Almansa Trip 2008


We have now heard from Almansa, who have invited us, to visit them, to join in their May

Fiesta.

The start date of the Fiesta is Wed. 30th April and the main processions are normally held

over three days.


The suggestion is to fly to Alicante on Tuesday 29th April and return Saturday 3rd May.


Individual choice of stay duration, as usual, is not a problem, so long as we know and can

Advise our hosts.


This then accommodates those who wish to extend their stay. If you extend your

stay you will be responsible for booking or arranging your accommodation, as this will not

normally be with host families. There are hotels in Almansa, and the Hotel Los Rosales is well

situated for a visit. Tel: 00 34 967 340 000


Estimated Cost: I have researched the air fare cost for example purposes, and the following is

currently available:-


FlyB from Southampton to Alicante 29/04/08 at 10.40 am – return 03/05/08 leave Alicante

18.05 pm (local time).


Booking direct with FlyB, the fare cost is £120.11 per person, including taxes and airport

charges. This is at the time of printing and can change as you get closer to the departure date

– so book early.

Bookings can be made on-line, at http://www.flybe.com,


OR by telephone on - FlyB Bookings. Telephone: 0871 700 2000 (calls cost 10p per minute;

Calls from mobiles and some networks may be higher)


It is possible for us to make group bookings if the party is 9 or more, but for some strange reason, individual cost then increases by approximately £15 per person. For this reason, as previously with our trip to Mosbach, we have decided not to opt for this, and ask travellers to make their own bookings.


Please ensure you book the 10.40 am flight as our hosts will collect us from Alicante and will

only make one trip for this.


If you need any help or assistance with booking contact me, Gerry, or Lynn, on 01425 622008,

or email to geraldrickman@hotmail.com


The only other cost is £10 per person payable to LITA. Some members have already emailed

me to express an interest.Please confirm to me in writing that you have booked your flight

and send your cheque with the letter to me at 1, Holly Lane, New Milton, BH25 5RF, with
your cheque made payable to LITA for £10 per person travelling.


I will need this before you are included in the party.

Please therefore confirm to me as soon as possible.
