PS it's my hubby who will be driving I've not plucked up the courage to drive as yet as the roundabouts can be a nightmare in and around Punta Prima.

Roundabouts can be a nightmare for anyone. I've been here for fourteen years and still dread them.
I visited Ikea when it first opened, and they wouldn't let people out of the entrance. I had to work my way round all the store before I could get out. Then I realised I'd agreed to meet my passengers in the cafe, so had to go back in again. That's why I like this song:

Cheers again Jim

As Jim has mentioned, the last traffic island close to IKEA is a pain! (roundabouts are found on a playground! Sorry Jim!!)
just remember to take your time and indicate. That said, that traffic island is a hub for nutters and people go all the round in the right hand lane... which is the tactic most employ all over the region I noted!
In an effort to help though, have a look on street view on the google maps link Jim provided and literally mouse click round it. You will see how the IKEA exit peels off immediately as you exit the traffic island.
Hope it helps!

Thanks for your info seems we need to be careful driving to IKEA and like I said before I am very wary of roundabouts. Your right nutters seem to be every where on the road plus we have witnessed in car parks people bumping into another car and just driving away. So we make sure we park well away from others.now if we can.
Thanks Babs and Joe

Hi Joe
That's a great idea however we are going for a load of new doors for our kitchen no idea what we are looking for so you can imagine we will be there most of the day lol. Probably take the car this time. However will keep this in mind for future visits.
We were not aware they did day trips nor have we heard of this bus company either so thanks for that info, we will check them out.
Cheers Barbara and Joe

Hi Joe
I dont wish to teach you to suck eggs in ANY way! So, as I fear I will be doing that...
Measure your existing door heights and widths! Wall units are typically a different size to base units. Base units are typically 80cm High and vary in width of course. Wall units can be a multitude of heights. None of which is an issue, I just didn't want you turning up at IKEA and assuming or not knowing :o)
Finally, make sure the range you are choosing has all the door sizes in them. I know IKEA 248cm tall units for example, some of the unit types struggle for door sizes!
No offence intended and hope it helps
