Hola all!
Me and my family have just booked flights to Torrevieja and have decided to go out for Christmas. It will be our first time spending Xmas abroad and we're really looking forward to it!
We'd like a nice hotel to stay in for Xmas eve and Xmas night itself and I was wondering if any of you lovely, knowledgable folk could perhaps point us in the right direction!
We'd like a nice 4/5* hotel somewhere relaxing, but not completely dead either!
We've been looking into staying at the Mar Menor Golf Resort in Torre Pacheco and also the Hotel 525 in Los Alcazares.
We're not really fussed about the location.. anywhere in Cabo Roig, La Zenia, La Manga, Los Alcarzares, La Mata, Campomar, Alicante, Guardamar, Playa Flamenca etc etc.. would be fine! Don't mind travelling in order to get a nice hotel
So, to reiterate;
Location - not fussed! Alicante, torrevieja.. it's all good!
Price - No more than E120-ish per night
Nice hotel and nice modern rooms would be a bonus also!
Looking forward to hearing some of your suggestions guys!
Thanks a million!

I seem to remember that your last posts were about a holiday that you had planned in La Mata.
I am unsure about how much you enjoyed the area, but as you have listed it as a possible Christmas destination, I shall use the place as an example of what you can expect over that period in this part of the Costa Blanca.
Most of the areas you mention will be either very quite or shut over Christmas. For instance, you would be lucky to find any bar or restaurant open after 9pm in La Mata on Christmas Eve. This is because it is traditional to be with your family enjoying a meal that evening. The culture of going out to celebrate does not really exist.
La Zenia, Cabo Roig and Playa Flamenca are British areas, so there will be places open, but expect to pay hugely inflated prices.
The Hotel La Zenia is probably the best those areas have to offer, but in my opinion, the rooms are tatty.
Celebrations in Spanish towns are on the evening of the 5th. January when the ‘cabalgatas' are held. This is the parade of the 3 kings (Los Reyes Magos), traditionally children do not receive any presents until the following morning.
