The moral of this story is if you want to spend a few days in Andalucia, it's a bad idea to start by flying into somewhere 1000 kms/600 miles away. I see 4 days allocated to Andalucia, of which around 1.5 days will be taken up with travel. By "days" I mean daylight hours. You'll get one full day in Seville, and then one full day in Granada. I think I'm beginning to understand what your friends mean by "doing"...

London won't give you a real taste of Europe Neither will Amsterdam, Paris or Rome. They will show you just one side of the Netherlands, France or Italy.

Hi Nautiker, This is what they told me: Hieronder informatie betreffen de Tuinen Mien Ruys. De tuinen zijn zowel in het voorjaar, de zomer als in de herfst prachtig en het bezoeken waard. De 28 stijltuinen bieden een overzicht van tuinontwerpen van 1924 tot heden. Hopelijk kunt u hiermee uit de voeten. Vriendelijke groeten, Tuinen Mien Ruys Hillie Olijve (so: spring, autumn, summer and autumn; Arizoana) In 1924, Mien Ruys, a nursery...

Firstly, I presume from your other post that you are aiming for Caen? I don't know of any flights to that area, certainly not from Brussels, and certainly not for anywhere near cheap... i may be wrong, of course. search around for options, i'm sure google can help. for train, it's not too hard. Thalys has direct, frequent and fast trains from Brussels to Paris (about 1.5 hours). Then there is a direct SNCF train to Caen from...

Thanks Aribo, I should not have asked as that's exactly the reason why I never want to eat Italian food abroad :) Artemis, I don't know.... Maybe Italians are the biggest foodies you know of, but I know very few people who enjoy food as I do. I'm not referring to people on a diet, but more generally to people who are simply uninterested in food. I wonder, how can one be uninterested in food? It's like being uninterested in...

i love these "Is ot worth it?" questions. What do the Dolphins have to say about which company shows them to you? Depends on the luck of the day. Joes Dolfin Company only has skinny dolphii.

My two visits of the Alhambra were a long time ago, before all the hassle to get into it, but the Alhambra probably hasn't changed. It isn't small (especially not when you add Generalife) and it deserves your time. Entering at 3 or 4 pm would be too late in my opinion, in order to see it in a relaxed way before closing time, if that is 6pm. I would follow the advice given above and buy your tickets for an earlier enterance.

Agree with bjd - eurail can be cheaper if you are just comparing the price of it with walk up on the day point to point tickets. There are lots of discounts to be had on european trains, particularly in Germany, France and Spain by buying ahead. Of course you lose spontaneity by booking ahead but if reducing costs are a priority you just need to accept that. Another argument against passes is that people are tempted to take a lot of journeys...

Well Ogie I will leave it to the readers to decide who is a jackass. In the meantime, you can continue to just give them directions to the cliff and comfort yourself with the thought that it's their choice to jump.
