Guestbook for Esmeralda 1, Urb. Alcantara
I just wanted to thank you very much for the apartment last week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in La Cala and had a very relaxing holiday. I just wish we had managed to bring the sunshine back to the UK with us.
My friend and me had a wonderful time in Mijas Costa, and the neighboring cities. As always time was too short and I hope to return with my husband to this absolutely stunning area.
Thanks for the lovely stay.
Also thank you again for a lovely holiday in Spain. We like your apartment lots and hope that we will be able to stay there again once another chance for a Spanish holiday comes along.
