Living on the eastern coast of Spain, driving along the coast road with the deep blue sea in my sights has always been a blessing to me. My mind catches glimpses, from time to time of the life I led before as one of the drones. Up at six in the cold and dark, getting ready for work. An hour for lunch and then home in the dark to Eastenders and bed. God, what a life! On a clear day I can see Ibiza from the hills surrounding Moraira. The party island is only some 50 KM from the coast and you can travel by ferry from Denia, a town half an hour up the coast from me. Hotels in Ibiza can be found cheaply enough although the week-end party ferry goers tend to sleep on the beach. If you are looking for a cheap hotel to accompany your holiday travel whether it be hotels in Ibiza or hotels in the Costa Brava or Costa del Sol there are always plenty available. The Spanish motel system provides a great number of hotels in the Costa del Sol. In recessionary times there are likely to be fewer travellers from the UK this year but exchange rates have not affected the rest of the Euro Zone, so I expect it to be as busy as ever in our small corner of heaven.
