The first week we was there we used it 3 times with no problem. The 2nd week it didn't work at all. I was told that the one in Arillas (at the T-Junction) is nearly always working and filled up more frequently. We used this one for the 2nd week. There is also one at the pharmacy in Avilotes (Spelling!!) but apparently this only works when the pharmacy is open (Not in the afternoon).

God I wish I was back!!! :(

Yes - we hate that feeling as well - but I have 2 days off now and we have puppies at home - just one left to sell now,
and fingers crossed that will be tonight!! They keep us busy!
I am also running around getting the holiday stuff together for next week -
Remember the meals in the White Hart Pub?!

Not sure if I would rely on getting holiday spending money from a cash machine. Imagine if the machine swallowed your card. You`d be stuffed good and proper. I only use the card in an emergency. Usually take cash or travellers cheques.

That's a really good point Stevazoid. There would be no getting a replacement card if it did happen. You'd be gutted. We always only take cash these days anyway and debit cards to use if we need for the airport.

Yes we take cash and the card is just for top-up if we are miles out on the budget!!

http://www.ceroc.uk.com/
It's a cross between Jive and Salsa, with a touch of Latin!!
We went Ballroom & Latin American Dancing, took lessons for 6 years until last year, felt we needed a change then,
as we had reached the "Gold" level and didn't want to go to the next level into competition.
We only ever wanted to be able to dance properly!!

Ceroc is very easy to learn - basics in one evening!! even with 2 left feet!!
Ballroom - takes a while, but once you have mastered the basic steps, you build on it for the fancy moves!
Latin - just let the rhythm take you there, learn a routine and it looks great!!
