Cost of the fuel

Until they invent other cheaper fuel we will have to continue using gasoline. After the barrel of crude exceeded $ 100.00 mark the price of fuel exploded in a way that there are even bets daily as to where it will end up next week. At the moment we don’t have any new options so all we could do is try to save the consumption of this liquid as much as possible. Here are some useful tips.

In long journeys always plan the shortest route and the least congested and if you find it, let me know what it is), use air conditioning only when it is absolutely necessary, its use increases fuel consumption by up to 20%, make sure your tires are inflated to the pressure specified by the manufacturer, change gears from short to the longest as soon as possible, and of course don’t speed, its not good for your pocket of yourself. In short distances is preferable to take a bus, metro or tram whenever possible.

That’s why it’s important to choose the most appropriate place to visit. In Playa San Juan Alicante we offer good roads, excellent local transportation, and also, beaches, boardwalks, restaurants and the best weather you will find. What else can you ask for?

Benidorm reaching high

Published by TonyP under Benidorm

Benidorm has initiated the construction of which will be the highest apartment building in Europe, 55 stories with a height of 200 meters and will be opened in 2010. This summer city is not new to this type of buildings and there are others like her in the Neguri Win, Cibeles and Neptune, all of them of considerable heights, especially the first one that rises to 155 meters.

I am not opposed to progress at all and I think that when cities can’t grow horizontally, they have no choice but to do it vertically. I just hope that the Promoter Olga Urban SL, Architects Perez-Guerra and Olcina-Raduán, as well as the authorities have permission for conducting this work and have taken into account the infrastructure of the area because once the Intempo, (the name of this residential complex) is complete and needs water, electricity, roads, sewers, etc., etc..the city will need to plan accordingly.

The facilities will also include, swimming pools, gyms, solarium, tennis courts, gardens and much more. I have no doubt that this will take Benidorm up one notch in the international tourist rankings.

For my part and not to put down other places, for my holidays I prefer something quieter and more “horizontal” which is why I come to Playa San Juan in Alicante. If you haven’t been here yet, what are you waiting for!!

No, we’re not announcing a film by director Marc Forster this is a reality. Those who had the opportunity to go through the central Postiguet beach probably saw the sky adorned with figures of hundreds of multicolored kites wearing their various forms, ranging from parrots, aircraft, whales, etc.. etc..

This was an exhibit that brought together fans of this modality from different countries such as Spain, Germany, France, Italy. It is impressive to see all these kites doing “Pirouettes” in the air and each expert showing off their skills.

We are pleased that events like this take place in our area and we congratulate the organizers encouraging them to offer us more and more..

Mother´s day

Published by TonyP under Fiestas

Trying to know exactly when Mother’s Day started is an almost impossible task, there is data that puts such a date before Christ, others in England back in the seventeenth century and some more recently. But what’s really important is that it is a day devoted to remembering mothers, that being, that in addition to bringing us to the world helps us throughout a lifetime, lives for us and never asks anything in return, probably a kiss or a caress is appreciates more than any other treasure. It is very difficult to describe the unconditional and sublime feeling that is the maternal love, however there is a word that encompasses all the greatness; Mother.

This day is celebrated in Spain the first Sunday in May (in other countries, the second). It has become a popular day thanks to “marketing” that has been responsible for this, because this day not only to honors our beloved “Mom” or “vieja” (affectionately as they say in Latin American countries) but also offers them gifts and other treats, which seems like a great idea if they are accompanied by other more spiritual signs of affection; This latter moms will appreciate more.

A good idea for this Mother’s Day would be to bring together the largest number of family members as possible and take your mom out to any of the great restaurants here in Playa San Juan and show her all our affection. She deserves it.

Happy Mother’s Day to All!!!!!
