:) Thanks Mark, it looks like we will be out next year and probably take a tour of the area.  We have also decided to put our other house on the Costa Blanca up for sale probably next March, so we will see what happens then.  Fortunately we are in a fairly good position financially (at the moment!!!) so can afford to be more than competative on pricing! I know from other forums others are not so lucky and the job market is looking bad.  My industry however, is a growth industry and our hotels operate at a 100% full rate 365 days a year!! Speak to you soon.  Andy

P.S Just about to start a new thread on my next info blog!!
