Hi Paula,
I've just returned (yesterday) from Andalucia.
Had a wonderful time, Hotel is really lovely, buffet breakfast and dinner, loads to pick from, and as much as you want to eat. Beautiful pool area, and lovely terrace, with the most beautiful views, to sit before or after dinner and trips very good.
re the amount of Euros, depends if you like shopping etc. I took approx 280euros cash and my bank and credit card. came back with some cash, but I did use the cards (I love shopping!). Hotel drinks were a little pricy euro2.10 for a Sprite, or bottle of water from the vending machine. spirits approx 5euros, but they are "doubles". There is a supermarket 2 mins walk from the hotel, where you can get a large bottle of water for a few cents.
have a wonderful time
regards
Sue
