OK - who's up for a 5 day trip to southern Spain in the last week of October?

We can take in the sights around Cartagena, Sierra Bedar, Mojacar and if time allows a trip to Alquife.

I propose staying in Hostals (cheap Spanish Hotels), hiring a cars and everyone can look after themselves this way. We could hire a villa but this does tie us to one area. lots to see and I don't want to spend all my time driving.

I can input by pointing out sites I have visited etc. I'm sure others can do the same.

The weather is a bit cooler then for walking and I think we can have a pretty good time.

Partners would (of course) be welcome so we can have a relaxed time.

We can fly into either Alicante or Almeria (or even Malaga at a push).

There's nothing to stop us looking at touristy things too.

What do you think?

Yes I think so - to be honest one of the early flights from Manchester is so short as to be insignificant. But it can be 6 days if you prefer.

We spent a week in cataghena - and caught local train down to la Union - we also flew to Muircia which is closest

I have a feeling Adrian P has already posted loads of photos of the area - if you pm me I can provide email addresses of contacts you can use in the area who can offer you details and more importantly access to sites

Be careful with underground though we found instances of low oxygen and you should be equipped with a meter

Anyone news?

Done a bit of a flickr search on mines in that area, looks like there's much to see.

i don't think I'll be ableto go, too much exam revision.

Would anyone be interested in maybe going next summer, around late July?
It wouldn't be as good for walking weather though.
