, it's a beautiful city.

I was in Budapest around the New Year, it was a pale shadow or Vienna or Munich.

Vienna for me too.  Christmas market in front of the Rathaus.  Beautiful city.

Is there any good spots to go to in South Florida, am going on a cruise from Miami but have a few days / week to spare also. Have stayed in Miami and Key Weat before (key west is very good) but is there anywhere else in Florida worth staying in (early March so the southern area would be better weather wise)

Rois

Stayed at Delray Beach just north of Ft Lauderdale for a few days (chased out by a hurricane). It was a nice town with some cute hotels, bars/restaurants. Less than an hr from Miami Airport. Didn't get to explore the area because of hurricane but the beachy towns seemed nice and only 20 mins from Trump's house 😜

A friend of mine was in Naples (the one in Florida) for a few days last year and thought it was lovely.
They also liked St Augustine though that is further North.
Have only been to Miami and Key West myself personally.

Does Dublin fly to San Sebastián?

Have you not asked this before? No, but you can fly to Biarritz and get the bus.

Thought I did but was just checking..

After checking it's 50mins on bus or if you fly from Dublin to Bilbao it's 1-10mins..

Manchester do direct flights so might take that route instead..
