[/b]Has anyone been to Catral?
If so please let me know what it is like!, I have heard that it is very pretty but have not seen a picture of it!
I would also like to know if there is a bus that runs from the village to Alicante City, Alicante airport and the beach (any sandy one!)
Help please!
try this
Both Catral and Dolores are small towns which remain relatively undeveloped and retain their Spanish character. There are plenty of bars, most of which serve tapas, and a few restaurants and pizzerias catering mainly for locals and the few foreign (mainly Brits) visitors or residents.
Evening entertainment is virtually non-existant. For that you will need to travel to Torrevieja a 30 minutes drive away. Quesada with its large number of eating places is about 15 minutes away but this is a purpose built town mainly for northern Europeans and is totally devoid of anything Spanish.
About 2 km from Catral is a railway station on the Murcia-Alicante line and there is a very limited bus service about which I can find out more if you like.
This area is ideal for chilling out but for anything more you will need to travel further afield and a car is the best way to do this.
Hope this helps.
Jim
thanks jim, your info is very helpful. I would be most interested in finding out about the bus and train service, where we get them and they actually go to. Can we get to a beach using public transport?
