Any mobile hairdressers out there please ?

Hello, I'm graham and I am still looking for a long let in the santa pola, elche, gran alicant areas. I seem to be having problems finding a place to rent because I have a dog(beagle). I thought that we were a race of animal lovers these days but obviously I was wrong.  I can assure you that my dog Otis, is a lot cleaner and better behaved than a lot of humans are.  PLEASE if you don't have a problem with animals and you have or know of anyone who has a place to rent in these areas, PLEASE let me know. I'm am looking for a place from the 8th of February and am looking to pay about 400€ a month plus bills. Or if anyone knows of a place I could rent for a month or so, while I look for some thing more permanent, PLEASE let me know. Thank you very much for your time.  Only animal lovers need reply.!!

I will build my own terrace of wood and would like to find a place to buy wooden boards in Gran alacant or santa pola

Where is best place in Santa Pola to buy a new LED TV?

Hi all, new to this site, looks a good set up but seems quiet. Hope someone can help with my question.

We are due our 5th year staying in friends apartment at Gran Alacant. We have been to Santa Pola every year and enjoyed the festival parade at night time last year. We are wanting to take the local bus to La Marina, or San Fulgencio if possible as we want to visit a bar for lunch we stayed at about 6 years ago (Cagneys). I'm guessing we will have to travel from Santa Pola rather than GA which isn't an issue, so does anyone know the times the buses run. We are keen walkers also and would it be possible to walk the coast to La Marina, then we would taxi it to SF.

Another place we ain't been to yet is Elche, looks like our sort of place for a day out = bus times for here also would be great.

Thanks for any help.

Phil and Dee.

does anybody know where the ITV test centre is in Santa Pola
