No local cheese as these are normally goats cheeses. No blue cheese.

There shouldn't be a problem with salads, the tap water is perfectly safe to drink, athough I would still drink the bottled water.

When you get here you'll probably be nicely surprised at the variety of restaurants that you can eat in.

Have a safe trip. x

I'd just follow the same rules as you would at home, Spain isn't like some of the less developed destinations so you should be ok.

I would be careful in the sun though, I found that I was much more sensitive to it whilst pregnant and burnt really easily!

15 weeks is a good time to go on holiday, just the time when you're sarting to feel less tired and before you sart to feel uncomfortable.

Relax and enjoy yourself and watch all the couples chasing toddlers around - that'll be you next time :lol:

Just a tip, I went to cyprus when I was 23 weeks pregnant and I found that sunbathing with a white towel over my belly to reflect the hot rays away from the baby, helped me feel a lot more comfortable. I avoided ice cubes and water as id normally would have done anyway, also no seafood and mayo, I had a lovely time and swam lots for exercise, also make sure you drink lots of water on the flight and get up and move around every half an hour, as your more prone to dvt whilst pregnant, have a lovely holiday.
