Hi, we have had an offer accepted and would love as much advice as possible!  We are looking to eventually buy a car but in the short term can anyone give advice about car hire or public transport please?  Also, we are out in jan, what will it be like?

Hi Alison

We also have a holiday home in El Galan

Obviously in January it’s going to be a lot quieter than the summer months, that said there are still plenty of bars / restaurants open.

The weather, like the uk, can be unpredictable, sunny days are not uncommon but it will get cold in the evening.

As for car hire we use this guy. 
Dave Gaskell +34 695 17 64 87 we contact him via WhatsApp. His cars are not brand new but are very reasonably priced. He will collect you at Alicante airport.

He doesn’t require a deposit for the excess and the car will be insured for more than 1 driver at no extra cost ! 

Hope all the above helps. 

Good luck in your new home from home 

Warren

Buses

outside Euronics the bus goes down past Mercadona and Orihuela Costa to Cabo roig (nice market there on thursdays)

If you cross the road at Euronics the bus stop there goes up the hill to Villamartin Plaza then via Playa Flemence to La Zenia boulevard, as of the date of your post it was €1.50 per trip regardless of where you board or leave the bus.

You can ask the bus driver for a timetable or visit the information centre in La Zenia Blvd they have plenty.

I am hiring a car from D&M but never used them before, I find hiring a car fron the airport has lots of hidden costs.

Best just google hiring a car in Orihuela costa and see what you get.

My sister lives in Spain and unfortunately it's difficult to predict weather in January.

good luck

Declan

You can get a bus from Alicante airport to Torrieveja and in the same place get a bus to La Zenia blvd.

Good luck,

Declan

Hi Alison. We have bought a holiday home in El Galan this year and are loving finding new places nearby. We bought a cheap old car and store in at the airport with Star Parking when we go home. It works out much cheaper than car hire. Would love to meet up when you are next out. Good luck with the house purchase
