Guest comment. Jackie Barber says: "We have holidayed with cbSPAIN.com for the last four years and have rebooked for this year. We find the service that Keith and Jan provide excellent. The apartment is lovely inside and out, very clean and the decor is nice. Straight out onto a balcony on ground level (R005) where we can see the pool and keep an eye on our three boys. The area is great for any age, for either a quiet holiday lounging round the pool or going further a field to the many things to do locally. All in all cbSPAIN.com provide a great holiday experience from when you book. Jan and Keith make it a very easy process and a very good holiday, and we have and would certainly recommend them to our friends and family.............THE HARGREAVES CLAN THAT KEEP RETURNING, FROM GUILDFORD!!!

DESCRIPTION OF THE LOCAL AREA

La Florida, in the area of Orihuela Costa, is less than a 10 minutes drive south of Torrevieja. It has a very multi-cultural feel as many people from other countries now live in this area and actually outnumber the Spaniards! This area is a favourite for British and Irish ex-pats. Consequently, the shops, bars and restaurants in this area originate from many nationalities to provide food to suit all tastes - from the native Spanish to Italian, French, German, Chinese, Indian, Korean, Scandinavian, Argentinean, Hungarian, Mexican cuisine, etc.

The Emerald Isle Irish entertainment centre is opposite the complex with two swimming pools surrounded by large grassed sunbathing areas. You can sit and relax around the pool all day (small cost for hire of sunbeds and use of pools). There are children's play areas with the ball park and bouncy castle available for a small cost. The restaurant and bar are open all day serving hot/cold food either inside or outdoors. There is nightly outdoor entertainment in the summer. There are daily activities such as aerobics (in the pool when warm enough), Tai Chi classes, line dancing, scuba diving lessons, bingo, etc

5 minutes walk from the popular Irish pub the Abbey Tavern (www.theabbeytavern.com), which normally stays open until 3 or 4 in the morning most of the year and has nightly entertainment, large floodlight palm tree garden, big screens, pool, darts, internet computers and children's play area, and other facilities in the La Florida commercial area (supermarket, bars, Chinese and other restaurants, bank, car hire, hairdressers, etc).

Less than 10 minute walk from Consum, large modern supermarket and Via Park 3 commercial centre with 2 floors of bars and restaurants.

25 minutes walk from Via Park 1, Via Park 2 and the Flamenca Beach Commercial Centre with the Lansdowne bar, Rosie O'Grady's, the Blues Brothers, Divas Indian restaurant, Spud Murphies and 3 floors of bars and restaurants. Nearby are familiar supermarkets such as Lidl, Aldi and Supercor - the "Harrods" food hall of Spain.

There is a popular market on every Saturday morning in a wide road in nearby Playa Flamenca - within walking distance.

Nearby bus service into Torrevieja town or various taxi ranks throughout the area..

The EU Blue Flag beaches at Playa Flamenca and La Zenia have vast expanses of golden sands and there are jet-ski's, a banana boat and pedalo's in the summer months, as well as the usual "bars on the beach". The property is 1.5 km from the beach - 5 minutes drive or 30 minutes walk.

Bus service between urbanisations and the beach. Only around 1 euro per person getting on or off anywhere on the route. Ideal if you don't want to drive on holiday.

10 minutes drive, or 7 km to Torrevieja town centre, marina, harbour, Carrefour, Habernas shopping centre (H&M, C&A, Zara, etc), McDonalds, ten pin bowling, casino, etc.

It is only a 10 minutes drive to golf courses of Villamartin, Campoamor and Las Ramblas.
