The flight times aren't too good though but not too bad as were about 30mins from cardiff.

Arrives in GERONA on 31 May 2008 at 23:45

Departs from Gerona on 15 Jun 2008 at 00:45
Returns to Cardiff 15 Jun 2008 at 01:40
That's why I wanted to book a late check out room.

Your holiday is part half term
ours are going to miss 10 days of school. I want to take the kids to the Roman ruins so that'll be educational.

We are going to the taurus park in june, and I just wanted to know how far calella is to walk to. about how long will it take to walk there with kids bearing in mind :lol:
Reply
If I remember it is about a 20 min walk from Taurus Park to Calella. You can also catch a noddy train outside the hotel that costs 2.20 euros return and I think kids are free.

Have you looked at both the sets of reviews for the Taurus Park?
Theres one under Golden Taurus Park and another uner Taurus Park Golden. The 2nd one has loads more reviews.

I went there many years ago and were going to try a meal out at Pepes if we can find it.

yes, i noticed that their are two lots of reviews, and most are very good.looking forward to going to the taurus never been to the costa brava before.husband is really looking forward as the last two hols have been ai, which he's not keen on as he hasn't been able to get a pint of bitter.

nicola1972,

You won't need to look far as Pepes is just outside the main gates. Say hi to Astrid for me.

hi nicola
is pepe's a bar,if so does it have entertainment on.
is there any other bars nearby.
any other places of interest would be welcome.

It's been a very long time since i last went to Pepes but it used to do excellent chicken & chips.
From what I remember (in May 1979 or 80) it was a bit like going into an old wooden building and they had an open fire with the chickens on spits.
Bet it's totally different now. Got to go there.
Sorry can't give you more info on what it's like but can do when I get back in June.

Hi there, can anyone tell me how long the transfer from the airport is to this hotel please?
Reply
what trips are there to go on for two adults, two kids 15,11.also how far is the water park and is there enough slides to keep kids entertained for the day. stayin at the taurus in august.
Reply
There is a free bus that takes to to the waterpark, stops right opposite the hotel . Yes there are plenty of slides to keep both adults and children happy for the entire day. Dolphin and sea lion show's , parrot shoes , there also other things like the human fly catapult , great to watch but i wouldn't try it :yikes for me .
You will have a great time .
