Catalans away : Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:30 am  

Not sure if it has been discussed but is anyone sorting a trip away as in past seasons?? Would prefer flights.

Re: Catalans away : Wed Apr 23, 2014 8:13 pm  

Flights & Hotel booked, 6 of us staying in Malgrat de Mar this year, 1st time in this resort so if anyone has got any tips on bars / restaurants would be appreciated.

Are all of the usual suspects going or will we have less supporters there this year? No cup run to pay for so hopefully a few late bookings.....

Flights Manchester to Beziers about £100 return, much less than we paid !!

Out Friday back Monday, flights reasonably social, only 50 miles from Perpignan & in France, so you can avoid the scam of 'leaving the country' perpetrated at Barcelona if you hire a car.

Ryanair for anybody interested.

Presume you know you need to take 2 x breathalysers for travelling in France, get stopped without two and you cop a penalty fine, and if you have a SatNav with speed camera locations on it, the cops will confiscate it.

Ryan Air Newcastle to Girona £72 each - Out Thurs back Tues
Catalan Sports Tours - pick up and drop off at Airport & Match day travel to Perps £48 each
3* Hotel with Pool incl breakfast 5 nights £106 each
Airport Parking £10 each
Job Done = £236 each

Done enough of Perps in previous years, can't beat Spain for value

Lots of options I agree.

Limited for time off from work, but maybe next year............

Last year journey from Hell, Barcelona car hire ripped up - bounced to a company way off site, wasted hours getting the car & got ripped off by every 'duty' known to man.Settle this year for a better trip.
