Well I don't know if holding your breath is a good idea.



The latest on the canal according to the Marfanta is that the canal will be built with private finance!

347 millions worth and then the builder will get a 30 year concession to exploit the sale or rights for using the water.  The impossible may yet happen.

But thinking of impossible things, what about the second hospital in Tortosa?  The sign is still up on the road from Roquetes to Ferreries.  This one I reckon is very very dead now.

I cant complain about Ryanair. My wife and I have been able to travel to Barcelona twice so far this year, without Ryanair there is no way we could have done this. It used to cost me a lot more 20 years ago. Smiley

The runway at the brand new Castellon airport is too short and will cost some 80 million euro to put right. Read below about the total waste of money ongoing even though no planes in the airports present state will ever be allowed to land there. Its about 102 k from Tortosa.To Barcelona it's about 150k from Tortosa so maybe it would have been another route back to the UK ?   Undecided

What a waste of time and money, on the airport in Castellon.
Ongoing excuses etc. of not being able to use it.
Some months ago I am sure they were saying that the runway there was approx. 2.4 km. long? and could take almost any of the big planes? 
The other week it was built in the wrong place because of cross winds, and now it's too short??
Will any of us ever get to use it?

Our son is flying out here from Bristol on 31st March for a two week holiday.  We booked the tickets today and Ryanair to Reus, which is just about an hour's drive away, costs less than £100 return, all in.  Easyjet to Barcelona, which is two hours away, is £240 return.  No competition.
