Are you in Playa Blanca Delboy?? If so, whats it like? We are going there in July, staying 10 min walk the other side of the Rubicon Marina.

no have been 4th, lots of reviews with pics on it in the worldwide under Spain/ canaries

now what's 10 mins the otherside of the marina, as there can be a few short miles that can be done in 10 mins under hotels tape measures lol!

I was wondering about that myself. The "10 minutes" was probably done by an Olympic sprinter with his ass on fire lol!

Mad Destination Expert

so where are you staying 4th, I measured the times from Papagaya beach to the marina on one of the walks in a review

We will have a car Delboy. The idea is to drive in at night and get a taxi home. I can then cycle or walk to the car the next day and drive it back.

Mad Destination Expert

ah will you get a bicycle in the car, I would have thought the bike per day would cost as much as a single taxi fare, unless you all plan to have bikes for the week to use on other parts of the holiday

Sounds like a plan 4th, a few beers at night, then ride it off the next day. clap

Way ahead of you. The villa comes with 4 mountain bikes for our use and we are hiring an estate car so will have no problem putting the bike in the boot. And I agree, it will be a great way of clearing my head in the morning after a few beers the previous evening! clever

Mad Destination Expert

pugh, that's good then, lots of people turn up, being told they're 10 mins from town thinking they can walk it and get pee'd off
