Alicante on a budget

[Postdog]

I'm going away to Alicante at the end of next month, but for one reason or another, I won't be able to take as much money as I had hoped to. In fact it was touch and go whether I went at all - it had all been paid for, but the money I saved had to be spent on something else, and there is very little time to accrue what I had hoped to take. As someone at work said though, I might as well be skint and in the sun, than skint at home moping because I didn't have a lot of money.

I reckon I may be able to rustle up �250+, but it's self catering for a week. I have no idea of what Alicante is like - is it dear, or are there places where I can get a decent meal and a few beers each day and not worry too much?

Hey i was working in Alicante last year and is a very cheap place to live, the best thing to do is get your money changed at home and youl prob get about 360 euros for that, and that is more than enough. i wreckon you will be fine and wouldnt worry about it just relax and enjoy your holiday. youl probably deserve it after all the worrying you have done.Best tip i can give you as ask the locals the best places to eat. they normally give good tips or even go on to an alicante web page and have a search on that.

have a good holiday xx

Yuo will probably end up spending more money if you stay the same amount of time/period in the UK :)
