If you are considering hiring a car for all or part of your holiday, or arranging for someone to pick you up / drop you off from the airport, you must be aware that the law in Spain regarding child seats is very similar to that in the UK. Quite simply, if your child requires a child seat/ booster seat in the UK, he/she should have one here. The safety of your child should be paramount and the Spanish are very child friendly and protective towards children.

The police are clamping down and are stopping drivers at random and if you should need a child seat and don’t have one, you could be fined between €150 and €200. You will not be allowed to continue your journey until this fine is paid.

We can arrange for child seats and indeed other nursery equipment to be hired and available from the start of your holiday. We use an established, reputable nursery hire company, Kidease, (link below) and will be pleased to obtain a quote for hire of equipment and information about the laws regarding child safety in Spain.

Cabo Roig is fast becoming dubbed “Temple Bar in the Sun” due to its number of Irish Bars dotted along the Cabo Roig Strip. Great authentic Irish bars and restaurants are extremely popular with the thousands of holidaymakers visiting the area each year.

Most of them offer great food, generous portions and all of them produce the obligatory pint of Guiness! The atmosphere is always exciting and the staff hospitable. You can usually catch a live match on the big screens with football and rugby union top of the menu.

At La Zenia, there is the world famous Paddy’s Point bar and restaurant, while a few minutes drive away at Campoamor, the new Bernie Darcy’s offers excellent traditional Irish cooking and is becoming extremely popular.

This list is by no means complete, it’s a few of the ones we have tried, but check them out, you can be sure of a warm Irish welcome!
